Samsung announces a 8MP digital camera mobile phone in Korea.

The Samsung SPH-V8200 is the world's first 8MP camera mobile phone, but is this important? Samsung released a 7MP camera phone SCH-V770 earlier this year. Clearly a 1.3MP camera phone is not that useful. The 3MP camera phones that start to come on the market I think have enough resolution. More camera features are more important than resolution at some point.

There are no close-up photos of the SPH-V8200 available yet and also features or technology specifications are not available. Samsung showed the phone at an analyst event.
