Hands-on with the Samsung i8510, an 8-Megapixel, 16GB Phone

The days of autonomous, point-and-draw the camera can be numbered. Last month, Sony Ericsson announced that its telephone of 8.1-megapixel C905 and today Samsung announces officially the i8510 for Europe, a megapixel 8 fixed at the hand with a strong combination of the devices. This Symbian-actuated compound is more volutionnaire that the revolutionist, but we like what we see up to now.

Though there is the no United States - date of publication for this telephone, we were likely to test it outside with an event of press of Samsung this evening.? Check it video on the heap of the i8510 in the action.

In addition to taking 8 distillers of megapixel, i8510 a:

• Video of QVGA (320?240): We drew a few seconds from video and, although we did not have time to download it and look on a computer, we were very impressed way in which our film, which was drawn outside one day very darkened, looked on the screen.
• Visual shooting with the idle with 1/4 and 1/8 speed: We examined the speed of 1/8 and, as you can see in our below on the heap of video, it looks at really good. The video with the idle is a rather new device with the cellphones. In fact the only telephone of the United States which we saw that it is above up to now the challenge of undercarriage.
• An obturator of objective which opens and firm automatically: Not enough of telephones of camera obturators have to protect their objectives against the inevitable scratches and dust that they obtain rebounding around in your pocket or purse. Those which have obturators usually force you to open them and close manually. The obturator on the i8510 opens when you are shooting and closes yourselves when you are made.
• A luminous screen of 2.8 inches: The screen seems just fantastic in the portrait or in width. However, it is thus haut-r3fl?chissant the air light can be an exit.
• 16GB of storage: It is more than to consider enough holidays whole full with the photographs and the vid?os or the hours and the hours of the music.
• Wi-Fi: We did not have a network open of Wi-Fi to the test with but we noted that this 3G-able telephone fol?tre also Wi-Fi.
• Symbian OS: While not commun run in the United States telephones, Symbian is popular in Europe and Asia. We wonder whether an American version Of this telephone could have a different OS.
• An optical controller: You direct around the screen by moving your finger above the trimming of order, which is like a reversed optical mouse. You should not really touch the trimming to move, but you can if you prefer that sour action clicking.
