Samsung Memoir T929
Camera phones have been infesting the mobile market, well in a good way. These handsets have evolved through time, taking pictures that can rival some good quality point-and-shoots. One of these is the 8MP Samsung Memoir T929, unarguably the highest-performing camera phone to date, which aside from its breathtaking images can offer direct uploading to Flickr and Photobucket. Simply put, this camera is every camwhore’s dream.
Of course, the Memoir isn’t just a camera encased in a phone; it is also equipped with Samsung’s TouchWiz interface, a full HTML browser, 3G, GPS and a music player among others.
Samsung Memoir T929 is an ergonomic heaven, with its shutter button and zoom controls located on top, with the camera lens and flash positioned in a way that the fingers won’t block them, and framing your photos in such a big viewfinder, AKA the touch screen, is very cool. Add up the leathered area that is meant for a better grip. More to the Memoir’s exterior, this black gizmo measures 4.2 x 2.1 x 0.6 inches, undoubtedly one of the slimmest camera phone now, and its 262,000-color 2.6-inch touch-screen display make it appear so classy and fashionable.
The screen displays vibrant colors and sharp graphics and the backlight time and brightness can also be adjusted. Personalize the display with a wallpaper and greeting message. It’s also equipped with haptic feedback that signals the users the their touch has been registered through a vibration, which is a good thing because the screen is sensitive and responsive enough. Another good news is the presence of an accelerometer that automatically re-orients the display from portrait to landscape when the phone is hold horizontally.
Samsung’s TouchWiz interface consists of widgets for applications like the clock and music player, and you can add more in the main screen, so that you can easily access your most used applications. And as a full touchscreen phone, the Samsung Memoir lacks a physical keyboard but employs a virtual QWERTY keyboard, which may cause discomfort to first time touchscreen users.
Like stated earlier, this is a phone camera that can take pictures in up to seven resolutions, from a large 3,264 x 2,448 to the smallest 320×240. It has 8x digital zoom, a self-timer, three quality settings, a mosaic-shot mode, three shutter sounds with silent option, and nine frames. It also has an impressive camcorder that can record clips in two resolutions (640×480 and 320×240) in normal mode, picture message mode, and slow-motion video mode.
Other features include vibrate mode, speakerphone, SMS/MMS, calendar, calculator, notepad, currency, unit converter and more.
