Rumours see Feb launch for megapixel monster

12MP Samsung camera phone incoming?

2 February 2009 12:24 GMT / By Amy-Mae Elliott

Getting excited about Mobile World Congress this month? Us too.

Upping those anticipation levels is a fresh rumour from a Korean news source that Samsung is to unleash a 12-megapixel camera phone at the event.

Aside from the fact that no-one could possibly need a 12MP phone, or that the pic quality might not be that great, it would be a "world-first" headline grabber of the first order.

Stay tuned and we'll bring you all the MWC pre-show rumours, as well as official news, photos and video from the event itself.

  • FYI Engadget have already confirmed that this is a photoshop! Posted by Alex, UK
  • Sorry, I should have put the accompanying image is just an i850 with "12MP" superimposed over where the "8MP" text is on the existing model and just for illustration purposes, created by UnwiredView. The rumour's apparently real, the image is not. Posted by elliott, United Kingdom
  • Ive heard the phone is due sometime soon as well.
    Who the hell could possibly need a 12MP camera ?
