Samsung Pixon12 12-megapixel camera phone

The Pixon12 is the first 12-megapixel camera phone in the world, according to Samsung. There's no hanging around between shots either as it should be ready to go again in just two seconds.

Not only does it pack a high pixel snapper, but it also features a 3.1in AMOLED (active matrix organic light emitting diode) touchscreen display with a high contrast ratio of 10,000:1.

It comes with both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth built in and the internal memory runs to 150MB, which can be easily expanded up to 16GB thanks to the MicroSD card slot.

The Pixon12 will be available later in the year, price will depend on contract. See Samsung for further details.
