The Samsung M8800 Pixon mobile is the latest big-touchscreen, big-megapixel camera (8 Megapixel) phone from Samsung. Using a tweaked TouchWiz operating system previously seen on the Samsung Tocco, the M8800 may not have smartphone credentials but it remains easy to use, finger friendly and powerful. All this would mean little if the Pixon didn’t have the right features, however this phone manages to pack everything from SRS Virtual Surround Sound to GPS into itself.

The Samsung Pixon M8800 sports a beautiful large display touchscreen with a resolution of 240×320 and the ability to display 256,000 colours, it’s a resistive item so Samsung have included a stylus in the box to assist, however this is attached to a lanyard rather than hiding away in its own little slot on the casing, Not a problem as the screen is nicely responsive and the TouchWiz system provides sensibly sized options for easy finger control.

Of course, the standout feature of the Samsung Pixon is the excellent 8 megapixel camera. The lens is housed inside a raised circular section on the rear panel and has the usual flash, autofocus and video shooting (at a healthy 30fps WVGA) capabilities. To reinforce its camera-first, phone-second reputation, the Pixon has many features found on a regular point-and-shoot camera such as auto-panorama, face/smile and blink detection and an advanced shake reduction setting
