Samsung G800

What is it?
A phone, a camera, an MP3 player


Who should buy it?
Photographers, that’s who. It features the first ever optical zoom for a 5MP camera phone. If you’re a pro you’ll like the face detection and Wide Dynamic Range (WDR). Digital camera features include panorama shots, multi shots and macro shots. There are video editing functions so that you can cut, past, and edit your own films. It supports High Speed Downlink Packet Access (HSDPA), which means the photos or videos can be sent to others quickly.

Why buy it?
You’re after a digital camera and a multimedia mobile in one. You want a sleek, sexy handset that looks like a digital camera on one side and fashionable, eye-candy, cellphone on the other. You like a large, wide display 2.4”.


MXit compatibility
The Samsung G800 is MXit compatible and works quite well with it, altho’ sadly the camera does not work with MXit.


How Much?
At the time of going to press it was advertised at http://www.pricecheck.co.za/ for between R4,400 – R5,716.
