Live from CeBIT: Samsung's SCH-B600 10 megapixel cameraphone

Ever hold a ten megapixel cameraphone? Naw, neither had we, not until today anyway. Straight from the floor at CeBIT, we've got the Samsung SCH-B600 with an integrated 10 megapixel shooter. It's never gonna come anywhere close to the US or Europe so nuzzle up to your monitor real close-like and take in this beauty. Click on for more pics.

At least they can't brag about it being RAZR thin -- still, not bad.

Camera controls right up top where you'd expect 'em.

well this a nice multiple use phone. no need spend extra on 10mp camera's. when its goin to launch in india...

-->44. What is the point of a 10MP camera, how often are you going to use that amt? coz u'd be better off getting the new Sony Ericsson K800i because it has a 3.0 MP camera and has a lot more functions AND ITS A HELL OF A LOT CHEAPER!! and lets say ur walkin down the road and it rings, u get it out of ur poket and it falls on the floor and breaks?? �400+ gone!

... Dude, u see, there is a pretty BIG difference between the technology required to put together a 10mp + bluetooth + 3x lens + mp3, and the technology required to put together a 3mp with a shitty design and shitty price tag.

I mean you guys, you must consider the manwork and technology to put together all these stuff together...

Also, you should consider the fact that very few DiCa(digital cameras) are 10mp... most are 5~6mp, and man, you got bluetooth and mp3 with 10mp... just think about it!

And plus, in Korea the price tag will be from 800~1000 bucks, which will fall to 600~700 buck in less than a year (well, thats how korea is.. =p)

i heard that it has a 8GB internal hard drive.... thats more than enough for 5 or 6 pictures you might even get 10 if you have sod all else... who needs a 10MP camera anyway... whats the point...

THERE AINT ONE!!!

[(Unverified) Posted Apr 17th 2006 5:08AM]

They use new Carl Ziess's lens for camera phones that packs higher quality in a smaller space with extremely aspheric surfaces, BUT hard drive used in this camera phone is very slow (for writing) so you can make ONLY STATIC pictures with this nice toy!

I like but we do not know how much, gsm, frecuencies, picture memomy card capacity, which the quality of the video is?

[(Unverified) Posted Apr 23rd 2006 6:03PM]

for sake of sanity: want good photos?- get a good camera! want to make a call- get Moto Razr or anything small that won't appear in your jeans as all-time hard-on. God bless nobody combine toothbrush with a toilet brush...

You guys obviously don't know Korean culture. I'm South Korean and I can tell you that regardless of how "overkill" or pointless something like a 10 megapixel camera is, Korea will continue to make better and better phones to show off their technological advancement. People in the US use a phone for several years, but you'll rarely see a teenage-mid aged person in Korea with the same phone for more than a year or two. Right now, DMB phones are around in Korea, a technology that will not be in the US for at least 3-5 years, and uses satellite television that's crystal clear. These phones are very usable and are much more impressive than one may think.

sera que SAMSUNG con esta imnovacion le dara fuertes dolores de cabeza a la mejor camara del mundo Cyber-shot integrada en los celulares sony-ericsson que en realidad ofrecen unas fotos con mucha mejor resolucion que otras marcas en realidad me gustaria poner a prueba el Sony-ericsson C905a con el Samsung SCH-B600 con sus 10 mega pixel hagan comparacion y me regalan los resultados. !muchas gracias!

To the guy who insists on flaming everyone, calling people "Dude" and not understanding cameras. (29?)

Brutal noise is what you'll get. I suggest you do some research on "Digital Noise" of the type created by high resolution camera sensors with the photosites very close together. The sensor generates heat and the sensor generates noise. the higher the resolution, the greater the noise. Modern 12-16Mpixel DSLR's get round the problem by having very large sensors, up to 35mm across. This means that the actual pixel density isn't very high, and so the noise is quite low. The moment you shrink that sensor to the size this thing uses (probably a few millimeters across), you get, "Brutal Noise".

So the poster was right (I believe 23?)

Ok seriously the front of that phone is so ripped from a Sony Ericsson K750 I hope they get sued

I can't wait to see what happens when you try to crouch down and take that wonderful picture of your rare butterfly you found. You have your brand spanking new beautiful 10 megapixels of cameraphone, and suddenly your phone starts vibrating, lights up with garish colors, and sings baby baby baby... so maybe you manage to just click the shot before it flutters away and disappears forever. How on earth would it be a good shot with your phone vibrating, full of cell phone signal noise, interference from the ringer, and moving around in your hand?? tought shot? no, that's an impossible shot.
The camera on your phone is for taking snaps. You don't need or want 10 mp of detail to mess up your shot. You would have an arguably better shot in the end, with

halo. what is the price and how i get it. thanks.

[(Unverified) Posted Jul 23rd 2006 11:58AM]

Actually I've seen photos of their 8 MP camera phone... and the quality just rocks. It's as good as an ordinary camera (also as noise free), but you can phone with it too... or listen to music. The quality seems to be so good because they simply take one of their normal compact cameras and mix it with a phone... -> rather big sensor, electronics and lenses from a real camera.

[(Unverified) Posted Jul 31st 2006 4:38AM]

I got it information of this mobile internet.

I want buy this mobile

I am now in dubai. but iacan't find any where.

This is a complete nonsense. Who is the world uses a 10 MP camera in a phone and actually shoots some serious pics with a camera phone? next time when you are going for an outing with this crappy thing, god save ur holiday with no power left in this camera phone after 2-3 pics.....

[(Unverified) Posted Sep 27th 2006 1:20AM]

If it were available here, people would buy it....
if it is a quality camera, and affordable, I would look at seriously buying it. People who mock hi-tech as being senseless just dont get it. You should be a bricklayer! Technology ROCKS!

[lulianping Posted Dec 2nd 2009 7:55PM]

This would be better than the camera I have now, plus I wouldn't have to lug around my cell phone......

looks like a compatibale phone i wanna wheather its available in world wide and the price of it thanz

[(Unverified) Posted Jan 6th 2007 7:40PM]

That is one ugly phone. As others have said its
the opticals that determine how good a photo will
turn out no matter how many pixels are on the CCD
sensor.

And at the end of the day could you seriously use
this to do say a professional photo shoot over a
good dedicated SLR or digital SLR camera? I think
not. It's just a gimmick to suck people in, and
phone cameras are all by and large a gimmick.

[(Unverified) Posted Feb 16th 2007 1:25PM]

Thank you Samsung

[(Unverified) Posted Apr 10th 2007 10:11AM]

Its awesome, anyone who doesn't want one is lying. 10 meg maybe overkill to some people. But, we're looking at the future, as things develop, so will phone/lens/memory technology. 10 meg will be the 'norm' this time next year. However, is it reliable? Where can I get one?

[(Unverified) Posted Jul 3rd 2007 3:00AM]

Yep, It a great multi-purpose device but when you absolutely gotta have a phone. A tough ugly one will still be there and work too. Mine was even uglier after flying out the car window at 70 mph.
or approx 112.65 kph for metric people, and I didn't go look for it until 5 hrs. later but it rang and I made a couple calls on it.

Qualcomm the ugliest toughest shit available.

i think this fone will never come in mkt coz im looking 4 a long time can any body tell me does it really exist ?

[(Unverified) Posted Sep 15th 2007 6:21PM]

somehow people have assumed that because it is 10mp, the lens must be shit. Of course, you need a good lens too, everybody knows this, including samsung.

i would love to buy this phone. it would suit my needs perfectly. the current crop of camera phones simply dont take good enough photos. i have no idea how improving on these can be considered "overkill".

i do not expect the quality to compete with a SLR, but if it competes with compact cameras, then that, as far as im concerned, is great.

[(Unverified) Posted Sep 29th 2007 8:26PM]

man whats with those dudes, technology got to move on it does cater only for a particular group of peolpe but to every around the world. I prefer it that way and so many others out there. if it is not your type well just leave it and with respect dont degrade the device, remember it is not everything in this world that is created will please you.
Could any one out could give me the web link to buy this lovely device.

hello guys! i know everybody is schock about samsung's SCH-B600 10 megapixel cameraphone same thing with me. But, its natural to innovate a product to satisfy the needs of the a customer and it is good to be competitive in the market. We can't judge it unless you are using it. I am a kind of person who used a different product so i can compare it. And remember this no gadget is perfect! it will only becomes perfect with you...if you are contented in what you have! hope this product will come to the PHILIPPINES as soon as possible because me and my friends are eager to have this phone! have a great day!
