Samsung prepares a new 8-megapixel slider

This year the INNOV8 and Pixon were released to certifiable acclaim. As the hybrid offspring of the two, utilizing INNOV8's slide mechanism and Pixon's large touchscreen, the Samsung S8300 should be a must-buy in March of 2009.

Super slim at 12.8mm, this phone aims at incorporating all the latest technology in a size never before attempted. Features include a 2.8-inch WQVGA AMOLED touchscreen, an 8-megapixel camera with CCD sensor and autofocus, 3G connectivity, 60MB of puny on-board memory, and support for the wonderfully flexible DivX format. A standout feature is the unique (orange?) color scheme, thankfully a degree of foresight was involved in the design of this phone and it includes an anti-scratch and fingerprint coating that will keep the body in tip top shape. The compact size looks great, let's hope there's enough room to power the widget-based OS.
