Samsung Electronics has unveiled the world's first cellphone model with a 12MP camera, a higher resolution than most digital cameras.
The roll-out of cellphones with high-resolution cameras has hurt the camera industry badly in recent years.
The world's top cellphone maker Nokia says it is also the largest maker of digital cameras.
Samsung said the new Pixon12 model would go on sale in Europe later this month, a blow to struggling rival Sony Ericsson, which has been touting a 12MP model since February but will sell it only in the fourth quarter.
