Samsung Electronics has just announced it has developed an integrated camera and cell phone in a single flip-open mobile handset with a 3,75cm TFT-LCD screen (Thin Film Transistor- Liquid Crystal Display) and built-in digital camera functions.

The unit has a 20-picture capacity at 350,000 pixel resolution in regular mode and 26-picture capacity in conserve mode, making it ideal for snapping just about anything, anywhere. A macro text-mode allows the user to take clear photographs of written text. Standard accessories include software for picture editing and a cable for connecting the unit to a PC.

A colour graphic interface has been achieved with the use of a colour TFT-LCD, setting the SCH-V200 apart from other mobile handsets with black and white LCD displays.

The new camera phone is simple to use, with a camera mode button on the side and a shutter button below the LCD. The lens is located on the upper rear of the phone and the photo preview is shown on the display.

Its high capacity battery delivers 170 minutes of continuous talk time and 180 hours on standby, and will last for up to 200 minutes during picture taking. The unit measures 119m x 47mm x 23,5mm and weighs just 150 grams. It has a built-in phone directory, vibra and privacy protection function.
