Samsung SCH-A990
Samsung.s A990 mobile phone-slash-digital camera could very well be one of the most definitive and groundbreaking pieces of technology to date. With the way this day and age keeps on breaking boundaries in mobile phone technology by combining two different gadgets (or more!). Some good examples of this practice include the PDA phone and the camera phone. The Samsung A990 is a good example (or the epitome) of the latter.
Physically speaking, the Samsung A990 isn.t that different from other recent clamshell mobile phone designs (even the rotating screen.s been done with other mobile phones before). On the mobile phone.s back, however, is a camera lens you.re not likely to find on other mobile phones. This mobile phone is capable of producing 3.5-megapixel photographs, the kind that can show most mid-ranged digital cameras how the work.s actually done. The lens resembles a standard digital camera lens with a hood, and the camera buttons along the sides of the mobile phone simulates a full digicam feel.
One of the greatest assets of the Samsung A990.s camera function is the lens. amazing auto focus ability. The technology used in the lens is still a pretty new introduction in the camera phone industry, and this 3.5-megapixel camera has eight different resolutions, with a maximum resolution of 2048 X 1536, and a minimum resolution that.s enough to take ID photos. The Samsung A990.s photos can give even most point-and-shoot digicams a run for their money, and beats the output of other camera phones such as the Nokia N-series models. This mobile phone.s camera provides better color and light saturation, while minimizing the noise in the photos; if you still don.t like the results, the Samsung A990 also has a built-in photo-editing program.
The Samsung A990 also has a built-in Bluetooth function . which plays in with one of the mobile phone.s smaller functions. This mobile phone can connect to a Bluetooth-equipped printer to print out the photographs, eliminating the need for a computer.
This mobile phone is perhaps the best camera phone available in the United States. The Samsung A990 is generally built to work as a camera phone, although it does have other mobile phone functions aside from the camera, such as an audio player. However, this is perhaps the worst feature of the mobile phone, since the audio player has no support for the mp3 audio format.
