Samsung’s 8MP phone S8300 to hit the market

Samsung is releasing a new 8MP slider which is expected to hit the market soon. Very sleek and lots of oomph factor with the phone just 12.8mm thick and featuring a large OLED screen. Not only this, the phone’s a touchscreen! If you’ve not had enough till now, let us also tell you it has a GPS receiver, HSDPA and DivX video support along with the standard FM Radio, Bluetooth and a microSD slot. Phew! We’re still unsure about the Wi-Fi functionality though.

It is equipped with the Samsung propriety TouchWiz feature phone interface. There’s no xenon flash and this may prove to negate the 8MP camera for night shots. It’s also reported to have an anti-scratch / anti-fingerprint coated duraluminium chassis. No words on the pricing or the date of release yet but it’s expected to be available by fall 2009.
