Samsung is working on a touchscreen S60 device.

While I don't think this is a big surprise to anybody here, it's still nice to hear some official confirmation.

I think that's just a dummy with picture representing the screen - no way the secondary screen would have a high enough resolution to show a pic that detailled...

MR,
good, we imagined that, that future high-end camera-phone will have xenon flash. Can you tell us more about it? G900? Is a slider?

hey guys

New Samsung M3200 a.k.a. Beat s







The Samsung M3200 Beat s sports a number of music-oriented features beside the already mentioned dedicated music keys. It's got stereo loudspeakers, a Bang&Olufsen ICEpower audio chip, a 3.5mm audio jack, stereo Bluetooth, FM radio with RDS and audio recording, and finally a music player Shake control thanks to the built-in acccelerometer.

Samsung's alternative to Shake control is called Motion Play. It's a unique feature for the Samsung portfolio and a similar control has been implemented only in several Sony Ericsson Walkman phones. It allows you to play or pause music with a tap on the phone, mute the music by turning the phone face down, or change tracks by shaking it.

The Samsung M3200 Beat s also boasts Samsung's latest DNSe technology (Digital Natural Sound engine). According to the manufacturer it should provide more natural sound effects, overcoming the limitations of sound from earphones and small speakers in portable devices. Handsets with DNSe technology should be able to reproduce a genuine 3D sound and deep bass resonance.

HOLY!! Samsung is prepping out 3 beasts in a 6-month period which Nokia can barely possibly bring 3 beast phones in >2 years of time!!

btw, is this a feature phone? What's the resolution?

edit: seeing that it's said to have news, weather forecasts updating constantly on the home screen, I think its a smartphone. Either WinMob or *starts dreaming* Google Android *stops dreaming*.
Oh, and touchscreen like the one in iPhone? Sweet.

Very good!
So "Bresson M8800" is an Omnia, with better "Touch management" + 8MP.
But is this the "imaging" flagship, can it possibly have xenon flash ? :O

I see GSMArena has picked up this story as well. Unfortunately it offers no more info. I wonder what the OS is going to be, this must be the Samsung with the Xenon flash.

One would hope on an improvement on the Omnia's screen resolution.

please, please have a vga screen..
if it does, itll trump the LG Renoir, and if its WM, itll be a direct threat to the HTC Touch HD.

fingers crossed

Only 6 days left... That`s reasonable.
Seems like an very interesting device, especially because it has M index which could mean its an ultimate music flagship. + the extremely good camera- we have a winner.

I'm very intrigued by this M8800. The fact they're already reporting triband HSDPA is a big plus. It'll be interesting to see if that holds true.

I was left feeling underwhelmed by the LG Renoir, but if this Samsung uses the same matrix as the Innov8, it could be a real winner for me.

Make of this article what you will about the M8800.

Not sure if it's just my browser but that Phones 4U page is now just a 404 error or takes you to the main page.

Very impressive specs.
15.5 mm thickness kinda bugs me, but its still relatively compact.
But still, if I consider it is smaller than n96 (which is 103Ч55), that means that this phone is a successor of extremely compact f480.

I found a site that copied and pasted the text from the Phone4U page before it was taken offline.

Sounds like if the M8800 does even half of what these people hype it to do, we're all in for a treat.

Quote:
Samsung are not wasting a minute as they stride towards the end of 2008, and their latest additions to the product range are a sure fire sign regarding their intentions. First of all we kicked off the year with Samsung Tocco mania, then we were all excited about the Samsung Innov8, now seemingly out of nowhere they announce an absolute giant slayer in the form of Samsung Bresson M8800.

The Samsung Bresson M8800 is a true epiphany of 8 mega pixel camera bliss, and can only signal a very short swift life span for their own Samsung Innov8. Okay, the Samsung Innov8 is the first 8 mega pixel camera to hit the streets of the UK, but you can't help but notice the shear bulk and weight it carries. I bet none of you can name the first England football manager, but I doubt any of you have never heard of Sir Alf Ramsey. Hopefully you can see where I'm going with this, if not, what I'm trying to say is that although the Samsung Innov8 was first, the Samsung Bresson M8800 will be the one the record books acknowledge.

The actual market name for the Samsung Bresson M8800 is still to be confirmed, due to the low profile surrounding the expected explosive launch. The M8800 is the product code, whilst the Bresson project title is rumoured to be associated with Henri Cartier-Bresson, a French photographer considered the father of modern photojournalism. Which given the handsets purpose and appeal, is very fitting.

What do we know about the Samsung M8800 though, apart from I have one and won't be giving it back, ever. Personally I'm a big fan of camera phones, especially given the convenience factor, but I often take a blurred photo when friends move any faster than a sloff. So imagine my huge pleasure when presented with an 8-mega-pixel camera phone with every camera function under the sun, whilst being more compact then a Nokia N96. To prove this point, the Samsung Bresson is 15.5mm thick, whilst a Nokia N96 is 18mm, a Sony C905 18.5mm, and finally a Samsung Innov8 is 17.2mm.

The touch screen accelerator interface is effortless and responsive, which is a far cry from many handsets on the market. Whilst the 3.2 inch 16 million pixel colour display shows excellent photos, it also supports and runs full HD TV viewing. So regardless of your entertainment demands, the Samsung Bresson M8800 is capable of occupying any preferences with the highest of competences. Films, pictures, games, and music are masterly delivered through a collection of new hardware and software advancements to the Samsung range.

Additional 'extras' to this touch screen marvel include new improved office interaction applications, GPS mapping, serious music capabilities, Instant Messaging, and high speed downloads.

Ultimately, this new flagship handset demonstrates a new dominance of the touch screen market for Samsung, whilst delivering camera capabilities far beyond anything they have previously brought to market. The Samsung Bresson M8800 will be a mobile phone are great reckoning, and the 8 mega camera is superior to anything we have reviewed to date.

wow, well if it has a 16mil colour display then it isn't windows mobile (65k colour max). as mentioned above no mention of wi-fi, but cant imagine that or xenon being left out. also wonder about presence of 3.5mm jack and mulit gb flash drive (8/16).

Btw, back in Feb, Samsung said they will be launching two Android phones later this year. A high-end one in September and a cheap one around Christmas. I really hope that this one is the high-end Google phone.

In Korea, there's the Haptic II to be announced very soon. It has very similar look with Omnia (actually dumbed-down Omnia). It's the same WQVGA as its predecessor Haptic I and it will feature 5mp camera. And lastly it's just a feature phone. I think your friend was talking about this phone.

hmmm...hopefully, but he hardly ever gets his data wrong, he's the one that told me the m8800 was coming when the innov8 was announced..( refer to previous post in innov8 thread somewhere)

Have you seen Samsung's planning and naming scheme this year? Well M=Multimedia so it's is probably focused on all multimedia fronts. Samsung INNOV8 is the Infotainment flagship from Samsung the same as the Omnia which is for WM.

Sorry I misunderstood your post, you ment that even though it's a multimedia phone it is more focused on imaging more than the other multimedia feature right?

A common theme I'm seeing with all the previews (granted, all the info is ripped from a single source) is how the overall multimedia experience is being overhauled and improved with the M8800--so while the phone may be skewed toward the camera, it will still offer a rich multimedia experience.

The only real data so far is from Phones4U, except that the model number M8800 can be confirmed by Googling. So everything else is just based on speculation and a close analysis of the Phones4U text.

The screen resolution is interesting.. Phones4U say that it is "full HDTV" which means a resolution of at least 750 x 480 pixels. In practical terms, that would be an 800 x 480 pixel WVGA display.. but one that's much smaller than other WVGA displays out there. Yes, it's more likely to be a WQVGA display

As for looks.. well, it will probably we a black slablike thing with a prominent camera on the back. Not hard to guess!
