Samsung unveils slimmest ever 8mp camera phone

Samsung has released a taster of its second 8mp camera phone, the Pixon, which will be available in the UK from the end of October.

The release is likely to irritate LG, which recently claimed the title of slimmest eight-megapixel camera phone. At only 13.8mm thick, the Pixon shaves off 0.15mm off the LG KC910. Like its LG competitor, the Pixon also sports a large touch-screen.

The device will be formally unveiled on Monday.

Here is the full Samsung Pixon spec list:

* Eight-megapixel camera with auto-focus
* 3.2-inch full touch-screen
* 13.8mm thin
* 16x Zoom, Dual Power LED Flash
* Face Detection
* Smile Shot
* ASR (Advanced Shake Reduction)
* WDR (Wide Dynamic Range)
* Photo Browser (Accelerometer Sensor)
* High Speed Video Capture and Playback
* HSDPA Quad-Band 7.2Mbps connectivity
* Online Widget for easy access to frequently used functions
