Samsung Electronics Launches Mobile Phone With Colour Display and Embedded Camera

date: April 23, 2002

Samsung Electronics has developed the world's first CDMA2000 1X mobile phone (model: SCH-X590) with colour display and embedded charge-coupled device (CCD) camera. Building the camera into the phone makes it easier to use than having an external camera attached. The phone not only takes high-quality pictures but can also transmit the images wirelessly.

The embedded digital camera can rotate 180 degrees enabling users to conveniently take pictures from any angle. It comes with a 4-power zoom lens and has 20 different aperture settings to capture the best quality images.

The SCH-X590 can store up to 100 photos in its memory, and the multi-display function allows the user to view as many as six archived images at a time. The stored images can also be posted in the display background.

A mobile phone with colour display and embedded camera has many uses. Pictures can be taken freely while travelling or at major events and sent immediately to friends or colleagues. Consumers no longer need to keep an emergency camera in their car to record the details of an accident.

The SCH-X590 also has all the standard features of a high-end mobile phone, including a 40-chord progression polyphonic ring tone and support for online multimedia services (NATE).

Samsung Electronics is scheduled to unveil additional breakthrough mobile phone products next month. These include a folder model with colour screen and embedded camera that can rotate 360 degrees, and a synchronous IMT-2000 model that can display motion pictures on a colour TFT-LCD with a 260,000 colour range. The latter can be used to transmit live images of the speaker's face during conversations.

The new mobile phones with colour display and embedded camera will retail for around 500,000 Won in Korea. No European launch date is currently available.
