8.1 MegaPixel SE Phone on the Way

June 11, 2008 in Handsets, Sony Ericsson

You read that right. The iPhone and most other half decent phones these days come packed with the standard 2 Megapixel camera it seems. All that changed rather quickly.

Phones starting popping up with 3+ MP cameras such as the LG Dare that was made official by Verizon Wireless today. Then you have phones like the Samsung Omnia and Sony Ericsson Paris that had 5 MP cameraphones. Sony Ericsson blew them could blow them all out of the water, with rumors, complete with screenshots and videos, of an 8.1 Megapixel Cameraphone.

The phone in question is Sony Ericsson C905 which is currently codenamed Shihoh. We’re not sure if Shihoh will be the official name, but who cares about the name at a time like this… 8.1 megapixels?!?!

The SE Shihoh would be the suitor of the Sony Ericsson C line, which stands for Cyber-shots. And its quite fitting, because we have the Cyber-shits just from thinking about it.

According to the unconfirmed but extremely believable rumors, the Sony Ericsson C905 will claim the following specs and features:

Camera has auto focus, FACE RECOGNITION, smart contrast, image stabilization, best pic, red-eye reduction, geo-tagging, and xenon flash and photo flash for pictures AND videos.
Accelerometer allows you to switch the view of your phone, as well as the output for your pictures and videos, simply by holding your phone differently!
2.4 inch QVGA, scratch resistant, mineral glass TFT display
TV-Out cable
Built-in WiFi with DNLA Support (share all the media in your home!)
Bluetooth enabled (obviously) and USB connections (duh)
Weights 136 grams (pretty heavy, definitely a downside)
Available in Copper Gold, Ice Silver & Night Black colors

We’ve got 2 words for you, Sony Ericsson: Hubba, Hubba!
