> 14MP Camera Phone from Altek
Bookmark topic
I would never buy something like this. Anyway Samsung have already done this but not released it here & who needs 14 mega pixels? I am more looking forward to the N8 than this. I bet that lens ain't even wide angle even Nokia managed wide angle in a tiny lens in the N86. And who is Altek? That's the name of the 2nd hand pc shop on my road
There is going to come a time when phones will no longer even be phones no more I think it's OTT myself but that's just my opinion. I am quite happy with my 5 mega pixel phone that produces great quality & my Canon 10x optical wide angle zoom lens
Oh & that lens protruding out from the back of the phone may look fancy but who is the lens made by? Could be some cheap crap lens with a rubbish image processor inside don't get excited yet.You think of how the price of normal compact cameras have come down in price. Any cheap Chinese company can throw out stuff like this. I shall stick to
thanks. I shall go now before you all start throwing things at me

Are you joking about the lens? Look at the size of the thing? I wouldn't like to be hit over the head with it.
Like Dups! said, it wouldn't surprise me at all if one of the top five surprised us with a high end snapper.
I don't think the N8 is gonna sell. Android is booming. Even the N900 had lukewarm sales.

No I am not. Yes it's big for a phone but in proper real compact or DSLR terms that lens is small zoom
As for the N8 well Nokia is still doing well in their smartphone sales although I think the N900 was lukewarm cos it's not what people know.

Does anyone else think this thing is completely pointless?
It's too big to be a convenient phone and 14MP is ridiculous and will only make night photos terrible quality.

I don't think I'd get one but I guess you'll have to see how it compares with other cam phones to see if it really has that much appeal. It might have excellent video recording abilities.

I am wondering if in future these cheaper Chinese companies are going to start taking over the whole market flooded with Chinese & Korean phones throwing out stuff like this. Who knows? I hope not
One of my brothers has a 14 mega pixel Olympus camera quite pricey but pictures are shite
I know it's nice to have a phone in the hand which you can feel but some day we are going to go back to the 1980's with mobile phones so huge with massive 20x optical zooms on
If you want higher mega pixels you don't put them in phones or compacts use a DSLR
14 megs or higher in a phone or compact & pictures suffer

Techradar seems to think it could be running Android.
