14MP Camera Phone from Altek
Altek is an unknown company that has produced many famous cameras. The phrase does sound a little strange but it’s true. Altek has probably built more digital cameras that one could imagine.
There is a good chance that you might have used an Altek manufactured camera at least once in your life.
The reason that the company is not known is that it usually produces its cameras and gives them to other companies who rebrand the products with their own trade mark before selling. But now the quiet giant is ready to enter the market with full force. But it’s not going to be the digital camera market; it’s going to be the cell phone market. One may wonder what the company is planning to do to enter the already highly competitive cell phone market.
Well the answer is that Altek is going to enter the market using its first cell phone called the Leo and this cell phone is going to be a smart phone. Being a smart phone isn’t enough to stand a chance in an industry that’s dominated by HTC and Nokia, but no HTC or Nokia smart phone has a 14 mega pixel camera. That’s right; the Leo is going to feature a 14MP camera with 3x optical zoom and Xenon plus LED flash. All of this is going to be handled by a big OS, probably the Android.
The resolution is high enough to make big boys like Nokia cry, and the big lens and optical zooming would make Sony Ericsson bang its head in a wall.
Let’s just hope the Leo doesn’t turn out to be a typical cheap made “China” phone.

Wow
If this is true, thats shocking news. Cause by looking at a pic, how would the lense accomodate in phone ? Just check the thickness of phone and the lense. How would it slide in and out. If not, how can we put those bulged back phone in the pocket?

Looks to me like it 'slot' on to the phone so you might have to carry the lens around as a spare part.

Thanks for posting this
I thought the mega-pixel race was gonna stop at 12, apparently not
Would anyone actually buy that?

Me too. This looks like 70% camera and 30% phone though. I'm wondering what the OS is.

That is one huuuuge lens. I guess this will probably be the winner of the megapixel war.

It's probably the most ridiculous phone I've ever seen
It doesn't look as good as the AMOLED, which was kinda the start of the phone-camera thing. Next thing you know Sony will be releasing digital compact cameras with phone functionality

I think it looks better than the AMOLED, with its brushed aluminium finish and all that, but it looks like it weighs a tonne.
Still, it's the quality of the pics that matters with a monster like this.

Hmmm... I get a feeling the one or two mainstream manufacturers will unveil a 14mp camphone despite them saying the megapixel war is over.
Such phones (Altek) tend to twist other manufacturers's hands and it is only a matter of time before we see something like this from the top 5 manufacturers.
