high end camera+multimedia phone

Sep 25, 2009

Rating: 9 out of 10 (Spectacular)
Pros: quality camera images, good sound quality, slim design
Cons: batterylife
Opinion:
the pixon is among the high end camera phones that houses an 8 mega pixels camera. image quality is superb plus the many camera features it offers. the multimedia interface is not that impressive but the sound quality on music playback was excellent, the video playback was as good. having no wifi is really not a problem since i have a portable notebook computer which i can bring whenever i get too mobile. the rest of the features plus the user friendly interface makes the pixon the best choice if you're after a multimedia/camera phone. the only drawback i could find is the poor batterylife. but that's forgivable considering the good qualities of this phone. you can always buy an extra battery quite cheaply.

 

No WiFi Deal breaker !

Pros: Great user-interface, good camera,
Cons: No Wi-fi, relatively short battery life
Opinion:
I have been a Sony Ericsson phone user for at least 3 yrs. Have always been a fan of Cyber-shot phones as I like to take pictures as and when I see something interesting.

Hence, it was really quite tough choosing between SE C905 and Samsung Pixon.
Finally, Pixon won me over as it is a Touchscreen and it has a very user-friendly user-interface. (i.e. TouchWiz) I particularly like the widgets functions. Accessing my favourite functions is a breeze.

After using the phone for slightly less than a month now, and the phone has not failed to impress me.

The picture resolution which the camera produces is quite good. (though I have never compared to those of C905 or LG Renoir ) There are a lot of camera features like shake reduction, wide dynamic range capability, face detection, smile shot modeÂ…etc.

Live Pix is an interesting feature which allows me to ... Read more

 

Camera with calling ability

Dec 19, 2008

Rating: 8 out of 10 (Excellent)
Pros: Easy to use, good call quality, good camera and super video
Cons: Lack customization and wifi
Opinion:
I would call Pixon a CAMERA phone rather a phone with a camera. Notice I bold the word camera ƒº, cause in term of phone function, it work as good as any other phone if not better, and there isn¡¦t anything special thing to rave about; but the camera function to my opinion is fantastic; it has all the function of a point and shoot camera can have; that why I bold the word camera. (I stop bringing my Ixus out since I have Pixon with me ƒº)

Let talk about the star of the phone, 8MP camera. Pixon does not just offer a 8MP camera with auto focus but a stack of feature. Just to name a few : 16 x digital zoom, dual power LED flash, advanced shake reduction, wide dynamic range, face detection, smile shot, face link, auto panorama shot. With all the feature offer taking pictures has been easier. I use the smile shot ... Read more
