New Samsung G800 Cell Phone Review
New Samsung G800 Cell Phone is unique in its class thanks to its three times optical zoom and face detection. According to Samsung the G800 has been equipped with a camera that can fully compete with a regular digital compact camera. I think we can leave that remark for what it is. Samsung also claim that the Samsung G800 leaves all mobile phone competitors far behind. Is it true what Samsung is trying to make us believe? And are they able to fulfil the promises they made? You can read it in the following LetsGoMobile Samsung G800 review.

Looking at New Samsung G800 Cell Phone from the back it looks like the spitting image of a regular digital camera. A cover, sliding open or closed, is protecting the lens and the xenon flash. The housing of the SGH-G800 feels solid and has a fine hand-fit. When we take a closer look, only the buttons for answering and ending a call reveal that we are dealing with a cell phone.

New Samsung G800 Cell Phone has been equipped with a 3.7 Volt Lithium-Ion battery. According to the specifications the battery offers a standby time of 370 hours and a talk-time of over eight hours. This time is accurate when the cell phone is exclusively used for calling and sending SMS messages. When the integrated camera is frequently used, battery time drastically reduces and the cell phone has to be recharged after several hours. This is a vast disadvantage when you’re on the road a lot making extensive use of the Samsung SGH-G800’s other functions.
Problems trying to capture moving objects will soon occur. For example objects like playing children, a running dog or a sports event. We notice the same phenomenon on the Samsung G800 as we see on other cell phone cameras; shutter lag. And it is this what makes the difference on a real compact camera where shutter lag hardly exists nowadays. The Samsung G800 has been equipped with an electronic image stabilizer. The software speeds up the shutter speed and increases the ISO value which makes the camera more light sensitive. A disadvantage of the higher ISO is the appearance of higher noise values.

The camera of New Samsung G800 Cell Phone has been equipped with face detection. When this function is activated, the camera will recognize faces. The additional selection box around the face will indicate the camera recognized the face. Sometimes face detection takes quite a while to find a face. This delay probably occurs because face detection is carried out by software instead of hardware. On most compact cameras face detection is processed by hardware or in any case further developed and therefore a lot faster. The Samsung G800 is in fact the first mobile phone equipped with such an innovative function. Face detection in a cell phone is still so very new and will undoubtedly get further developed. Samsung has taken the first step by integrating this functionality in the SGH-G800 camera phone.
New Samsung G800 Cell Phone offers many setting possibilities. For example the possibility to adjust settings like white balance, file size, macro mode and picture quality. Also functions like Multi-shot mode and self-timer are available. Negative, Sepia, Black&White, Antique and Watercolour can be selected in the effects menu. Samsung’s digital compact cameras already offer settings to automatically retouch red eyes. Unfortunately this function is not found in the Samsung SGH G800 yet. The Samsung SGH-G800 does offer some photographic modes though such as landscape, portrait and macro mode.
