Eight megapixel phones give you the best compromise between high-end imaging, and a lower price than the top-end 12MP phones. Let's check out the three best 8MPO phones on the market.
LG Viewty Smart
The first Viewty was one of the most successful phones LG have ever made, and now, the true successor to the name has arrived in the shape of the LG Viewty Smart. Featuring the new touch-based S-Class UI, the LG Viewty Smart is an incredible phone to use, with slick animations and smooth transitions between screens and menus. As well as the 8MP camera in the LG Viewty Smart, you also get a stunning multimedia player, and super-fast internet access, making the LG Viewty Smart one of the coolest camera phones out there.
Samsung Tocco Ultra - trading on its looks?
Touch interfaces are all the rage this year, and the Samsung Tocco Ultra has one of the nicest. Based on their TouchWiz UI (which has previously seen the light of day in phones like the original Tocco), the Samsung Tocco Ultra puts that interface into a body that's clearly been inspired by their Ultra Edition series of slim, sexy phones. Even the name Samsung Tocco Ultra hints at that dual heritage, with the phone being designed to look good both inside and out.
However, good looks aren't the only thing the Samsung Tocco Ultra is trading on some cool features, too. Quite apart form the sleek, finger-friendly interface, it's also equipped with a beautiful 8 megapixel camera (much like the Samsung Pixon that it will be sold alongside), and HSDPA internet access. As well as that, though, the Samsung Tocco Ultra adds a whole level of usability, but having a proper, slide-out keyboard.
In other words, anyone who wants a touch interface, but prefers texting, or dialling numbers, on an old school keypad, is going to right at home with the Samsung Tocco Ultra.
Samsung i8910 HD
The LG Viewty Smart is undoubtedly going to be a superb touch phone for those on more of a budget, and the Samsung Tocco Ultra takes the crown for being the most fashion-conscious. However, for the most exciting phone announced this year, we need to go back to Symbian, with the Samsung i8910 HD. It takes the crown of most powerful on this list for two reasons. First, the Samsung i8910 HD is built on Symbian, so whilst the interface will be familiar (the top shell is TouchWiz again), the phone gets a massive power boost over its siblings, giving it real smartphone credentials. The other factor that makes the Samsung i8910 HD so spectacular is video. Not only does it take still images at 8 megapixels, but the Samsung i8910 HD will also record video in true, 720p resolution, high-definition video. No other phone in the world can do that yet, so the Samsung i8910 HD has to be one of the most exciting phones ever, not just in 2009.
