What is it: 8-megapixel camera phone with touchscreen
What we think: Its high-end camera takes excellent photos, but the Pixon's touchscreen is less impressive

We like:
8-megapixel camera; HSDPA; DivX and Xvid support
We don't like:
Lack of Wi-Fi; LED, rather than superior xenon flash; no 3.5mm headphone jack
CNET UK judgement:
The Samsung Pixon's camera took photos worthy of framing, which is more than you can say for most camera phones. That said, it didn't do so will in low light, so don't expect great things if you plan on using it for late-night parties. As a phone it performs well enough, but we don't think it's Samsung's best offering yet -- there's much better to come
