Samsung’s high-end landscape slider that has been rumoured since January this year.

Samsung’s GT-I8000, or Omnia II / Omnia 2 as it’s expected to be known by the time it launches. Spec-counters will want to listen in close ’cause the GT-I8000 comes packing a 3.7-inch WVGA (800 x 480 pixel) AMOLED display (presumably the same display just revealed by Samsung last week) with an 8.1 megapixel camera lit by dual-LEDs capable of recording VGA video at 30fps. The Lithuanian on-line retailer responsible for leaking the specs (which have now been removed) says we’ll see a 1500mAh battery powering HSDPA data with a custom “cubic” UI (looking very similar to the UI on the S8000 Jet) riding atop Windows Mobile. With a superior spec-sheet will it be a more hit than its previous version ?
Samsung has just announced the Samsung Omnia 930SC, to be released end of November on the Softbank network in Japan, and not only does this device rectify one of the greatest issues with the Omnia (the low resolution 240×400 screen) by boosting it to the new Windows Mobile high-end 800×480, but also adds a One-Seg TV tuner which can record up to 48 hours of TV onto the 8 GB internal storage.

All the other great features remain in place, such as the 5 megapixel camera with face recognition and image stabilization and GPS.

Today Samsung introduced a new phone called the Pixon. The Pixon’s primary feature is an 8 megapixel camera with auto-focus, fast-shutter, face detection, geo-tagging and LED flash. It features a photo browser that interacts with the accelerometer to flip through photo albums.
The video camera can shoot at 30 and 120 frames per second, allowing for slow motion playback. It also has a feature that creates a virtual 5.1 channel surround sound audio mix of what you record. The Pixon resembles a camera and has a 3.2-inch touch screen and it measures 13.8mm thick. According to the photos, it uses Samsung’s TouchWiz user interface.
