Written by ImagesLab.net on Tuesday, August 12, 2008

Samsung is proud to present their new upcoming model; the Samsung i8510 INNOV8. I think the model name is a tad too long and kind of hard to remember. But anyway this is how the sliding phone looks like:


Some of the main features:

By just looking at its design and features, makes me drool. This is no doubt a great phone to own. I'm satisfied with the HSPDA 7.2 Mbps connectivity and find the expandable memory of up to 16GB very irresistible.

Also not forgetting to mention the plus points which are the built-in GPS and Wifi connectivity that makes this a very excellent phone. The only let down is that it doesn't come with xenon flash for its camera. It comes attached with a LED flash. However, I'm excited about the 8MP auto focus camera. It is definitely a feature worth anticipating for. My DSLR only has 10.2 MP. Haha...

We shall wait until this phone is officially available in the market, which would be around the 4th quarter of 2008. Till then.. more details will be up soon!
