Samsung Memoir Review

T-Marco — Tue, 17 Mar 2009 11:54:18 +0000

The Samsung Memoir is a problematic phone, mainly because of how it stacks up to its competition. It is undoubtedly the best cameraphone on the market, not just because it has the most densely packed sensor, but also because it took great pics under the best lighting conditions. But there were serious problems in the images, and poor low-light performance means we wouldn’t recommend this phone over a simple point-and-shoot. Though it boasts the highest pixel count, this phone isn’t much improved over the Samsung Behold, which costs about $100 less. So, you’re paying $100 for 3-megapixels and bragging rights. While we liked the calling features and the great calling interface, we still had trouble with the phone’s touchscreen, and we found the TouchWiz interface to be more cosmetic than useful. It’s great to see that cameras on phones are being taken more seriously, but we think that Samsung, and other phone manufacturers, can produce a better high-megapixel phone than this one.

Pros: Great calling features and interface. Best cameraphone on the market. Impressive navigation performance. Looks cool, like a slick little point-and-shoot camera.

Cons: Camera performance doesn’t measure up to a cheap, 8-megapixel point-and-shoot camera. Low-light pics were horrible. Screen occasionally unresponsive, especially the keyboard. TouchWiz interface looks pretty, until you try to use it.

Samsung 8MP camera phone got pictured

T-Marco — Mon, 08 Dec 2008 22:54:17 +0000

The mysterious phone that we were talking about will apparently be named Samsung Memoir. It should have a wide touchscreen, Samsung’s TouchWiz interface and an 8MP camera with autofocus and flash.

The handset looks to be a North American edition of Samsung Pixon, so T-Mobile’s customers will almost certainly be happy when (and if) it becomes available.

There’s nothing official about Samsung memoir at the moment, but, according to TmoNews, this is what the handset look. There’s a T-Mo logo on the front and (on another pic on the original post) a myFaves logo on the back panel above the massive camera optics.

Stay tuned for more info
