Recently Samsung has made official its new 12Mpix cameraphone, the SCH-W880 Pixon a.k.a. M8920. The phone is a successor to the older M8910 model, and comes with an impressive 12Mpix camera with 3x optical zoom. Other features include:
It's official: the Sony-Ericsson Idou, which was announced at Mobile World Congress earlier this year will be released in October under the name "Satio". It'll come in three colors -- black, silver, and bordeaux, and will have the following features:
According to leaked info from a couple of Korean news sources, Samsung is planning to reveal a new 12Mpix cameraphone at the upcoming MWC 2009 expo in Barcelona. They claim that mass production of the handset will begin at the end of February with the European launch expected soon thereafter.

Sony has announced today three Exmor (CMOS) camera modules for future mobile phones, including at 5, 8 and 12 Mpix ones. Besides high-res photos, all three will also be able to shoot Full HD video. NICE!
It should be noted that the 12Mpix module won't be available until March 2009. Well, we can wait. Hopefully there won't be any delays.
According to the recent reports on the Web, we'll probably see 12-20 megapixel cameraphones before 2012. Such handsets will be able to capture full HD videos with WXGA resolution.

The rumor is pretty much baseless so far, but we're already familiar with several 8Mpix smartphones, so I guess it's ok to believe that a 12Mpix one is coming next.
