Officially announced today, the Samsung Anycall SPH-W6050 is the latest 5-megapixel cameraphone to be released for consumption in Korea/Asia. While its looks are a bit on the vanilla side, the specs are what make this phone, as aside from a 5MP auto-focus camera that’s pretty strong, it also features a built-in DMB TV tuner (a rarity of a feature in phones). The feature set is projected to be very packed, indeed.
A 3-inch WVGA LCD touchscreen display is also included, as well as Samsung’s unique Haptic user interface and Internet browser. Some users may also like the simplicity of its design, which some favor over the mirrored and overly slick “modern” design.
This new smartphone supports HSUPA/3G connectivity, which could make that front-facing camera very useful. Of course, there’s the usual array of mobile phone features available: Bluetooth and expandable microSD memory capability among them.
No word yet on a release outside of Korea (assuming it sells well, it should be available in other parts of the world), but in that part of Asia it will retail at around 800,000 Korean Won (which roughly translates to about $600 USD), which isn’t cheap no matter where you are.
