The Samsung i8510. Nokia N96, C905 killer?

Rumours rumours everywhere. This time its Samsung. If initial reports are true, Samsung is readying the big momma of all Series 60 phones. This one - christened the i8510, boasts of an impressive spec list that may make the likes of the N96 cringe and turn in their graves – even before release.

So whats the big deal?

To start with, there is the 8 Megapixel camera (reportedly, the same unit as the Sony Ericsson –C905 –Shiho), Other features :


• A 2.8-inch QVGA (240×320 pixels) screen displaying 16 million colours
•120 fps (QVGA) video recording. (Note: These are not the final specs – so that might go up to VGA)
•UMTS with HSDPA support, WiFi, GPS, TV out, DivX support, dedicated 3D graphics chip.
•Optical mouse (Similar to as i780 and i900 Omnia)
•1200 mAh battery.
•106.5×53.9×16.9 mm metal case
•16 GB internal memory – probably an 8GB version is expected too.



If the above specs are true, the N96 seems to be outdated even before launch. As for the Sony Ericsson C905, a direct comparison would be unjust as the latter is not a smartphone. No word on face detection on the Samsung though.

Now, lets wait and watch what Nokia has for an answer! This is getting interesting day by day!
