Samsung SGH-G800 ... The Samsung G800 is the answer for customers' needs to have the perfect digital camera and the perfect multimedia mobile combined into one single device. For example, optical zoom is very common in most digital cameras, but the Samsung G800 is the first and only 5 megapixel camera phone to have this capability. Features such as face detection, and Wide Dynamic Range (WDR), which are very up-to-date features even in today's digital cameras, are also equipped in the new G800.

The Samsung G800 helps its owners to capture fragments of their lives vividly and to express themselves beyond words. With the Samsung G800, users can store their lives in perfect detail at every moment. It is the smartest match for digital photo fans who aspire to own the best possible digital camera features on their mobile phone. Boasting 3x optical zoom and Xenon flash to enable close-ups and exceptional photo detail, the G800 also comes with other most up-to-date digital camera features such as panorama shots, multi shots and macro shots.

Not only just taking pictures, the G800 also provides a very easy tool for sharing images and videos. Plus, the Samsung G800 offers professional video editing functions so that people can easily cut, paste, and edit their own films. A mobile blogging feature helps users to upload their favorite User Created Contents (UCC) site very easily. Supporting High Speed Downlink Packet Access (HSDPA), the photos or videos can be sent to others very quickly.

The G800 has a new camera Graphical User Interface (GUI), which is intuitive and simple to use so that the user experiences the same environment as a digital camera when using the camera function on the phone. An On Screen Display (OSD) shows various camera indicators in a horizontal preview mode.

A sleek camera phone, the G800 looks like a streamlined digital camera on one side and a fashionable mobile phone on the other side. Elegantly equipped with multimedia features, the G800 still has a sophisticated design. It is designed for the two handed grip when taking pictures. The large 2.4" QVGA LCD with a wide display allows users to view the screen like a digital camera. The 3x optical zoom is an inner zoom, where the lens does not extend outside the body of the phone, ensuring a slimmer design.

Something else I found was that when browsing the internet and trying to log into different websites, there is no where you can get an underscore which meant I was unable to go on nearly every website I wanted to. So if you have usernames or email addresses with underscores then I wouldn't recommend this mobile for mobile use. Saying that, the format of the phone is easy to use without too many difficulties. It took some time to get to know how to use all the features but once I di...more

Premium Review Samsung SGH-G800: Bringing Chunky Back (339 words)
by - written on 04/10/08 (Very useful, 85 readings)
Rating:

When I recieved my Samsung SGH-G800 I did think to myself, its just a little bit chunky, however the phone maintains the high standard of style we expect from Samsung and the 5 megapixel camera does make up for this. Before I ordered the phone I had checked up on it and noted that it is the first mobile to include optical zoom rather then digital zoom. Making picture quality better and closer to what we expect from a digital camera. The only problem is that in order to take perfect pictures you have to adjust all the settings on the phone and for someone who doesnt have a clue and just wants to take a quick snap this phone is not going to be too helpful for ...  Read the complete review

The Samsung G800 is the mobile phone I decided to opt for when renewing my contract last year. Although the phone itself is quite large compared to newer models out nowadays, I picked this one as it is advertised as 'The Photographer's Choice', meaning that it has a good camera on it. Other benefits of this model include easy use, due to the slide up action it has, and I have also found that the internet is extremely useful and easy to use (although on my contract it costs a hell of a lot!) The camera itself is 5.0 megapixels, and provides clear pictues, with an optional anti-jog function. Video's can also be recorded at good ...  Read the complete review

Premium Review Samsung SGH-G800: A good Samsung just with a few buts!! (269 words)
by - written on 04/07/09 (Useful, 8 readings)

I had this mobile on contract and was impressed to begin with as there is a vast amount of features. However, in pictures the handset itself looks slimmer than it actually is. I was surprised at how big and bulky it was. The screen is a fantastic size, great for when browsing the internet, taking photos or texting. One problem I have found with the camera and flash on this handset is that when I had the flash on, it would take the photo once the flash had gone off so the pictures were always dark. Whereas with other phones the flash stays on throughout the duration of taking a photo, this Samsung's flash flashes but not in time with the moment you capture the photo. ...  Read the complete review

Premium Review Great all rounder with lots of features (178 words)

I've had this phone for a good few months now and am massively impressed with it. It has a fantastic screen and is very functional. Although it doesn't come uploaded with many ringtones or games, you get credits to use on the Samsung Website to download your own for free which is a great idea. The internet is 3g+ and is actually quicker than my home broadband connection which with the excellent screen makes this a great web surfing phone! The camera is generally excellent in daylight, but in dark conditions it is often too dark and the flash is next to useless unless you are right on top of whatever you are taking a picture of. Also, the battery isn't amazing either. ...  Read the complete review

I had been looking for a new phone for a contract and went with this phone. I chose it because it had a 5 megapixal camera and advertised as the phtographers choice. When it arrived I did think it was a bit chunky but i think it adds o the character of the phone. The phone is also very robust and has been able to stand being dropped and getting wet. The camera is really easy to use and the zoom is amazing. The pictures i have taken are of excellent quality and the bluetooth on the phone is really useful to link the pictures. The keypad is really easy to use and you can tect really quick on there. I also think the setup menu and settings are easy to change however ...  Read the complete review
