Samsung’s Hi-Def Cameraphone

Samsung’s new Omnia HD continues the South Korean company’s quest to shoehorn big things into small boxes. Following rumors of an ill-conceived 12MP cameraphone comes this oversized handset which is capable of both recording and playing back 720p video.

Seen above is a snap of the phone in action, shooting its bolt in excitement. But you’re not limited to the built-in screen — the Omni HD can play movies back in full 720p on an HDTV. The catch is that you can only do it via Wi-Fi.

The camera will also shoot 8MP stills (of course — it’s a Samsung), the big screen is actually 3.7″ big, video codecs include DivX, XviD, H.263, H.264, WMV (why?) and MPEG4, there is built in GPS, a compass, an accelerometer and a couple of stereo speakers. Price is as yet unknown, but be assured that this phone does just about everything it’s possible for a phone to do.
