Samsung G810 has been recently awarded by the European Imaging and Sound Association (EISA) as the “European photo phone”.

Samsung G810 (or SGH-G810) was first announced and presented during MWC 2008 in Barcelona, Spain (11 – 14 February).

The G810 packs a 5 Megapixel camera with 3x optical zoom, VGA video recording, autofocus and xenon flash, to provide a picture quality that few other mobile phone cameras can.

The EISA description for the Samsung G810 says, “Only a few years ago the SGH-810’s features would have been unimaginable on anything but a high-spec camera. It offers 5 Megapixel resolution from its CMOS sensor, and protects its optical 3x zoom lens with a sliding cover. Image quality is surprisingly good in bright light, while in low-light conditions the xenon flash is a real bonus. Numerous camera-style photo functions include auto focus with face detection, panoramic mode, macro capabilities, multi-shot mode, digital image stabilization and red-eye reduction. Plus the SGH-810 device also includes Wi-Fi connectivity, GPS Geo-tagging, USB, an earphone socket and a slot for microSD memory cards. Best of all, it manages to look at once both elegant and robust.”
