If you are familiar with the highest quality a camera can produce when taking a picture is 10 megapixel, beyond that the details are not visible. However, Samsung is planning to release a 12 megapixel camera phone.

I’ve talked to many professional photographers their opinions on a 12 megapixel camera differ. Some say that 12 megapixels are useless for a camera phone or for any camera at all because the user will not be able to make the difference between a picture shot with a 10 megapixel camera or a 12 megapixel. Others say the contrary; a 12 megapixel camera is revolutionary for the mobile phone industry.

I’m not a professional photographer and I must say that I agree with the first, yet in the same time I like the idea of a 12 megapixel camera phone.

Anyway, Samsung was the first mobile phone manufacturer that released an 8 megapixel camera phone and according to the latest news on the Internet, the Korean company intends to release a 12 megapixel camera phone.

The phone is said to be announced at the World Mobile Congress in Barcelona, Spain. Until then we do not hold any information on the phone’s specs, price or availability.
