Samsung Electronics has set the camera phone bar higher by developing the world¡¯s first 7-megapixel camera phone. The world¡¯s No. 3 handset maker announced Wednesday it is unveiling its new SCH-V770 phone at the 2005 CeBIT expo that runs in Hannover, Germany from March 10 to 16. The announcement comes only six months after it released the world¡¯s first 5-megapixel camera phone last October.

Korea¡¯s leading electronics company stressed the phone could stand comparison with high-end digital cameras.
The phone has 3x optical and 5x digital zooms and auto-focus. Unlike existing camera phones with low-luminosity flashes, it is also equipped with an advanced flash as bright as any high-quality digital camera's. The embedded digital power amplifier enables the phone to produce clear stereo sound and the display uses the 16 million color QVGA TFD-LCD (Thin Film Diode-Liquid Crystal Display) technology to produce a clear image.
