Sony Ericsson C905 8.1-Megapixel Cybershot Phone Gets Official Specs

So the rumors have been indeed true, the new Sony Ericsson C905 will indeed boast an 8.1 Megapixel camera and were going to go ahead and say, thats an industry first. Top that iPhone with your 2 Mexapixels (although we will be the firs to admit that Pixel count dosent mean shit and lens and chip does but with that in mind, there is a huge diff. between a 8.1 and a 2 Megapixel count).

But if you thought that it ended with just a high pixel count, then you don’t know Sony as the phone also features Xenon flash, auto face detection and image stabilization and a nice zoom. (Ok, now we can look at the iPhone and say wtf). But Sony didn’t stop there either. The C905 also boasts:

• Quad-band GSM (9-hours talk / 380 hours standby)
• Tri-band UMTS/HSDPA 850/1900/2100
• Auto-rotating, 2.4-inch scratch-resistant QVGA display
• aGPS with Google Maps
• A2DP stereo Bluetooth
• TV-out
• 2GB of included Memory Stick Micro (M2)

Look for a global launch of Q4

Singapore, 17 June 2008 – The C905 is Sony Ericsson’s first Cyber-shot slider and its most advanced camera phone yet. With an 8.1 megapixel camera and real camera flash amongst its cutting-edge capabilities, it offers easy photo-taking in a phone that derives its looks from a digital camera and offers the picture quality to match. In comparison the S302 Snapshot is for those who want it all at an affordable price – good looks, must-have features and a pocket-sized slim design.

“The C905 Cyber-shot™ and S302 Snapshot have been developed to make us all better photographers! That means making it easier to take great shots and never missing that magic moment.” said Sven Totté, Head of Imaging Marketing at Sony Ericsson. “Although both have photography at their core, the phones are very distinct; the 8.1megapixel C905 is a viable alternative to a digital camera and the S302 is perfect for those who don’t want to miss a moment and like to send or Bluetooth™ their photos to their friends.”
