The first 14-megapixel smartphone is now here for all phone geeks out there. Yup, that’s a big 14 megapixel, friends! Next month, Altek is launching the Altek Leo at the CommunicAsia (CMMA) in Singapore.
The Leo packs all the wonders of a cam phone, and more! Other than that mind-boggling 14 figure, this new Altek innovation boasts of other features as well. One is HD video recording (720p HD), another is 3x optical zoom, and yet another is a combination of Xenon and LED flash. And, after you’ve taken all those shots, you can share and upload them instantly with the phone’s Wi-Fi and 3G connectivity with HSDPA support. The Leo can be operated via a touch screen panel. And although there’s no mention about the OS in which it is running, it’s most probably Android if we’re to based on the keys below the touch screen.
Right now, the top camera phones in the market in terms of megapixel are those with 12 megapixels. Altek has one such phone, together with Samsung and Sony. But when the Leo is officially launched next month, it will occupy the top, and the first, and will likely be a challenge to other manufacturers of cam phones.
According to Altek CEO Alex Hsia, “Leo plugs users into a wireless world of excitement and fun. Its high end digital camera and video functions means Leo users need never again let a special moment pass by unrecorded.†Watch out for the CommunicAsia next month to get further details about the Astek Leo.
