8MP Samsung Memoir Appears on T-Mobile

T-Mobile will carry Samsung's first 8-megapixel shooter made specifically for the States.

Though rumors of a 12-megapixel camera phone from Samsung have yet to come to fruition, the company did meet rumormongers halfway Thursday morning by pulling the sheet off its already-leaked Memoir. T-Mobile officially announced the new phone in a recent press release.

Much like the company’s camera phones in other countries, the SGH-t929 boasts a full 8-megapixel camera for snapping high-resolution still pictures, which is accompanied by a Xenon flash, 16x digital zoom, and five different shooting modes.

Other features include a A-GPS, 3G connectivity, and the ability to upload pictures taken with the camera directly to photo sharing sites like flickr, Kodak Gallery and Photobucket.

T-Mobile has not yet pegged the Memoir with a price, but it should be available within the month.
