Samsung unveils slimmest ever 8mp camera phone

Samsung has released a taster of its second 8mp camera phone, the Pixon, which will be available in the UK from the end of October. 

The release is likely to irritate LG, which recently claimed the title of slimmest eight-megapixel camera phone. At only 13.8mm thick, the Pixon shaves off 0.15mm off the LG KC910. Like its LG competitor, the Pixon also sports a large touch-screen.

The device will be formally unveiled on Monday. 

Here is the full Samsung Pixon spec list:

Eight-megapixel camera with auto-focus
