A phone which was just a rumor few days back has got its official status. Samsung i850 which has been renamed as INNOV8 will give SE’s 8 megapixel offering a run for its money. INNOV8 will run on Series 60 and is powerpacked with features. Starting with its mammoth 8 megapixel sensor, autofocus and other advanced features like face recognition, smile recognition and so on. Its bad that Samsung missed out to put Xenon flash but to compensate they have included dual LED flash. The phone will come in storage options of 8GB or 16GB but if you would like some more space, it can be done via microSD cards. Other exciting things to be included are 2.8-inch screen supporting 16M colors, DivX support, Wi-Fi, A-GPS, 3D accelerator for gaming, DNSe 2.0 for enhanced music experience, Bluetooth, accelerometer, FM Radio and DLNA certification.

The phone supports quad band networks and will hit the European market next month.

It really surprises me that how can Chinese produce powerpacked phones at such a low cost. The obvious question comes to my mind is when they can why can’t branded manufacturers? But then I guess with low price comes high risk, the risk of radiations which stops me to use these phones. But if you’re not finicky like me, the unbranded X908 will definitely amaze you. Just like most of the Chinese phones, this one also packs dual-SIM support with other things like a 3-inch QVGA touchscreen display, FM Radio, TV support and Bluetooth with A2DP. Of course, the main feature isn’t highlighted yet which is its 8 megapixel sensor with 3X optical zoom and 2 megapixel camera sticks on the front. NES emulator is also pre-installed in the phone just in case you want to revive the olden days.

Just do an import if you like it.

Sagem is not a strong competitor in India but they are fighting for the share in the lucrative market. This time they come out with Bleu 466X which has Ramayana pre-loaded in the phone. The phone comes with Ramayana wallpapers, a 1hour 15minutes video of orignal Ramayana, more than 2 hours of songs, shlokas from Ramayana, animations and Hanuman Chalisa. The phone if marketed correctly can see a sales surge as India is a country of Gods and people tend to give in when it comes to religion. Specifications are nothing much to boast about but it has got a music player, FM Radio, VGA camera, Bluetooth and a bundled 512MB card. It will retail for Rs. 4,199 ($98).
