Rounding up S60's future? - the Samsung i450

Published by Steve Litchfield at 9:54 BST, May 22nd 2008

In the third part of his review of the Samsung i450, Ewan reckons that devices like this are key to the future of S60 - with the technology becoming both less visible and incumbent in low to mid-tier phones. He also looks at the standard application set and at third party application compatibility.

The big addition that Samsung have made is a built in video editor – which is an interesting choice given the relatively poor quality of the camera. ... on the i450, which has a 2 megapixel camera.
Erm... 2 megapixel is the still resolution, what's the resolution of the actual video though?

I doubt Ewan tested this in too much detail. From my own Smartphones Show review, it's 352 by 288 pixels, not too shabby, but still perhaps overkill to have a full video editor....

Aha, okay!

It's still pretty good for use on the web, it's higher resolution than the default settings on YouTube.

I could just about imagine someone videoing themselves at an event, editing it on the phone and then uploading it to YouTube or wherever (though they'd have to make sure they had reasonable data charges of course).

But that would be a fairly niche activity of course...

Yes, totally. And see my post in the Nokia Linux story for more on this...

Video editor is certainly feature rich, especially considering some other things are totally missing, such as an image editor. Anyway, in the next revision of products, we will address both concerns, the video editor will become simpler to use, and we'll have image editors, too. Making S60 devices sure is a steep learning curve~!

Does this mean smartmovie etc work on the phone just like the N series?
