When Phones Were Fun: MrMobile's First Cameraphone (2003)

Опубликовано 20 июня 2020, 14:30

It’s not the world’s first camera phone, or Sprint’s, or even Samsung’s – but the Samsung SPH-A600 was the first camera phone that made taking pictures feel almost as natural as with a point-and-shoot, by using bleeding-edge design that still makes sense seventeen years later. 

The year is 2003, and the Samsung SPH-A600 just became MrMobile’s first camera phone, back in the days when phones … were fun!
