Samsung Pixon 12. Big feet don’t impress all the ladies

Imagine the scene: Cristiano Ronaldo steps up to that makeshift podium in the middle of Real Madrid’s stadium the other day, takes the microphone, and starts to tell the world how he is the greatest football player ever, how he is going to win the Champions League single-handedly, how he is worth every one of the many, many pennies they’ve spent on them and, this would be the interesting bit: he said he owes all his footballing prowess to the fact that he has really big feet…

It would seem a little odd, wouldn’t it. Him claiming that just because he has bigger feet than anyone else, it means he’s better at football than us all. And, odd as it sounds, that’s just what’s happening here with the Pixon 12. Because although the Samsung Pixon 12 is going to be an industry first – the first phone ever to be released with a 12 megapixel camera onboard, that doesn’t actually mean the camera’s going to be any good. The only thing it guarantees, in fact, is that the file sizes will be monstrously big (up to 18MB in some cases). We could go into the science of this but you’d be asleep faster than a reporter having to listen to what Ronaldo did actually say the other day, but trust us: more megapixels most definitely do not = better pictures. That’s not to say a camera with 1MP could be as good as a camera with 12MP, of course, but the key is to find the balance, to use the right amount of megapixels for the job. And something nagging inside us is screaming that 12MP is a whole bag full of too much for the tiny lens/receptor that this thing is carrying. Oh, and with the stupendous 150MB of onboard memory with the Samsung Pixon 12, you might also need to be upgrading after, oh, your first 8 pictures or so.

Anyway, check out this full Samsung Pixon 12 review for more specs, less diatribe, and have a look at this little video below too.
