Casio intros handset with 8.1MP camera, 3.1-inch OLED

Electronista: Casio, in conjunction with KDDI AU, announced the upcoming release of the EXIFILM-series W63CA flip phone that features one of the most advanced cameras in the industry, with an 8.1-megapixel camera carrying a nine-point autofocus and a wide-angle mode.

The CDMA handset also sports a 3.1-inch, 480×800 OLED screen that rotates in the same fashion as a tablet PC’s screen and can be left facing outside.

The camera also has built-in face detection tech, along with anti-shake, and a YouTube mode that records VGA video at 30fps to a microSD card. The recorded video or captured photos can also be output to a TV via a connection, though the required cable is sold separately.
