KDDI launches Hitachi Hi-Vision Cam Wooo – 720p video phone
Electronista hints that KDDI is all geared up with its latest launch, Hitachi Hi-Vision Cam Wooo. It’s not a camera but a video-capable phone that promises to take the phoning and camera features to the next level of enhancement. Moreover, the Japan-based network operator also introduced its summer 2009 roster of 13 mobile phones.
Talking about the video handset, it boasts the ability to record videos of 1280 x 720 pixels and deliver them at a maximum 30 frames per second. It features a 5-megapixel camera with 3X optical zoom, autofocus and image stabilization. The 720p video capture capability is possible at a relatively high 9Mbps bitrate. The phone claims to handle up to an hour of continuous shooting.
The Hitachi Hi-Vision Cam Wooo has an HDMI output and a microSDHC slot to store up to 2 hours of video (at maximum quality) on an 8GB external card.
Apart from that, the video phone is a 3G flip device that reveals a 3-inch display (854×480), enabling users to view 480p at native resolution. In addition to video playback, the handset allows users to access music playback for enhanced entertainment experience. All the multimedia content can be stored on a built-in 500MB of memory and an external microSD card.
Although the price is not clear, the Hitachi Hi-Vision Cam Wooo is expected to reach the Japanese market on June 24, 2009 through KDDI.
