What is it: 5-megapixel camera phone with xenon flash and 3x optical zoom
What we think: It's not as slim as the U700 but this phone packs an excellent camera

We like:
5-megapixel camera with autofocus; 3x optical zoom and face detection; HSDPA
We don't like:
Lack of Wi-Fi, xenon flash isn't as bright as we expected
CNET.co.uk judgement:
This chunky mobile snapper is an attractive slider phone that, although large, is easy to hold and use. The G800's camera comes with all the bells and whistles you'd expect from a standalone digital camera but it's not a complete replacement just yet. The xenon flash just isn't as bright as we'd hoped for and unless you're standing close to the subject it doesn't illuminate the scene that well

Is it a phone? Is it a camera? The Samsung G800 blurs the line, but does this handset have enough megapixel might to replace your dedicated snapper?
