Altek Leo Announced For Europe, Pairs Android With 14MP Camera
We’ve long gone past fawning on pure hardware specs when it comes to smartphones. Still, it’s tough not to feel just a little excited about something like the Altek Leo, an Android phone armed with a 14-megapixel camera module.
If you’re not familiar with the company, they specialize in digital camera products and technology. In fact, Altek claims they are currently the world’s number one original design manufacturers (ODM) of digital cameras. Suffice to say, they’d like to pimp the fact that their phone will have a really, really good set of optics, boasting 3X optical zoom, HD video recording, Xenon Flash and LED video light, along with the extremely high resolution.
Details of the Altek Leo include a 3.2-inch touchscreen display (480 x 800), aGPS, 3G with HSPA, WiFi, Bluetooth and microSD card expansion (up to 32GB). It will run Android 2.1 at the helm and come pre-installed with a specialized software suite designed for photo editing.
No word on processor or RAM, so this might very well be a dud with a really good camera. Altek appears to be priming it as a “high-end smartphone,” though, so we’re hoping it’s packing some serious processing power. The Taiwanese company is looking at the first quarter of 2011 to bring the Leo to European shelves. No word on pricing.
