Camera
Five megapixels, autofocus, face recognition, smile detector. These are the main features of the camera, which seemed to be good, as there is a LED flash on the back of the phone. In terms of the software we can only say positive things, we have never seen such a user interface in any previous Samsung. At the fullscreen viewfinder the designers were brave enough to put icons so large for the settings menu that can be hit with fingers. In turn this interface covers almost the whole picture. But it’s good this way.
There is a huge number of settings in the software. Picture size, quality, ISO, white balance, flash, effects can all be set, we can make panoramic pictures (it uses three or four VGA resolution pictures for the final result), image sequencing is also available, along with face recognition that works pretty good and there is a timer and software-based picture stabilizer. The smile detector had no results for me, the point of which would be that F480 exposes when it observes a smile. I’ve been almost grinning, but in vain. A denture might help, or a couple of weeks of intensive solarium, as my teeth might not be shiny enough.
Before analyzing the results (pictured below), I must mention that F480 can also record videos at 320 x 240 pixels, and I have been expecting something better, to tell the truth, as the phone’s greatest rival, LG KU990, can do more than this.

When taking a look at the pictures we can be quite content: F480’s camera is not at all bad in mobile terms. Of course noisiness is observable in darker areas, while bright spots might get burned out in some cases, but on the whole we can be satisfied with the results, as we get pictures rich in details that even have pretty good dynamics in some cases.
Picture viewing is also done in a professional way, as we can browse the pictures ,selected in the file manager, similar to the iPhone, while touching the upper part of the screen, then three thumbnails appear, so browsing is faster. The display can be rotated at the press of a button.
