Introduction:
The Spice S-1200 is the foremost mobile phone in India with an optical zoom device. Equipped with a 12 megapixel CCD sensor, xenon flash, numerous face recognition and VGA video recording, the S-1200 assures to be simple a camera phone. So, now it’s time to check how useful this camera mobile is and further prominently, how good it is as just a phone.
Design:
If we look it from the front side, the S-1200 appears just like other mobile phone. This phone is equipped with 2.4" TFT display with the earphone above it. Beneath it is a slightly cramped keypad with 23 keys crowded in space as big as a matchbox. The buttons are pretty tiny and there is a light possibility you might finish up pressing something completely dissimilar than the one you planned, especially if you have huge thumbs.
Though, we turn it around, we’ll realize that its not just a ordinary mobile phone. That vast camera lens means big business and the S-1200 is the very first device in Indian Market that is equipped with optical zoom. The lens chains 3x optical zoom with a crucial length of 35mm to 105mm. Because the mobile has optical zoom we would have favored a broad angle lens.
By the side of the zoom, the Spice S-1200 is even one of the few mobiles with 12 megapixel sensor, not that it s a huge transaction. We have strained that the number of megapixels doesn’t matters; it's the excellence and dimension of sensor together with the image processing algorithm that concludes the image superiority. The device makes use of CCD sensor, thatwas known for its higher image quality earlier over CMOS sensors. Though, at the moment all mobile phone cameras and high-end dSLR cameras employ CMOS because of their minor power utilization over CCD sensors and image superiority that is now on balance with that of CCD.
The S-1200 is also equipped with auto-focus. It also allows you to adjust the focus yourself from settings. Spice says that the S-1200 has picture stabilization but they fall short to elucidate whether it is optical or digital. A xenon flash is luckily offerd and does the responsibility of providing enlightenment at hours of darkness.
Now if we see on the sides of the device, we found that the volume keys are situated on the right, and it is also used as the zoom keys when you are in camera mode, together with the camera mode button, which make active the camera as well as soon as pushed and held in brief. In addition, observation is the camera shutter switch that is quite large and user-friendly.
The Spice S-1200 is a large and massive phone. That is fairly comprehensible in view of the camera hardware on board, however I feel that Spice could have ended up with it as a lighter phone. It's also significantly thicker than a large amount of phones we see nowadays, but that is totally comprehensible. As much as the design is worried, the device seems very uninteresting and even though it doesn't precisely look inexpensive, it not has complexity in the design.
