Is Sony Ericsson integrating an optical zoom lens into its cyber-shot? A chinese website has posted a phone casing of the cyber-shot branded Sony Ericsson mobile phone. The back of the phone casing is showing a camera protection case with 3x optical zoom wording printed on it.
While implementing a 3x optical zoom on a mobile phone is not a new invention, this phone casing seems to be too slim to fit in the 3x optical zoom lens. :s12:

Why? You really think SE's going to release a phone in K800's body again?

Open you eyes. It's not a K800 body. It could look like it, but it's not.

That is NOT a photoshop guys! I think everybody can see this. If it would have been somehow faked then it was rendered in a 3d program. The shades and everything are too good for a regular photoshop but a real good pro might do it to. Still, I highly doubt that a photoshop and I remember somebody saying on the other thread that this was a canceled model.
Posted by Sobo
the phone casing it's real but 3x optical zoom is made in ps or another program...
Posted by xell
I think nobody thinks the casing is a photoshop, only the "3x optical zoom" & maybe the "Cybershot", hence the artifacts.

I wouldnt say thats a photoshop either. If you look closely the blurry/pixelated areas occur only on white or very bright spots of the picture. That happens mostly when you compress the picture too much. Since the casing is in mostly one color or few almost same colors it seems smoother than the rest of it.
BTW I think there is a samsung 5mp phone with optical zoom fitted in a small space, sort of like this casing

Fake??.....
not at all .
those pixels around the 3x optical zoom are the result of the jpeg compression...
it may be from a cancelled model intended to be k850 or k860.
but as i seen a catalouge in a picture in this forum which shows the SE intentions for the future. it clearly says:
new optical zoom techniqes
camcorder
more mega pixels and much more
so at least the slim optical zoom camera phone definitly exist and could be announced in near future.

@chombos1
You're right. It's just JPEG compression - obvious signs of it.
And anyway, it's already been confirmed as cancelled:
* Severine (Bremond)
Has a 3x optical zoom. Similar specifications to the K850.
Cancelled due to the delay in the release of the K850.

Well, it's definitely not a photoshop. As shaliron says it's a canceled unit.

now SE is really starting 2 piss me off, if wat sharilon says is true, that they canceled it cause the k850 was delayed then SE is just shooting themselves in the foot. now i hope the p5 has the rumored specs cause its the only way i think that SE will be able 2 prove themselvs again

Plankgatan's source has said earlier that there is a development ongoing already for K850' successor. and it seems like the rumored specs are 7.2mp sensor and an optical zoom lens

It's a k850i front...
Posted by Muhammad-Oli
Its not a K850i front. It is far too square. See:
The K850i is a lot rounder on the top and bottom.
If you ask me, I think this phone case looks like the "K860i" in this image:
Compare for yourselves.
Yes, I know that the 3rd image is obviously a very cheap photoshop or MS Paint image and it is widely considered a fake. But maybe the person who drew it was making quick drawings on their computer to show what these phones are going to look like? Perhaps they had seen future SE prototypes and designs? The "K860i" drawing, as they have named it, does really look like the case image shown in this thread.
You guys are about to prove me wrong though!

Plus it's not glossy.
Posted by Muhammad-Oli
Yep, that too.
@Leks You say you have a K850i in your signature!
Posted by driftmania
They were probably just looking at the keypad area and the d-pad which is exactly the same as the K850's.
Posted by darrengf
From what i understand, there may be anoucement some time in Feb 2008 for the replacement of the K85.i. However when they anounce it it wont hit the shops for a further 6 months. So you will get at least a good year of the K850i yet.
The replacement i would think will be possible 7mb with optical zoom as SE have just released a optical zoom phone in Japan last month and we are normaly about 1 year behind japan with phones.
Posted by Muhammad-Oli
The keypad area is not exactly the same. The K850i is one solid piece around all the buttons, while the case we see in these pictures has another piece of plastic which surrounds the D-pad and screen.
Posted by Zzzyzx
I guess we expect the successor to k850 to have optical zoom. It better have that or SE's competition leaves them years behind.
I see it this way:
K750 = K850
from 2 MP it is upgraded to 3.2 MP with xenon flash
K800 = ????
5 MP = 7 MP with 3x optical zoom
Posted by Charlieef
What is 3x optical zoom when nikoas N98 comes witch 5x in a smartphone koncept. I think the spec on P5 must be more like Noka N98, otherwise SE will get even more behind.
Posted by chombos1
@charlieef
Nokia N98 is just a concept...
besides.. even fitting a 3x optical is hard to put into a candybar
forget about the 5x...
and slim optical zoom is a sony invention as you can see in most of their cybershot t-series and the newly announced SO905ics for japan.
Posted by Muhammad-Oli
I don't believe 5x is necessary. I mean, most proper digital cameras these days still have limited optical zoom. A lot of them just have 3x optical zoom. I don't believe the race to have the best camera in a mobile phone is going to go so far that mobile phones will have cameras to rival digital SLR cameras.
I honestly think 3x is easily enough and any more is over-doing it. If you need more than that, you really should look for a professional photography device rather than a mobile phone.

I'd love to see something from SE like a N93i. That thing's got killer looks.

yeah, its a good designed phone with very good features
But the reason i didnt buy it was it was too big
Posted by chombos1
(according to a picture earlier) if they are considering new optical zoom techniques then we will rather see a candy bar... maybe K900i with all of those brilliant capabilties of the japanes SO905ics.

Just Put a sony CCD and an optical zoom lens architecture similar to cyber-shot T7 on K850 successor and that's enough to make us restless as kids waiting for christmas!
