14-Megapixel Smartphone Coming Next Month?

In the past cell phones haven’t always had very powerful cameras. Sony Ericsson introduced the Satio, which was a pretty good phone with a 12-megapixel camera. But now Altek is teasing us with their new “Leo” model, which apparently has a 14-megapixel camera on the back. Alex Hsia stated in the company’s press release, “Picture taking has already risen to become one of the most important mobile phone functions for consumers."

Phones able to capture high definition, high quality images and video are a win‐win for users, as well as telecommunication service providers. The camera also has the ability to capture 720p video. The phone will officially be released next month at the CommunicAsia show in Singapore. But since this phone is still a phone, it has your typical smartphone features: Wi-Fi and HSDPA. Engadget speculated the phone will most likely be running Android OS, however version information has not yet been released. Pricing information hasn't been announced either, but as the CommunicAsia rolls out, we most likely will hear more information on this monster of a smartphone.
