F-06B mobile phone killer compact cameras

As is customary in Japan, the phone operator sells under its own brand. In the case of the F-06B - company NTT DoCoMo. But the real credit for the creation of this unique phone belongs to another Japanese company - Fujitsu. After all, its engineers have developed and launched a series of cell phone F-06B.

So, let us consider the characteristics and capabilities F-06B. The most interesting thing here - the camera. Resolution of the matrix is 13.2 megapixels, and it records video in resolving FullHD. And this despite the fact that the top-end smartphones and phone-based shooting photos and videos that are so proud of the producers, the cameras are 8-megapixel cameras, and videos of such quality they can not boast.


But the Japanese alone revolutionary camera phone was not enough. They decided to further equip the F-06B waterproof housing. And this is not the conventional water-resistant shell that protects the most out of the rain. With F-06B can easily dive and take pictures or shoot video, at a depth of four feet with a sensitivity of up to 25 600 units of ISO.

Other product lines developed by the brand power supplies and laptop computers, will be maintained.

"After eight years ago to provide innovative graphics and quality to the market, we regret to say that this product is no longer profitable for us," said in a statement John Slevin, president of BFG Technologies.

BFG, which graphics cards were only distributed in France, has rapidly developed its brand image, particularly among public players, offering customized templates, guarantees a very long time, and some commercial operations rebranded. In late 2008, the brand had such offered free replacement of an AGP graphics card with its equivalent in PCI-Express.

It remains to know the reasons for the failure to return raised by the firm. Frequent delays Fermi architecture, the low availability of chips and the margins provided by NVIDIA partners there are probably not unrelated. The rumor that BFG could switch on the side of AMD cards / ATI - as did XFX early 2009 - had also been mentioned several times in recent weeks.
