The multimedia device is designed for users who want to take pictures and features an 8 megapixel still camera with an ISO up to 1600, manual focus, a Xeon flash (usually only found in stand-alone cameras) and basic photo editing software built right into the cameras interface. Video can be recorded on the phone at a rate of 120 frames per second, and photo and video content can be uploaded directly from the handset via 3G cellular networks or WiFi. The device also features an aGPS receiver and can geotag photos. Completing the multimedia experience, the Renoir is the first handset created for the worldwide market to include Dolby Mobile for audio. The device will be available in Europe starting in October, with a worldwide release expected to follow.
