Samsung has officially unveiled the HD Omnia, a smartphone running Symbian able to record video footage in 720p!

While the first Omnia runs on Windows Mobile, Samsung changes its tune and decided to move to the S60 v5 interface, the Touch and the Symbian OS. A real nose up at Microsoft as the smartphone is attractive on paper.

Indeed, in addition to the more comprehensive, it is the ability to record videos in 1280 × 720 pixels that holds our attention, videos that can be directly using the software.

For the rest it will be a GSM / GPRS / EDGE and HSDPA integrated WiFi and Bluetooth 2.0 stereo AMOLED screen of 3.7 inches offering a resolution of 360 x 640 pixels 16 million colors, an 8 megapixel AON with autofocus, LED flash, face detection and recognition of smiles and eyes closed, a chip GPS with A-GPS, an internal memory of 8 or 16GB and SDHC card reader.

Videos later, also recording in HD, it will bear reading formats DivX/XviD/H.263/H.264/WMV/MPEC4/Real.

We just have to know the price and it is hoped also that gun sounds.
