Altek announced a first ever phone with 14MP optical zoom enabled Android smartphone which will hit Europe soon. The Altek Leo is a 3.5G Android Phone with 14MP Camera. Altek are a Taiwanese corporation that develops digital camera products and technology. Altek Leo is the first smartphone to offer a 14MP camera with 3x optical zoom and HD video recording. 


There are also a xenon flash and a LED video light on board, which makes the handset a must for everyone hoping to leave their digicam at home in favor of their cell phone. The handset comes with a 3.2-inch WVGA multi-touch display and runs Android 2.1 (Eclair). Connectivity is taken care for by Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and GPS, as well as full range of network data transfer options (GSM/GPRS/EDGE and 3G with HSPA). Built-in accelerometer, digital compass a microSD card slot complete the list of the Altek Leo extras.


You can Enjoy high-speed broadband connections via 5.76mbps HSUPA or 7.2mbps HSDPA. The device also provides built in GPS, accelerometer, digital compass and handwriting recognition. It will support most major audio and video formats and the internal memory is expandable up to 32GB via microSD card. 


JS Liang, Altek vice president and head of R&D said, "The challenge facing Altek’s design team was how to integrate a fully functioning 14-megapixal camera with 3x optical lens while maintaining Leo’s smart phone form factor. An optical lens requires precision moving parts and mechanisms that ensure the device functions properly, but it also has to be attractive and easy to use. We achieved this without compromising Leo’s look and feel.” 

The Altek Leo will hit European shelves in Q1 of 2011 but not information about its pricing.
