Samsung's got a thing for camera phones: it once released the world's first 10-megapixel camera phone. What's Samsung up to now? An 8-megapixel camera module.

Hold on, isn't that a step back? Not so. This new camera module is only 8.5 millimeters wide. The size makes up for the decrease in megapixels.

Don't let the cramped size fool you, though: the module is jam packed with features such as anti-shake, face tracking technology, and a smile shutter that takes a picture as soon as it sees you show off your pearly whites.

Samsung claims that the anorexic camera phone module is the thinnest one of its kind. We'll be seeing phones equipped with this little baby sometime in the second half of the year.
