Korea's Samsung Electronics plans to introduce its first camcorder mobile phone capable of recording and storing up to 20 minutes of multimedia clips.

The company, however, has yet to determine pricing and availability details, a Samsung spokesman said.

He also could not reveal the maximum storage capacity for the video files.

According to the company, the Samsung SCH-V310 will have an integrated 300,000 pixel digital camera, featuring a two-power zoom lens with nine settings.

"Mobile phones have come a long way from black and white displays to colour displays. Today, next-generation models have built-in cameras, and now built-in camcorders," said Samsung senior director Kim Jong-In.

"We believe the demand for camcorder phones will increase and account for 10 percent to 15 percent of the Korean mobile phone market by year-end," Kim said in a statement.

During CeBIT in Hannover, Germany last March, Samsung showcased the SGH-V100, which was to come equipped with a decoder chip for playing MPEG-4 streaming video. However, it is unclear if this model has ever hit retail shelves.
