Do you know what was the first camera phone in history?\u00a0No, it was not a Samsung, nor a Huawei nor an Apple.\u00a0This model may not sound familiar to you, but it paved the way for what, in a short time, became the biggest trend in smartphones.\u00a0We are talking about the\u00a0\u00a0Kyocera VP-210<\/strong>\u00a0, a device that, although now obsolete, was very innovative.<\/p>\n

Technical characteristics of the Kyocera VP-210<\/h3>\n

It was the year\u00a0\u00a01999 when the\u00a0<\/strong>Kyocera VP-210<\/strong>\u00a0mobile\u00a0came onto the market, revolutionizing everything that was known until now.\u00a0A mobile phone with a camera had never been seen and not only did it mount one, it was two lenses that appeared on its chassis.<\/p>\n

This Kyocera VP-210 had a\u00a0\u00a02-inch TFT LCD screen<\/strong>\u00a0, with dimensions of\u00a0140 x 54 x 29 mm<\/strong>\u00a0and a weight of\u00a0165 grams<\/strong>\u00a0.\u00a0Of course, it did not have an operating system.\u00a0There were still a few years left to receive what we know today as smartphones.<\/p>\n

But let’s get to the heart of the matter.\u00a0How were your cameras?\u00a0We are facing a\u00a0\u00a00.11 megapixel CMOS sensor<\/strong>\u00a0and the internal storage space allowed to take and store up to 20 images in JPEG format.\u00a0With them, you could send emails or make video calls that allowed you to show 2 frames per second, of course, with extra charges added to the bill that were not cheap at all.<\/p>\n

Availability and price<\/h2>\n

Of course, it is no longer for sale, but it could be bought at the beginning of the millennium for a price of\u00a0\u00a0300 euros at the exchange rate<\/strong>\u00a0.\u00a0If you want to get one, you can resort to second-hand apps, such as\u00a0Wallapop<\/strong>\u00a0or Milanuncios, and cross your fingers to see if someone puts this model up for sale, which is already a model for collectors.<\/p>\n
