Preview: LG KC910

LG Cell Phones announced their next power house in August, The LG KC910. This cell phone is expected to be the next iphone killer. The main beauty of this phone, aside from its excellent 3 inch display is the all powerful 8 megapixel camera. LG Cell Phones announced this phone as a response to Sony Ericcson’s C905 & Samsung’s Innov8. Both of which come with an 8 megapixel camera. However the KC910 is much slimmer than both the C905 and the Innov8, measuring at 14 mm thick compared to 17.2 & 19.5 thickness of Innov8 & C905 respectively. The other advantage the LG KC910 has over the other two is that it has an excellent 3 inch touch screen display whereas the Innov8 comes only with a 2.8 inch display and the C905 comes with a 2.4 inch display, both of which are not touch screen.

The dimensions of the KC910 are 107.8 x 55.9 x 14 mm and is reported to weigh in at 114 grams. LG Cell Phones have also totally covered the connectivity front in this phone, as this is a quad band phone; GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900 and also comes with the powerful 3G meaning faster uploads and downloads speeds. Quad band means that this phone will work anywhere in the world. The KC910 also has Wi-Fi; 802.11b/g. The display will be a TFT 3 inch touch screen having a maximum resolution of 240 x 400 pixels. Just like the LG Viewty it will also be able to play and record videos in DiVX and XViD format. The KC910 is also reported to have a built in GPS receiver.

The camera is a stunning 8 Mega pixel having Schneider-Kreuznach optics and a lens cover. The camera has a maximum resolution of 3264×2448 pixels. The camera also comes with a Xenon Flash thus making it a completely professional camera. We also have a secondary VGA camera that can be used for video chatting via 3G. More advanced features of the camera include Camera geo-tagging, face, smile and blink detection.

The video camera is also what is to be expected from a 8 mega pixel. It can record in VGA resolution at a stunning 30 frames per second (fps) and at QVGA resolution at 120 fps. the recorded videos will be in DiVX format thus minimizing video size and conserving memory.

The KC 910 will be available in stores in October 2008, although mo one knows how much this beast will cost.
