LG KU990 Viewty

LG's new 5.1 megapixel camera phone, the LG Viewty. The new touchscreen phone allows viewers to enjoy a wide variety of professional-level digital camera features in a single sleek handset. LG, which led design innovation in the mobile handset arena last year, is once again driving new mobile phone trends by shifting its focus to high-tech functionality. The LG Viewty is the first example of this new direction. Equipped with professional-level digital camera features, the phone allows mobile users to enjoy their viewing experience to the fullest.

With the LG Viewtys manual focus function, which no other camera phone provides, users can take more control over their pictures. In addition, the built-in image stabiliser helps record clearer images. Users can personalise their unique pictures by writing on them digitally using the 3.0-inch LCD screen and attached stylus; they can also use the stylus and screen for working with the LG Viewtys built-in digital editing software. And, when they’re done, pictures and video can be easily uploaded to the Internet

Borrowing from the high-end digital camera industry, ISO 800 and SmartLight technology help create bright pictures, even indoors and at night. Users are able to enjoy a wider and much more vivid display than with most phones on the market through the large full-colour touchscreen and Mobile XD engine. The handset can even recognise handwritten text input via the stylus.

The phone also records video at up to 120 frames per second, the highest frame speed ever for a handset camera. This allows users to seamlessly watch DVD-like content, even in slow motion. It also features a quick search-enabled jog wheel, which helps users quickly raise or lower the volume during calls as well as easily zoom in or out when taking photos or video.
