LG’s second 8 megapixel camera phone – the KC780 - has been officially launched. This 13.9mm thick slider with its 2.4-inch widescreen LCD display comes with a Schneider-Kreuznach certified lens. "We found that most of the time people use the cameras on their mobile phones to take pictures of themselves, their families, friends and significant others," said Dr. Skott Ahn, President and CEO of LG Electronics Mobile Communications Company. "With this in mind, LG developed the LG-KC780 with a number of face-enhancing features to augment its high quality 8 megapixel camera." The LG-KC780’s camera incorporates features like Face Detection and Smile Detection technology, which can recognize the angle of people’s mouths and adjust focus on faces. With Smile Shot enabled the camera automatically triggers the shutter when it determines that the subject is smiling. And with Beauty Mode users can remove spots and imperfections on people’s faces, making sure the faces appear bright and clear in photos. It also has adjustable light sensitivity up to ISO 1600. If an image is too bright, however, LG’s SmartLight setting automatically fixes it. The KC780’s camera also comes with a built-in Image Stabilizer. The LG-KC780’s D1 Video recording captures DVD-resolution video. Other features include Smart Bluetooth, which opens up a number of new options when the phone is connected to a personal computer, for example, the phone’s camera can be used as a webcam in online conversations and moves with the user, as long as the phone stays within Bluetooth range. This feature is a world’s first. In addition, Smart Bluetooth makes it easier to send and read text messages, allowing them to be typed and viewed on the computer. The LG-KC780 also has Motion Sensor Games for interactivity. It supports microSD cards for external memory, supports DivX video playback, has a music player and an FM radio and is EDGE/GPRS enabled. It lacks GPS which could prove to be a downside, but on the other hand it could also keep the price down. LG-KC780 will go on sale in November 2008, in Europe, later expanding to CIS and Asia, including India, Thailand, Hong Kong and China. There’s no pricing attached yet. |
