The 8-megapixel shooter from LG has been doing its world tour for a while now, but with China’s homebrewn 3G network, the KC910’s 3G support would be pretty useless in the country.  Enter KC910E, a Renoir specially built for the Chinese market sans 3G, with only 2.5G or EDGE support.  Other than this major difference, the KC910E’s spec sheet is similar to that of its original with its high-end 8-megapixel camera with Xenon flash, a 3-inch touchscreen display, WiFi, Bluetooth, aGPS, and microSD expansion.

The LG KC910E is available in China for 3200 Yen (approx. $470).

Compared to the measly 70MB of internal memory that was available to the user on the first version, this definitely is a big leap indeed for photogs interested in a high-end cameraphone.  Of course, to some people, even 8GB would never be enough, so thankfully LG has left the microSD slot in place for further expansion.  Now called the LG Renoir 8GB Black, it still carries over the same features that can be found on its predecessors except the increase in storage.  There’s aGPS, WiFi, 3G HSDPA network support, DivX and Xvid capabilities, a big 240×400 pixel touchscreen display, and that awesome Schneider-Kreuznach 8-megapixel lens supporting 120fps video recording with Xenon flash to boot.

We don’t have word on its pricing or availability yet, but expect it to be a tad more dearer than the original was released last November.

Looks like LG wants to cover both the high and low end of things, just as it did when it entered the 5-megapixel fray with the Veiwty KU990 and KC550. As a companion to the already announced high-end KC910, LG seems to be working on a low-end 8-megapixel snapper, the KC780. The KC780 has already managed to slip by the FCC unnoticed and except for its powerful lens, it falls short (as LG expects) in many other areas. The slider is designed to work with quad-band GSM networks with speeds stopping at EDGE, and has Bluetooth, USB 2.0 support, and microSD expansion to augment the 140 megs that it houses internally. Not much to speak of, but if we are solely interested in a good cameraphone, this could serve the purpose. No details on pricing or availability, but as always, looks for us to tell you. (more…)

The KC910 aka Renoir’s 8-megapixel camera and its touchscreen interface were caught on camera recently and although it’s not a huge leap for LG in terms of technology, the camera alone should be enough to win over LG Viewty fans and photogs alike. The LG KC910 is shaped up in the usual bar form factor for a touchscreen cellphone and is a multimedia powerhouse with its ability to play Xvid and DivX videos natively in addition to many other usual formats with a big beautiful QVGA display to watch them on. Dubbed as the Veiwty II, the KC910 also carries a host of connectivity options including Bluetooth and WiFi along with 3G/HSDPA support and a GPS receiver for turn-by-turn navigation and geotagging photos. With the Schneider-Kreuznach-certified 8-megapixel lens being the strong point, this touchscreen device has a lot of camera-centric features like a Xenon flash, auto/manual focus, face/smile tracking, blink detection, and a bevy of creative shot modes to equal that of an average digital camera.

The LG KC910 will hit the streets in October, but until then, a couple of more pictures after the break should keep you satisfied.

We have seen two cell phones that can boast of a 8-megapixel camera as of now, but the LG KC910 has another trick up its sleeve, a touchscreen. Built along the lines of LG’s successful Veiwty, the KC910 is endowed with a 8-megapixel camera with a Xenon flash, auto and manual focus, face tracking, and smile/blick detection. It can also record videos at a whopping 120 frames, although that would probably mean recording in QVGA instead VGA resolution. Apart from the camera, the KC910 is also a multimedia behemoth, being capable of playing DivX and Xvid movies while putting out excellent sounds by way of Dolby technology. Coming to its connectivity options, this touchscreen cell phone has WiFi, 3G/HSDPA support, and built-in GPS for turn-by-turn navigation. There’s also a Jogging Buddy feature for the fitness fanatics, which uses GPS to track the user’s jogging routes and provide useful information. Photogs won’t have to wait long to get their hands on this device, as the KC910 is scheduled for an October release with an undisclosed price tag.
