Camera Phones Plaza

We’ve talked about the second LG Viewty phone for so long that it seems like it’s been here since forever. And we’re not so very far from the truth, as it has been rumored for months. Not to mention the leaked photos or the accidents that brought some press photos with the new cell phone before becoming official.



In the given context, the South Korean company thought that this is the perfect time for the handset to be officially introduced to the public as the successor of the first LG Viewty, which, according to the manufacturer, sold an impressive amount of units: more than 6.5 million.



“Viewty is back and better than ever, with new smart camera applications that take care of all the complicated camera adjustments and processing for you”, said Dr. Skott Ahn, the President and CEO of LG Electronics Mobile Communications Company. In addition, he said that “Viewty Smart represents the next generation of LG camera phones, and will drive LG leadership in the industry with its innovative, smart technology”.



After trying to find which the consumers’ preferences are by conducting some surveys in countries like the Brazil, China, France, India, Russia, United Kingdom and United States, they tried to conceive the device that was closest to perfection, according to what the consumers answered. The result is quite impressive and includes, for example the Intelligent Shot Mode, a feature that is designed to analyze the subject, the background and the lighting conditions. Then it enable a comparison between the data and some pre-programmed scenarios (seven, to be more precise), which is a helping hand when it comes to taking the perfect photos ever.



Other features include the 8 megapixel camera with a maximum ISO setting of 1600 and LED flash, with Multi-Face Detection, DVD-quality D1 video recording capabilities, with Art Shot, Beauty Shot, Continuous Shot, Panorama Shot and Touch Shot, then the 3D S-class user interface, a 3 inch WVGA display with a resolution of 800 x 480 pixels, 7.2 Mbps HSDPA networj, Wi-Fi, geo-tagging based on assisted GPS, an internal memory of 1.5GB and a microSD card for external memory of no more than 32GB.



The new LG Viewty phone, called Smart or GC900, is expected to become available sometimes next month (meaning May), when several European carriers are said to start selling it.
