LG KC910 Renoir camera phone
Cameraphone fans, the new LG Renoir will be available to buy on October 15h. Is this special? Hell yes! The LG KC910 Renoir takes all the features (and, LG hopes, the success) of the LG Viewty and runs away with – far, far away!

You can think of the LG Renoir as LG’s answer to the Nokia N95. Actually, it’s more than that – in many ways, it’s the successor to the N95 and what the N96 should have been.

Take, for example, the Renoir’s tour de force – its camera. At 8 megapixels, it beats the N95 and N96’s 5 megapixels in terms of resolution, and then throws a few little extras opn top just for good measure. There’s a Schneider-Kreuznach lens for top quality focusing, a Xenon flash (xenon is by far the best type of flash technology for camera phones), digital image stabilizer and even Face Detection, which ensures your subject’s face will always be in focus no matter how crap at shooting images you are!

Of course, the LG Renoir couldn’t claim to trump the N95 or N96 unless it had a few other tricks up its sleeve, and so LG have thrown WiFi, HSDPA (which can run at 7.2 Mbps) and GPS into the mix as well. They’ve also added a touchscreen, just to ensure the Renoir is untouchable (geddit?! Sorry…!)

Add to that video playback that supports DivX and XVid encoding, and video recording that can record video at 120fps (creating a slow motion effect when played back), and you’ve got a multimedia monster that’s quite possibly the most high-specced phone on the market today.

Well, maybe not today – but come October 15th, when it’s officially on sale, it certainly will be!

I’ll have a review of the LG KC910 Renoir soon, but if you can’t wait, head on over to Dialaphone or Phones4U and pre-order now!
