Korean electronics giant is officially joining Sony Ericsson (C905) and Samsung (INNOV8) with its KC910 handset. We first reported about this phone several weeks ago, and it looks to be LG’s follow-up to the original Viewty. Equipped with an 8 megapixel auto focus camera the LG KC910 is the first feature phone of the company to sport Wi-Fi connectivity. In addition it extends the functionality of the Viewty with GPS, which allows geo-tagging of the photos. Being an LG, you can expect this device to come with its own custom OS that’s unlike Symbian, Windows Mobile, or any other smartphone’s in the market. The camera of the KC910 uses Schneider-Kreuznach optics and has a protective cover. The sweet VGA videos at 30 fps and slow motion 120 fps QVGA videos are also there. A xenon flash is also on board to facilitate photography in low-light conditions.
Furthermore, the new LG will bring the following: a 3 inch TFT touchscreen display with 240 x 400 pixels, Flash User Interface, Dolby technology for an exquisite audio experience, microSD slot for up to 8GB of memory, TV out, DivX support, Bluetooth 2.0 and so on. The handset also comes with quad-band GSM connectivity (850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900 MHz), but it only works on the 2100 MHz HSDPA frequencies. This means that, if it gets to be released in the US, the KC910 will not be able to provide 3G speeds to American users. As for the release date, LG says the KC910 will come to the market in October of this year.
