LG KC550 was launched


LG KC550, the latest 5 Megapixel handset unveiled by the South Korean manufacturer, was released today in Romania. The new KC550 is a slider that targets users in need of a mobile phone that can also act as a professional photo camera. Of course, the handset won't actually allow you to take photos at a quality that can beat the one real cameras can offer, but it's still a good "photo tool". The 5 Megapixel camera packed by LG in the KC550 features Schneider-Kreuznach lens, flash, image stabilizer, ISO 800 and video recording (30fps at a 720 x 480 maximum resolution). This camera is quite similar to the one of LG Viewty, a handset well-known for its photographic capabilities.

The rest of the specs the new LG comes with include: a 2.4 inch TFT display with 256K colors, tri-band GSM connectivity, accelerometer and motion sensor (M-toy), Bluetooth 2.0 with A2DP, Music and Video players, FM radio, TV out, email and Web capabilities, 6 pre-installed games and USB. LG KC550 weighs a bit over 100 grams and, when not slid, it measures 96 x 51.4 x 14.3 millimeters. Its battery should be able to keep it going for up to 6 hours in talk-time mode and up to 450 hours in stand-by mode.

With the KC550, LG has equaled Sonny Ericsson when it comes to the number of 5 (or more) Megapixel handsets. The new slider is the fourth LG to have such a camera, after the KG920 (released back in 2006), the Viewty (released in 2007) and the more recent Secret. Coming as one of the lowest-priced 5 Megapixel mobile phones, the new LG KC550 is available as of now in lots of retail stores across Romania. The slider can be bought for prices starting at 850 RON (the equivalent of about $370 or 235 Euros).
