LG have now announced that they are soon to release an 8 megapixel touch screen handset to succeed the viewty, and to rival the Samsung i8510. Of course, looking at the sleek touch screen design, LG are also hoping to compete with the the i-phone.
It is difficult to ascertain quite how the KC910 will function but by all accounts it will not be dissimilar from the Viewty. Looking at the pre release photographs, it is going to have a smart sleek appearance, but we cannot help feeling, even by looking at this shot that it looks a little cheap compared to the i-phone or Samsung i8510. However we will have to wait until the phone is released to find out for sure. Also, it is probably not fair to criticise its appearance based on comparisons with the i-phone, as LG tend to compete on functionality / affordability rather than aesthetics.
According to Mobile Cowboys this handset is due to be released in October, but they did not say which territories were to be included in that release. Also, the article was filed under “mobile rumours”, so, take from that what you will! That said Phone Arena also mention a release date of October. Furthermore, according to SoftPedia more 8 megapixel phones are set for release this year, with the Sony Ericsson C905 boasting 8.1 Mega Pixels and a planned release from Motorolla, which will also reportedly have 8 megapixels, according to (Boy Genius), and of course the aforementioned Samsung i8510.
