LG Electronics unveiled the long-awaited Korean edition of its Viewty phone, which was previously launched in Europe in October.
The Viewty is LG's first high-tech category phone, in contrast to the company's popular Black Label Series of design-focused handsets with emotional appeal. Armed with a 5.0-megapixel camera with certified Schneider-Kreuznach lens and manual focus, this full touch screen camera phone is for the serious photographer. ISO800, SmartLight and Image Stabilizer help users take images in low light or while moving. However, one of the Viewty's unique features is the ability to play video at one-fourth normal speed, thanks to is high-speed 120fps video recording function.Additionally, handwriting editing and drawing function allows consumers to add a creative touch to images directly through the 3-inch LCD touch screen. Finally, users can share their creative work by directly uploading it to the mobile edition of Cyworld, the Korean equivalent of Facebook. For the global version of the phone, the LG KU990, uploads can go directly to YouTube. The Korean edition of the LG Viewty comes in three models of 7.2-Mbps 3G phone, respectively tailored to all three major Korean network service providers: SK Telecom, Korea Telecom Freetel and LG Telecom. The global edition is a single 3.6-Mbps HSDPA model for the European open market. The LG Viewty was also launched in Singapore, South Africa, Malaysia, Taiwan, UAE and Thailand in November. The phone will be available by the end of this year in other parts of Asia, the Middle East and Africa.
