As successor to the multi-million selling Viewty, the Renoir measures just 13.95 mm thin. The 3.0-inch WQVGA full-touch LCD screen has a customizable interface, with numerous widgets and shortcuts.

The Renoir leads the industry with its 8.0-megapixel camera, which is being developed to include Schneider-Kreuznach. It has a xenon flash, ISO sensitivity up to 1600, image stabilization, auto-focus, manual focus, Face Tracking, Smile Shot and blink detection. A GPS receiver geotags photos.

The Renoir includes Dolby Mobile for clean, powerful bass during music listening. It can record video from 5 up to 120 frames per second for fast and slow motion. It also plays DivX and Xvid movies straight out of the box, without the need for additional encoding.

It has Wi-Fi access or 3G HSDPA connections up to 7.2Mbps. It also includes a Jogging Buddy program that uses GPS technology to help track workouts.

"We've once again combined a high-end camera with top-notch multimedia features and full touchscreen interface to provide the ultimate multimedia experience," said Dr. Skott Ahn, CEO of LG Electronics Mobile. "According to our customers a full touchscreen interface is essential for fully utilizing high-end multimedia features and this is one of many areas where the LG KC910 excels."

The LG Renoir will be available for purchase beginning in October.

Nope. Nothing this good ever makes it across the ocean. I want to live in Korea.
