LG's 5 megapixel KF750 with DivX rebranded Secret, shhh

LG's KF750 was just announced official-like by the non-rioting folks at Lucky Goldstar. With it, we get the official specs courtesy of, uh, Photography Blog. Why is a site for digital photogs carrying a cellphone press release, you ask? Easy, this one's got a 5 megapixel camera with face recognition and the ability to shoot DivX video at 120fps. A member of LG's Black Label series, the 11.8-mm slider is the thinnest 5 megapixel cameraphone on the market. Unfortunately the press release is heavy on fluff and light on specs so we can only tell you that it'll also be sporting an auto-rotating touch-screen display, suite of mobile Google apps, and Bluetooth when it makes its European debut sometime this year, presumably, for an unknown price.

Update: A few more details are rolling in: 2.4-inch display, haptic feedback, and available in May.

[Nick M. @ Apr 24th 2008 3:19PM]

[kimatg @ Apr 24th 2008 6:02AM]

"European debut sometime this year, presumably, for an unknown price"

= free on contract.

[Andrew @ Apr 24th 2008 8:37AM]

Yeah, well, the majority of phones sold in Europe are actually *without* contracts. That's not to say this phone won't be cheap with a contract... but like most Europeans I buy my phones without limitations.

[The Engadgeter @ Apr 24th 2008 6:09AM]

Slightly larger screen would have been nice, but overall this one looks great

[Itsuru @ Apr 24th 2008 6:22AM]

I think I'll be buying this, I was waiting for the specs to come through and they're alright. It's the design that does it for me though.

[asyuta @ Apr 24th 2008 6:23AM]

hmmm...the logo on the right picture is mirrored/flipped

[kenboy127 @ Apr 24th 2008 2:05PM]

ya i noticed that tooo

[James Bowe @ Apr 24th 2008 2:14PM]

easy way to make sure the angles match I guess?

[AKBlade13 @ Apr 24th 2008 6:25AM]

Please, PLEASE let this come to America on CDMA on Sprint.

AHAHAHA, thats the funniest thing i've heard all day

[Jeff @ Apr 24th 2008 11:48AM]

i wish.

[DP @ Apr 24th 2008 6:51PM]

It ain't so bad. By year's end Sprint will have some pretty solid phones.

[Wonderkid @ Apr 24th 2008 6:31AM]

Nice looking, but why why why don't they learn from the Viewty and place the camera lens BEHIND the slide to protect it - and of course, improve the look at the same time? I imagine there is not enough space, but if Samsung can do it with their thin sliders, why can't LG? (Viewty is not a slider, but has no lens cover.)

[gad get @ Apr 24th 2008 10:34PM]

Hello, it has 5 megapixels! Doesn't that excuse it?

[OVerclockerX @ Apr 24th 2008 6:32AM]

If only it ran Symbian

[Cash @ Apr 24th 2008 7:14AM]

RF Bands: Edge,HSDPA 3.6 900/1800/1900/2100

Dammit... would it really hurt that much to make these freaking phones Quad band? Seriously, what harm does it do, unless the point of making them all triband is just to torture jealous U.S. citizens?

[Andrew @ Apr 24th 2008 8:41AM]

It probably has more to do with the fact that the European market is larger and open to more expensive phones. The phone companies in the US would probably find it too expensive or reject it for some other reason. At least here in Europe the consumer decides.

[Big Al @ Apr 24th 2008 7:15AM]

LG opened up a website for the phone:
http://secret.lgmobile.com/

In the "Neon Touch Navigation" section, the text reads:

"Inspired by the way round nipples appear when objects touch the water surface, Neon Touch Navigation lets you enjoy exquisite light and delicate vibration."



... I think they meant "ripples."

[thatrotierkid @ Apr 24th 2008 8:10AM]

freudian slip much? haha

[oliver kelly @ Apr 24th 2008 8:23AM]

Yes all this hype again, but just like the viewty the phone will be unsupported via software updates, the face recongnition disabled and a handful of "applications" that do not work. people will get stuck in 18 month contract with a crap phone.

[gad get @ Apr 24th 2008 10:36PM]

Is this inside information you're sharing?

[slarity @ Apr 24th 2008 8:22AM]

It is very nice looking, agree with many posts already, bigger screen please.

[Ross Levitt @ Apr 24th 2008 1:41PM]

Why cant verizon get a phone like this...I was just in the verizon store yesterday..and I was so disappointed with the selection. Everything was just clunky. These look hot!

[buu700 @ Apr 24th 2008 11:31AM]

Any chance of running Android on this thing?

[bver100 @ Apr 24th 2008 12:25PM]

the website is up with a specs page if anyone is interested

[DP @ Apr 24th 2008 6:53PM]

How many phones are you looking at?
