LG GC900 Viewty Smart gets coddled, previewed
After being officially unveiled (twice) for the European market last month, LG's GC900 Viewty Smart has finally arrived into the loving hands of those at GSMArena. The unit you see above is actually a pre-production unit, but it was baked enough to warrant a full-scale preview until review units start to ship. One of the biggest reveals was this line: "It's not a smartphone or anything, no matter how much we would have liked that; instead, it's a regular full touch feature phone, but one with a really polished UI and top-notch imaging capabilities." Critics spent a good bit of time checking out the still-novel 8MP camera, and while they were generally pleased with image quality and color, they weren't so stoked about the phone's ability to capture video. Overall though, they couldn't help but gush about the "gorgeous display" and "best-of-class user interface," which definitely leaves us even hungrier to wrap our own digits around a finalized unit.
LG's Viewty II rumored for June release, all 8 megapixels of it
Looks like LG's about to treat the world to an upgrade of its popular Viewty handset. The Viewty II (aka, GC900) is rumored to be hitting Orange UK sometime in June. As a refresher, the VII (or juicy 900 if you must) is laden with impressive specs including LG's 3D S-Class UI riding a 3-inch WVGA touchscreen, accelerometer, and an 8 megapixel camera with xenon flash, manual and auto focus, image stabilization, ISO 1600 support (riiiight), A-GPS geotagging, slow motion video, and even DivX and Xvid playback. Add to that 32GB of expandable storage, WiFi, and 7.2Mbps HSDPA data and you'll understand our anticipation. [Via Pocket-lint and Electric Pig]
LG's GC900 Viewty II subjected to smudgycam treatment?
We caught wind of the supposed LG Viewty II last week at CeBIT, though weren't graced with photos til today -- a couple pics actually surfaced in comments, but lacked the xenon flash mentioned in the specs. PhoneArena has thrown a couple pics up of this 8 megapixel set and we're liking what we see: large display, uncluttered layout, and what appears to be a xenon flash. We've already seen the specs so now it's a waiting game as we get set for this to potentially waft our way -- provided it's loaded with bands we can use. Follow the read link for a shot of the other side of the device.
LG's Viewty II about to take center stage at CeBIT?
LG's enormously popular Viewty seems about set for a upgrade with the potential launch of the 3D S-Class UI toting LG GC900 Viewty II. The GC900 features all kinds of goodness with a 3-inch WVGA touchscreen, an 8 megapixel camera -- with autofocus, xenon flash, film speed up to ISO 1600 -- geotagging, DivX and Xvid video support, and memory expansion up to 32GB. No bands were mentioned, but the GC900 has 7.2Mbps HSDPA for somewhere, WiFi is onboard, AGPS, and the camera will record slow motion video -- which is a riot on other devices. No pics, prices, or dates are attached, but we're hunting it down and will update as soon as we can.
