LG launch KC 780, has 8 Mega Pixel Camera

LG today announced the KC 780 Camera Phone after it was leaked earlier. The KC 780 contains a 8 Mega Pixel Camera & is just 13.9 mm thick, which is quite a feat considering it contains such a high resolution camera in it. It is the slimmest handset till now to have a 8 Mega Pixel Camera as the Samsung M8000 Pixon is 14.8 mm thick. Apart from being a digital camera, it also doubles up as a camcorder as it can shoot in Wide VGA at a resolution of 720 x 480 at 30 Frames per Second. The KC 780 also has other features like ace and smile detection, beauty shot, image stabilization and ISO 1600.

The KC 780 has a 2.4 inch display with support of 262 colors & QVGA (240 x 320) resolution. It has the latest Bluetooth 2.1 with EDR, 140 MB Storage & MicroSD card slot. However it doesn't have support for 3G or HSDPA so the only choice for data transfers is EDGE. The KC 780 will be also be able to stream video over it's bluetooth connection so it can also double up as a wireless web cam.


The Kc 780 is the second 8 Mega Pixel Shooter from LG after the KC 910 Renoir. It's main competition is from the other 8 Mega Pixel phones like the Sony Ericsson C905, Samsung i8510 Innov8 & Samsung M8000 Pixon. The tri-band (900/1800/1900) handset will start shipping as early as November this year at a price which is yet to be announced.

HTC Touch HD Leaks, another iPhone rival

Yesterday after the leaking of the HTC Opal, another phone from HTC has leaked. This time it's the HTC Touch HD. The Touch HD is an iPhone rival, like the Blackberry Thunder/Storm, and boasts a 3.5 inch WVGA Touch Screen. It's also supposed to be sporting GPS, Wi-Fi, 3G, HSDPA.

The OS of choice is Windows Mobile 6.1 with Touch Flo 3D on top of it. The power to run all this comes from a 528Mhz CPU courtesy of the Qualcomm 7201A platform. There are also 512MB flash memory and 256MB of RAM. HTC Touch HD measures 115 x 62.8 x 12mm (which is just about the iPhone 3G with 115.5 x 62.1 x 12.3mm). There's also a 5 Mega Pixel Camera, though without flash, compared to the paltry 2 Mega Pixel one of the iPhone.

HTC seems to ba making a lot of progress lately in producing good Touch Screen Phones like the Touch Diamond & this is just the icing on the cake with the first HTC phone to support 5 Mega Pixel Camera. However it's late to the party with Samsung i900 Omnia already crowned as the first Windows Mobile Real Camera Phone. The HTC Touch HD looks a lot like the Blackberry Thunder/Storm & will be challenging for the Top Spot among Touch Screen Phones along with the Samsung i900 Omnia, Blackberry Thunder/Storm, 3G iPhone & the LG KC 910. May the best Touch Screen Phone win !!
