LG Announces the KC550

LG is coming out with a new mid-level phone which is being targeted for the European market - the KC550. This new mobile slider packs a whooping 5-megapixel camera at such an affordable price. It features a Scheneider-Kreuznach autofocus lens which is protected by a sliding cover including the flash. The LG KC550 also boasts of a fast processor which is a useful feature when viewing large photos and also for watching DVD videos with high resolution. The KC550 is capable of viewing 720×480 videos at 30fps. Unfortunately, its video camera does not support DivX format yet. The KC550 is also packed with an integrated sensor that makes it possible to take advantage of the six preloaded “motion sensitive” games. This feature is similar to the recently released LG Secret mobile phone. The KC550 also features a microSD slot, stereo Bluetooth and QVGA display. For those looking for a slim mobile phone, the KC550 measures only 14.3mm in thickness. Other features and specifications of the LG KC550 include; 2.4-inch TFT LCD, video player, FM radio, and a built-in 25mb memory. As the LG KC550 has just been announced, no word on pricing and release date is available yet. But like we said, since it doesn’t have a 3G capability, chances are it will be released only in the European mobile market, or perhaps even in some Asian countries where 3G is not yet that established. But still, the LG KC550 is still a great phone especially with its 5mp camera which high enough in mobile phone camera standards.
