LG GC990 Louvre Cameraphone Shoots 12MP Photos, 720p Video

The sliding point where cameraphones and point-and-shoot cameras seems to keep moving towards the latter. The latest hybrid is the 720p, 12-megapixel LG GC990 Louvre, which, at least from the back, actually looks like a camera. More »

New LG Chocolate's Secret Feature Is an 800x345 Resolution 21:9 Cinema Widescreen Display?

LG's planning to milk teasers for the delicious-looking new Chocolate over the next month, but Tweakers.net might have spoiled the surprise: They say its secret feature is an 800x344 display—yeah, that's a heady 21:9 aspect ratio. More »

Three New Semi-Smart LG Phones Coming to Verizon

JD Power and Associates Ranks iPhone First Among Smartphones in Customer Satisfaction

Apple took top prize in JD Power and Associates customer satisfaction survey in the smartphone category, while LG ranked first among dumbphones. But one nagging complaint kept the iPhone's scores closer to the competition.

LG Viewty II (Smart GC90) Leaks In Pretty, Official Photographs

British website Mobile Today is claiming that the LG GD910 Watch Phone will sell on the Orange network across Europe for about £1,000, which is the rough equivalent of $1500 USD.

LG Says 12MP Camera Phone Might Come Later This Year

According to TechRadar, LG says they intend to develop a 12MP camera phone for later this year. The only other 12 megapixel camera slated for market is Sony Ericsson's Idou, which was announced at MWC. More »

LG Versa Go-Go Gadget Phone Out on March 1 for $200

LG's upcoming Go-Go gadget phone, the Versa, with its modular keyboard and gamepad (suck it, iPhone?) is launching on March 1 for $200 after a $50 rebate. Man, that's a ton of money-sucking accessories.

LG Signed Up to Make 50—That's Fifty—Windows Mobile Phones

LG previously used WM on one phone, but they're signed up for 50 phones now, thanks to the enhancements of Windows Mobile 6.5 and whatever back end business room deals have come about from this. More »

LG's KS360 Will Be Their First Android Phone This Summer

LG's previously announced KS360 is going to be the manufacturer's first Android phone, and will hit this summer with the same slide-out QWERTY, same 2.0-megapixel camera and same specs as before. [T3]

LG Arena KM900's Wacky Cubic UI Fiddled With on Video

Leaked photographs and vague marketing language hadn't yet provided a clear idea of how LG's new part-iPhone, part-Compiz UI actually works, but now a demo model has popped up on Swedish TV. It's weird.

LG Arena KM900 Combines iPhone-Inspired Interface With Touch-Based 3D Cube

We teased the LG KM900 about unabashedly copying the iPhone earlier this month, but maybe we should scale that back a bit. New info leads me to believe the interface is more SUSE than Apple.

LG Arena KM900 Is the Most Unabashed iPhone Look-A-Like Yet

I don't harbor a fanboy grudge with any company borrowing the iPhone's UI. Large buttons that are easy to press, a black background for colors that pop—these are good ideas for every touchscreen phone.

Prada II Phone Comes With a Swanky Little Bluetooth Watch

Apparently it was optimistic to expect Prada to understand the difference between a fashion accessory and a phone accessory, because now look what's happened: Prada and LG have announced the Prada Link, a Bluetooth watch that pulls text messages and your call information from the Prada II phone. To be honest though, it doesn't look so bad. The stylish Link has a tiny little OLED screen that displays the content of text messages, call history data, a call rejection option and, of course, the time. The only downsides are the 48-hour battery life, which leaves you latching your watch to the phone for charging every couple days, and the lack of a US release date. It's not yet clear if the watch will come with the phone for free, but considering that similar watches have retailed for around $400, I'd guess not. [Prada via Akihabara]

LG's KP500 Cookie Entry-Level Touchscreen Smartphone Gets $230 Price Tag

LG's upcoming KP500 smartphone is aimed at the entry-level end of the smartphone market, which kinda tallies with its cute-ish codename of Cookie. With quad-band GSM, GRPS/EDGE, a 3-inch touchscreen, accelerometer, Bluetooth, FM radio and 3MP camera, it doesn't sound too low end—until you learn that it'll only record video at QVGA resolution at 12 fps, and can only play back MPEG4 videos. But its price is attractive: around $228, which Boy Genius Report reckons will end up below $100 on contract. Due out later this month. [BGR]

LG Will Release Self-Proclaimed World's Thinnest 8MP Camera Phone

LG is claiming that its upcoming slider, the KC780, will be the world's thinnest 8 megapixel camera phone, according to GSM Arena. If that's true, the phone will wrestle the title from the Samsung Pixon, which measures in at a super slim 13.8mm. Besides the 8MP camera, the KC780 is also expected to have a TFT display with limited touchscreen, 30fps video recording, quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE connectivity, 140MB of on-board memory and a microSD slot for more, USB 2.0 and Bluetooth 2.0. [GSMArena]

LG Xenon 3G Side-Slider Pics and Specs Leak

BoyGeniusReports has got hold of some imagery and specs for an upcoming LG slider phone, the Xenon. It's a side-slider with QWERTY keypad, quad-band GSM and UMTS/HSPDA. It's only got a 3-megapixel cam, so it's no Viewty or KC910 but it does pack in AGPS, an accelerometer and proximity detector.

Verizon Launches Dashboard Flash-Based Mobile Storefront

Verizon has quietly gone live with their new Dashboard flash-based mobile storefront. So far, the app is only available on the LG Chocolate 3, but more phones are expected to be added by the end of the year. That would make it one of the largest implementations of Adobe's flash in the US. The service will allow users access to widgets that function as most widgets do—offering up easy access to news, weather and entertainment. If only the iPhone would get on the Flash bandwagon. [Washington Post]

LG Lotus Hands-On

The first thing that stands out about Sprint's exclusive LG Lotus is its shape. Few, if any, flip phones possess a square shape and a full QWERTY keyboard in a true clamshell design. The hardware was inspired by makeup accessories every woman on the planet carries around, but despite its target audience, the Lotus is nice hardware for anyone who makes text messages their priority.

Sprint's LG Lotus and Samsung HighNote: Fat Flip vs. Slim Slider

It's fitting that the two new Sprint phones from arch enemies LG and Samsung are so totally opposite in form. The $150 LG Lotus is a chunky purple paisley QWERTY-keyed flip phone (also in black). As you can see in the gallery below, the $100 HighNote from Samsung is a slider that elongates—emphasizing thinness—in two different directions: down reveals the number pad, and up flashes a cute but no doubt underwhelming speaker. They're otherwise mostly similar, with 2-megapixel cameras, expandable memory (Lotus to 12GB, HighNote to 8GB) and support for Sprint's EVDO media services. [Press Release] More »

LG VX9600, Little Brother to the Dare, Passes FCC Testing

LG's VX9600 has finally gotten the go-ahead from the FCC and may appear on Verizon shelves everywhere soon. Though information is scarce, the phone will have Bluetooth, an MP3 player, a 2 megapixel camera and a 3-inch 480x240 pixel TFT touchscreen. Verizon is allegedly planning to market it as a lower-end, and thus cheaper, version of its iPhone contender, the Dare. Neither company has officially announced the phone yet so no word on pricing or availability. [Phone Arena]

LG Prada II Full Specs Leak Online

The last we heard of the upgrade to LG's Prada phone, the Prada II, was a grainy photo and some speculative specifications. Now over at Boy Genius Report they've been given a run-down on the full specs of the phone from a source they trust. The rumored 5-megapixel camera is indeed there, with flash and VGA video capability. 850MHz/2100MHz HSDPA's there too, as is the 3-inch screen. Read on for more. More »

LG's KC910 is the New Viewty, With 8-Megapixel Camera

Nearly two months ago we teased you with a mocking mock-up of LG's upcoming KC910 cellphone, but now over at Phone Arena there's a real image, and official specs. The KC910 is a successor to the Viewty and it's no image-slouch: there's an 8-megapixel cam in that shiny body with a xenon flash, Schneider-Kreuznach lens, and shooting up to ISO 1600. It also does VGA video at 30fps and can do high-speed 120fps filming, though this is at QVGA resolution. There's even GPS for geotagging your imagery and navigation. More »

Possible LG Prada II Photo Leaked

A few months ago a rumor floated around that LG was planning a second coming of the Prada phone with features like a 3-inch touchscreen, 5MP camera, a front mounted camera for video calling, 7.2 Mbps HSDPA, a full HTML browser, microSDHC, and a slide-out QWERTY. Obviously, we can't confirm any of that information by this grainy photo—but it does back up the QWERTY keyboard, which keeps the rumors on track at least. It also doesn't do anything to discredit a possible 4Q release date. [BGR]

LG Invision: AT&T's Smallest, Cheapest Mobile TV Phone

A fairly quiet announcement, LG's Invision is the third phone to support AT&T's mobile TV service. It's got the same fat candybar form factor as the Access, but it's smaller, so presumably less awkward. Otherwise it's a basic multimedia phone for $99, if you were looking to get your mobile TV on for cheap. [AT&T]

Verizon Visual Voicemail Hits LG Voyager, Sadly Not Free

Sorry to get everyone's hope up—the rumor that VZW's visual voicemail was to be gratis apparently only referred to the app download. To actually use the service, it'll cost you $2.99/month per line, plus data and airtime charges, to hold up to 40 messages for 40 days. It's only available for LG Voyager owners at the moment, but more phones are surely to follow. Hit the download here, and read on for full details. More »
