LG KU990 Viewty Touchscreen Cellphone Can Now Record 640x480 DivX at 120FPS

Recording VGA-quality movies is nothing new, but DivX and LG just announced that the LG Viewty smartphone can now record VGA-quality movies at 120 frames per second with what looks like a software update (new ones will ship with it pre-loaded). Best of all, it records in the DivX format, which means you can watch it back on all kinds of DivX devices (your computer, various PMPs, the Xbox 360 and the PS3 for example). Besides recording at such a high rate, the phone can also take 5-megapixel stills, for the times when one picture says more than 120 of them. The Viewty is already available in Europe, and we got a hands-on with it last year. [Mobile Burn]

LG's Viewty (aka the KU990) is now available in Europe, the same week that Samsung's G800 makes itself available over there. Let battle (of the 5-megapixel camera phones) commence.

Hands-on with the LG KU990 Smart Phone (Verdict: Definitely Not an iPhone Killer)

Here's the LG KU990 Viewty (will I ever get used to that name?) in the flesh at IFA. The camera may pack a 5 Megapixel camera punch but the phone itself leaves a lot to be desired, especially when compared to you know what. It's got some nice ideas, like the lens rim functioning as both a manual focus and a click wheel, but after playing with it, we have to say it looks incredibly badly executed.

Up Close and Personal Video of LG KU990 "Viewty"


Here's an extensive walk-through of LG's new KU990 Viewty. You can tell that this prototype is far from perfect as even our practiced demonstrator has issues once in a while. In my minute of allowed hands-on, I found that the back wheel doesn't spin, but snaps back into place after rotating about 30 degrees. It feels horrible. And the touch sensitivity is fairly crappy. Good on paper, bad in person.

Something funny: I asked if we could see the Viewty make a call and unintentionally stumped them.

According to CNET, the LG-U990 phone will have the ability to upload videos directly to YouTube and allow YouTube videos to be viewed directly on the handset. Still no price but we're probably willing to kill for it. [Crave]

LG U990 has 5 Megapixel Camera, Touchscreen, Sexiness

Here's the LG U990, a new cellphone with 5-megapixel camera with Image Stabilizer, auto-focus and Schneider Kreuznach optics. The twisting collar around the lens doubles as a shuttle dial to get your way through its amazing high-speed 120FPS video footage. And there's 3G HSDPA, 170MB internal memory, a 240 x 400 touchscreen and a music player. No price yet, but we want. [Akihabara News via Ubergizmo]
