What Do You Need? Phone Or Camera? Check LG KU990

The mobile handset branch of South Korean electronics conglomerate LG has recently released another new model from its stable called KU990 or “Viewty” (View the next technology). This handset is said to be successor of its previous K series model model KE850 Prada.

So what makes the new model better than the earlier one?

The biggest plus is its massive 5 MP (five mega pixel camera) that can capture quality video directly in compressed DivX format. Besides, the device using Schneider-Kreuznach certified lens can also switch effortlessly to ISO modes from 100 to 800. It can also take photos in panaroma burst mode (9 shots in 4 seconds) but the quality is not so good. The TV out feature lets owners to view camera files directly on TV.

Apart from all regular features like short cut buttons for instant access to different functions, it has a large 3-inch 256K color TFT screen. The phone pack contains 1GB microSD card, drivwe CD and USB cable.

The body is stylish but lacks protective covers for the camera as well as main screen. The music system is quite good but the camera does not work as it should if used in sun-light with mismatched color coming out of it.

Price at over $500 is also quite high compared to other five mega pixel camera phone.
