Hands-On LG KU990 Viewty + Samsung G800

Let's take a sneak peek at the flagship models of big time Korean makers Samsung and LG. Both of these phones are equipped with 5Mpx auto focus cameras. LG Viewty features an unbelievable 120 fps video recording at QVGA resolution which is pretty impressive IMO. As far as I know, not even stand alone digital cameras are capable of recording videos with such high frame rate. Just like the mighty Nokia N95, LG Viewty can also record videos at VGA resolutions. LG Viewty is a HSPDA, Flash UI powered touchscreen phone with built-in DivX player and strobe flash for brighter night shots. On the other hand, HSPDA Samsung G800 offers the WOW factor such as 3X optical zoom with true xenon flash, face detection, high ISO option plus the ability to capture VGA videos too. If that's not enough, Samsung G800 comes with TV out feature and comes pre-installed with document viewers for PDF, PowerPoint, Word and Excel.

LG KU990 Viewty Hands On Preview!

Last month, LG shocked the mobile phone atmosphere when they revealed the KU990 Viewty (I guess its the slang of 'beauty', according to LG?). Well anyway, this Viewty is equipped with a 5mpx auto focus and (hear this guys) manual focus camera just like a professional SLR and if that's not enough, this Viewty can record VGA videos at 30fps and an amazing 120fps at QVGA resolution! Sounds better than stand alone digicams?! Actually, it's better (AFAIK) in video recording department! Mind us, this is still a mobile phone. Here's a great demo c/o ShinyShiny:
