LG’s latest super-snapper cellphone has broken cover, and from the spec-sheet at least you’d think this was the handset to quash all point-and-shoot digicams. The LG GC990 Louvre is tipped (despite LG’s own denials; see after the cut) to launch later on in 2009, taking the place of the existing LG GC900 (aka the Viewty II), and brings with it a 12.1-megapixel camera with Schneider-Kreuznach optics, Xenon flash and what the company suggests is ISO 3200 sensitivity.
We’re so used to seeing the spec list, press photos, leaked hands-on videos with pre-production samples and early reviews of new cellphones that it’s something of a surprise that the LG Viewty II has remained so discrete. So far it’s just been a few snaps and a partial spec sheet to whet our anticipation; not bad, since according to Electricpig the touchscreen handset itself is set to hit Orange UK in June.
Live images of the LG Viewty II, aka the LG GC900, have emerged, following on from the handset’s specifications which were revealed last week. In fact, it seems as though the device was under our noses all the time, or at least at Mobile World Congress, where LG were quietly displaying it under glass.
According to newmobile, you’re looking at the specifications for the successor to the LG Viewty, the LG GC900 Viewty 2. You’d be looking at a photo of the handset itself if LG weren’t so uptight about images leaking out; all we know is that the Viewty 2 most closely resembles the LG Secret, only minus the slide-out number pad.
