Featuring a 8 megapixel camera, the LG-KC910i includes a xenon flash, up to 1600 ISO sensitivity and supports image stabilization, auto-focus, manual focus, Face Tracking, Smile Shot and blink detection. An embedded GPS receiver gives the LG-KC910i the ability to geo-tag photos for later plotting on an interactive map. It can also record video from 5fps up to 120fps, which allows it to record in both fast and slow motion. The phone also plays DivX and Xvid movies straight out of the box, without the need for additional encoding. There are also built in WiFi, microSD card slot and 7.2Mbps HSDPA wireless connection.

The demonstration, using the new LG KC910 Renoir (upgraded consequently), ensures that content preloaded in these cards can only be used in approved handsets. Network operators can freely distribute preloaded and downloaded content on removable memory cards, while restricting the accessibility of such premium content to only their network subscribers.

SanDisk and LG Electronics have worked closely to implement this new technology on the LG KC910 Renoir handset. By allowing IP connectivity to the memory card in the handset, the memory card serves as a network node that is remotely manageable by the operator using industry-standard TCP/IP and OMA Smart Card Web Server.

“With this advanced technology, handset manufacturers and MNOs will be able to meet the increasingly sophisticated demands of consumers who want easy access to premium content on their mobile devices,” said Amir Lehr, senior director, business development, SanDisk. “The new LG KC910 Renoir highlights SanDisk’s storage-based service delivery technology that is designed to enhance an MNO’s ability to facilitate content usage in a flexible manner and lets service providers customize their method of content distribution.”

The LG Renoir KC910 will be available in the market this month. According to the recent announcement it will first available in Europe, follow by Asia, Latin America and CIS in November, the Middle East and Africa in December and China in January of 2009. The 13.95 mm Renoir will be available in titan black and other color options depending on operator.
