LG Viewty has undergone a rigorous testing program as all the products that bear the DivX Certified logo do to ensure a high-quality DivX media experience, including reliable video creation and playback, interoperability with other DivX Certified devices and the visual quality users expect from DivX.

For those looking to bring their captured moments to life, the LG ‘Viewty’ brings another world’s first on a mobile with the 120fps video recording function. Taking videos has never been easier and now they can be shared with the world, with a single-click connection through HSDPA 3.6 high speed internet capability to YouTube.

A jog wheel placed on the back of the handset allows for quick scrolling and searching; and when playing music or videos it can turn the volume up and down, fast-forward or rewind and zoom in and out. Users can easily select the modes - ‘Camera’, ‘Video’, ‘Album’ with the 3-step module key.
