The stage is setting up for another head to head battle, armed with 8 Mega Pixel Camera unit the latest to enter is the LG KC910 also known as Renoir.the successor to their top selling LG Viewty.Which will be their flagship device to outrun the SE C902,Samsung INNOV8 and all the other rival 8MP camera bearers.So the game has been announced but where is the player from Nokia,is he missing or silently waiting in the oven to top-up some ingredients,or is it still on sketch-boards.Mhh a big question mark left with so many blank spaces to be filled.Any way as a steady Nokia Fanatic I love this happening,so the their next 8MP Video flagship device (Rumored N93 successor) will have time to shape up it self and finally we’ll see a long awaited All-In-One super flagship.Probably this will be the one due on S60 5th edition Flagship schedule rather than the one we saw on the leaked patent application few months back.
But the wait isn’t gonna be a silent period of time,more we wait more eye-catching gadgets are revealed day by day. So lets analyze what this Renoir has to offer and what the Next N-series Video Flagship has to learn from it. Well the Camera it undoubtedly the success point of this flagship cameraphone offering image stabilization, xenon flash,Auto/manual focus,Schneider-Kreuznach lens, and automatic face detection are just enough to get onto the utmost level of 8MP,but with the addition of widescreen 720×480 video recording at 30fps on a WVGA (800 x 400) touchscreen,nothing stands in its way.All the hurdles cleared at the moment it is stepping into a world where digital cameras are slowly transforming into phones.
It also sports an accelerometer to facilitate auto-rotation and a nitty-gritty Automatic QWERTY keyboard appearance feature,when the phone is rotated into the landscape position while you are on a typing mode.Also a something similar to 5800XM’s media key menu is offered for shortcuts in a side panel.Also among the other noticeable features there seems to be fairly enough built-in applications but still being a device running on non-customizable OS(Same as Viewty),the chances of challenging the S60 devices is very less,when compared to iphone,which is one of their main devices shortlisted to be outrun.But in the other hand they too have learned few things from Nokia and S60 like the accelerometer features and GPS assisted exercise program which comes in-built called”Jogging buddy” a substitution for Nokia’s “Sports Tracker”as it seems,but I wonder will it be. Also the Video Editing Softwares and few other nifty applications.
Somehow Renoir successfully accomplished in multimedia sector,as this device comes with ideal features for entertainment purposes,especially the inclusion of Dolby Sound technology it might be the perfect film watching gadget that sits in your pocket.
The sleek stylish design is another winning point where the only available three physical keys are somewhat resembling the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic.Backside of the device really stands for exibiting the looks of a digital camera with the cool looking lens cover.So from the front it looks like a little TV and from the back it’s a cam,definitely a catered mix of flavours for youth.But more or less it is designed intentionallly to be an iphone killer.
The Renoir has no specific selling point or any other unique totally new feature,but it has gathered a handful of currently available nifty features and they are all crammed into this little pice of gadget.Working on Both 2G(GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900) and 3G(HSDPA 2100 / 900 and UMTS 850 / 1900) networks.WiFi,A-GPS,GeoTagging,and a 8GB chip isn’t this a good investment?So for S60 fans I see no reason to move onto this instead there is a lot to learn from it,not for the consumers but for the manufactures.The time has come to put out an All-In-One Flagship,Nokia we are waiting for it.
