Preview Summary:LG KC780 3

Possessing an array of great features, the LG KC780 is an absolute steal for the price. As well as having one of the best cameras on the smartphone market - with 8 megapixels and a Schneider-Kreuznach lens, this handset displays 256,000 colours on a smooth 2.4” TFT screen for clear, concise images.

There’s also a nifty slider, a touchscreen and multi-format media player. Professionals, meanwhile, will welcome the inclusion of a Document viewer. LGenius.

The LG KC780 is one of the newest mid range sliders to be released into the market. This is an improved version of the LG KC910 Renoir. The LG KC780 is a touch screen phone which is almost as good as the iPhone in terms of user friendliness. The phone is a slim phone with an excellent camera.

The KC780 has an excellent display and allows very bright images to be displayed. The slider design is nothing extraordinary and is something that should have been better for a phone of its class. The slider design is not as smooth as in phones like the Nokia 5610. The navigation keys below the screen are pretty easy to access without too much of a problem. The only thing that you should remember is to try out the phone before you buy it, as the keypad can be difficult to use if you have large fingers.

The best feature of the KC780 is its camera. At 8 MP, the photos are extremely sharp and clear with no part of the image being blurry even in low light. it also has some nice features such as image stabilizer, which prevents photos from being too blurry due to minor hand movements when taking the photos, and the face and smile detection, which allows photos to be taken automatically when the person in the viewfinder smiles. Call quality was pretty good and clear as the Motorola ROKR even when the user spoke in a noisy environment. The phone can also be used as a gaming device, as it comes preloaded with M-Toy motion based games. The accelerometer enhances your gaming experience even more. One thing that makes this phone better than the Nokia N95 is its Bluetooth webcam option. This allows you to connect the phone to your computer and then use the camera as a webcam. Sound quality is also really good, as the speakers are both loud and clear. This makes it better than even phone such as the W910i, as this has the excellent camera as well. Overall, the KC780 is a good buy for any casual user who is looking for a phone with good all round features.
