LG is well known for the high end yet user-friendly phones that it has introduced into the marketplace in recent years. The mobile phone specialist has proven very popular with mobile phone users of all ages and demands. However, not one to rest on its laurels, LG has certainly gone forth and developed the latest technology to take pride of place within its functional yet feature filled handsets. The latest offering of the LG KC910 Renoir is no exception. It has already been compared to the iPhone and touted as a worthy contender to the ultimate touch screen phone, but can it really live up to the hype?



The answer is a resounding yes! The LG KC910 Renoir has overwhelming strengths that pay testament to the dedication LG have displayed in developing this handset. Starting with the appearance of the phone, it is undeniably sexy and sophisticated. In fact, this is one of the phones that are most pleasing to the eye I have ever seen. It is slim and light, fitting into the hand nicely, as well as simply beautiful. The 3 inch screen dominates the handset but is simply breathtaking given the 240x400 pixel display and millions of colours that can be seen on there.

When you use the touch screen functionality to delve into the menus though you truly will find it difficult to put into words what you find. The features list is extensive and comprehensive. Every single element is of a high quality given that LG seems to have listened to the public and improved on all of the features previously fund in LG handsets and eliminating previous glitches and niggles. As such, the LG KC910 Renoir is perhaps the best handset they have ever developed.

The LG KC910 Renoir's 8MP camera is a great place to start when dealing with features. The images taken are phenomenal. You can use the touch screen controls to capture the images so no messing around with buttons. With a Xenon flash, blink detection, smile mode and beauty shot, you are guaranteed to get quality images. There is also DivX support incorporated into its functionality for ease of use of the video function as well. The video is also of a high quality and the editing software enables you to do as you wish with it right there in the handset.

Believe it or not, the music player does not suffer as a result of the LG KC910 Renoir's camera capabilities. With Dolby quality sound available and most file types supported, you can listen to your tunes as and when you like really easily.

There is only one niggle with the LG KC910 Renoir handset and it is so small that it is barely worth a mention. Like many touch screen phones, the handset attracts greasy fingerprints, but if you wash your hands and wipe the phone every now and again this is of no consequence.

If the iPhone was waiting for a contender to come along then this is it. The LG KC910 Renoir is absolutely fantastic and anyone that has ever used one will definitely rave about it. LG should be commended for their hard work but they have certainly got a hard act to follow!
