LG KC910 Renoir review: Portrait of a high-flyer

By GSMArena team (gsmarena.com)

The LG KC910 has a moniker that sends out a bold and clear statement about talent. Packing a whopping 8 megapixel camera and top-of-the-line video recording, the LG KC910 Renoir is all about capturing the moment, leaving an impression...

Tri-band/Quad-band GSM versions, dual-band HSDPA ; 3" 256K-color touchscreen TFT display (240 x 400 pixels) ; 8 megapixel autofocus camera, xenon flash (geo-tagging, face tracking, blink detection, touch focus, manual focus) ; Video recording in AVI...

Xenon flash is inadequately powered and causes the camera to underexpose ; Fullscreen camera viewfinder doesn't show the entire frame ; No video streaming over Wi-Fi (such as the mobile YouTube) ; No Java connection over Wi-Fi (so Google Maps needs a...

The exciting facts and figures from the Renoir specs sheet however won't really give away its real-life performance and this is where we step in. We already had the camera performance of the LG Renoir to bits in our 8 megapixel cameraphone shootout but...

LG KC910i Renoir

By (mobilegazette.com)

Some of the differences are cosmetic. The new Renoir is all-black with some changes in the way that the buttons are laid out and it looks like there may be some physical changes in the camera area too.

The LG KC910 is the perfect successor to the multi-million selling camera phone, LG Viewty. Like its predecessor, which debuted as the slimmest 5 megapixel phone, the LG-KC910 will be the slimmest 8 megapixel handset on the market at just 13.95 mm when...

LG KC910 Renoir

By (cellphonedia.com)

If it is a phone you want with a top notch camera, the LG KC910 Renoir will not disappoint you. Announced in August 2008, the phone is available in the market since November 2008. LG has always made it a point to incorporate the latest technology and...

The LG KC910 Renoir is quite hefty, and not at all compact. It has got the ability to match shoulders with the Pixon or Viewty. Certain innovative ventures have raised the bar, and it can never be a bad buy.

LG Renoir (KC910)

By Ross Catanzariti (goodgearguide.com.au)

The long-awaited successor to LG's previous flagship model, the Viewty, the Renoir picks up where the Viewty left off by adding even more features to ...

8-megapixel camera, excellent touch-screen interface, HSDPA-capable, Wi-Fi, GPS display quality

Look and feel won't appeal to everyone, scrolling isn't natural or smooth, on-screen keyboard a little small, no 3.5mm headphone jack, call quality could be improved

Although it isn't perfect, the Renoir is undoubtedly the best camera phone we've ever reviewed. The touch-screen interface is excellent and it is packed with most of the latest features.

LG Renoir KC910 mobile phone

By (pocket-lint.com)

Is it a work of art?

Ok so the interface is not that sophisticated but this really is a great phone. The pictures from the camera were comparable to those I have shot on 5MP plus digital cameras, and the editing tools worked. But it was with the video and music playback...

Size wise - the phone is actually 3mm thinner than its closest competitor, and it feels relatively light at 110g.

LG Renoir KC910

By Sandra Vogel (trustedreviews.com)

Award: Recommended!

The 8-megapixel cameraphone race is on and the LG Renoir KC910 looks like one of the best contenders.

This is quite simply one of the best phones I've seen in ages. Its camera tops the i8510, though it still isn't up to what you'd get from an 8-megapixel dedicated digicam and is not itself a reason to buy. But the range of additional features is...

LG just nosed in front in a very competitive race.

Manufacturer's Description


Renoir takes super-sharp 8 megapixel pictures that can be edited in camera and are instantly ready for sharing online or printing. The phone's list of features includes some that are usually only found on extremely high-end standalone cameras, such as Schneider-Kreuznach certified optics, a Xenon flash, auto and manual focus, sensitivity up to ISO 1600 and geo-tagging. 8 Megapixel Camera LG's KC910 takes super-sharp pictures, thanks to an 8 megapixel camera with Schneider-Kreuznach optics and a Xenon flash. ISO sensitivity, which determines how much light the camera's sensor takes in, can be set as high as 1600, increasing the camera's performance in dark conditions. Users can select an object to focus on simply by selecting and touching a focal point on the phone's 3.0-inch wide screen. After touching an area to focus, users can take a photo simply by removing their finger from the screen. This feature means that users will never miss a shot while searching for the right button to press or get a blurry image because of camera shake. Automatically removing spots and imperfections of people's faces, Beauty Shot makes sure that faces appear bright and clear in photos. It creates more attractive looking portraits without the need to use Photoshop software. Unlock your creativity with its Art Shot mode. Create an artistic masterpiece with effects including, black & white, warm & cold exposure and more. Automatically triggers the shutter when camera detects a smile. Fires nine shots in rapid succession. Allows the phone to take panoramic images. The LG-KC910 also includes Face Tracking and Blink Detection. The LG-KC910 also makes it easy to watch high-quality DivX/Xvid video right out of the box. The handset includes the popular DivX/Xvid codec, a portable format compatible with a large and growing number of devices and platforms. This means there is no need to specially encode videos for the phone, transferring video files is as simple as drag and drop. LG-KC910 can record QVGA video at up to 120fps, which allows it to catch every detail in slow motion, making it perfect for capturing fast moving objects, such as those at sporting events. The LG-KC910 can also handle the opposite extreme, slowing recording down to 5 fps to record very slow-moving objects with a time lapse effect. LG KC910 supports A-GPS ensuring that users always know their exact location. The handset also offers the ultimate convenience for exercise enthusiasts by using the advanced GPS technology. Whether walking, running or jogging, KC910's Jogging Buddy provides up-to-the-second information including distance and time, and keeps an exercise log for you. With HSDPA connectivity at 7.2Mbps and seamless connections through Wi-Fi, users can browse the internet at very fast speeds. Users can choose widgets with customizable settings to appear on the idle screen. Widgets are easily added by dragging them from the menu bar. The widget screen is oriented vertically and users can scroll through widgets with the flick of a finger. Users can choose from a variety of color options for the idle screen. With its online widget function the KC910 provides instant access to information like weather forecasts on its idle screen. Real time weather data from carriers' online services will help users be prepared for unexpected weather.
