Sony Ericsson may have announced the industry first 8 megapixel camera phone, C905, but that doesn’t mean other players are sleeping. Apparently, Korean LG Electronics is working on its own such device with 8 MP camera and Xenon flash, and is readying the device for October launch.

If rumors proved to be true, the upcoming KC910 model may be one of the best devices on the market. Here’s what we know so far:LG logo

  • The device will be able to record video at 720×480 pixels and 30 frames per second.
  • image stabilization, face recognition
  • WVGA touchscreen, that’s 800×480 baby!
  • brand new UI
  • very thin aluminum casing (less than 14 mm) with a hardened glass display

Nothing from above is confirmed by LG and at this stage we’re not sure whether they’ll actually release such a device. However, as Sony Ericsson and other handset makers slowly move toward higher megapixel count, it’s fair to argue we’ll see other players jumping on the “8 megapixel board” as well. Hopefully, we’ll soon have some leaked photos to prove the story…
