Electricpig.co.uk have been hard at work, and got a hands-on with the Viewty Smart – a successor of sorts to the very-successful Viewty that LG released some time back now. The device is going on sale this month, and boasts an 8MP sensor in the camera – nice!
Apparently, and in fact like the Viewty, this is not a smartphone – instead it uses the fixed O/S which LG calls the S-Class – this doesn’t for a second mean the UI doesn’t look nice, it just doesn’t have some of the flexibility (and processing wow factor) you might expect in the average smartphone today. Having said that of course, this is a camera-phone in the truest sense of the word – and that is what it is optimised for!
The Viewty Smart (so-called I guess because of the amount of picture-processing power on board) has a whole series of clever tricks and sensors to give you the best pics – even face detection, a feature that hasn’t long been on digital cameras proper. There’s even some editing software on-board the device to let you take out imperfections in your pics (well actually in your subjects’ faces…). Suffice to say this is a CAMERA-phone, and it would seem that people buying it are not going to be disappointed in that respect!
For a whole host of pics and more info, check out Electricpig’s coverage here.

Ben is a 10+ year veteran of the Mobile industry – starting his career when SMS was a still a relatively new concept for most people (!), he has now consulted on everything from bleeding-edge Mobile content, to the next-gen accessories you might view it on. As a result he has a broad and deep knowledge in numerous areas of Mobile – from network operators to device vendors, to infrastructure and middleware vendors (not to mention content delivery) – and has worked for companies in all of these areas! He is based in the UK, a hotbed of activity for mobile, and recently became a father for the second time – as oppose to in his younger years when he was happy spend time tweaking all manner of mobile devices to 'nth' degree, he now looks for services and hardware that provide the most efficient, compact, and reliable improvements to his already manic life! It’s his opinion that Mobile solutions should be there to help to make your life better – if a particular solution (be it service or device) isn’t doing this, he believes you need to ask the very important question of why you continue to use it... His focus at IntoMobile is mainly on Mobile content, services, and infrastructure, particularly as regards the UK market – and with the occasional look at devices. Additionally, using his extensive experience in the industry, he will provide commentary on the industry at large, with regular (and hopefully thought-provoking) articles.
