LG Viewty is the manufacturer's most erudite device lacking a standard keypad. With its 5 megapixel camera it is not only capable of taking pictures, but, for the first time on the market, also of making high-resolution DivX videos too. The handset has already amazed the public with its 320x240 pixels large videos, but with the help of its software the Viewty is now able to shoot videos in VGA (640x480 pixels) at 120 FPS, as opposed to the previous QVGA resolution, thus surpassing many of the standard video cameras available. The phone has undergone a rigorous testing program, as do all the products that bear the DivX Certified logo, and now it is the only phone around with native high-quality DivX video recording.
Dr. Skott Ahn, of LG Electronics Mobile Communications commented on the Viewty's brand-new DivX video feature: "The addition of DivX recording capability to the Viewty will open up the media experience and enable our users to do more with the videos they capture, from sharing that content online to playing it back beyond the phone on a wide variety of devices."
LG Viewty, currently available in Europe, will begin shipping immediately with DivX encoding capabilities, so video buffs should better watch out for this marvel!
