LG Renoir KC910i

Now I have the second of the flotilla of three 8-megapixel cameraphones in my hands - the LG Renoir KC910. This is a 3G handset with HSDPA to 7.2Mbps, a front-facing camera for video-calling and Wi-Fi as well as Bluetooth among its non-camera treats. There is about 100MB of internal memory and micro SDHC card support. The phone didn't baulk at my 16GB microSD card.

In order to differentiate it from the current pack of 8-megapixellers (all three of ‘em), LG says the Renoir KC910 is the slimmest one on the market. The LG Renoir (I'm going to call it that as it is so much more evocative than simply KC910), measures pretty much 107.8mm tall, 55.9mm wide and 13.95mm thick. (Don't you love how hundredths of a millimetre have suddenly become important to phone measurements?) It weighs 110g. Samsung's i8510 (also known as the INNOV8), comes in at 106.5mm x 53.9mm x 17.2mm and 136g. This boils down to the fact that the Renoir is taller and fatter than the i8510 but thinner and lighter.
