LG was the first company to launch a touchscreen phone. That's right, it wasn't Apple with their iPhone. LG Renoir is yet another addition to LG's range of touchscreen models. The Renoir has a powerful camera and that is the reason why it has been named after the French artist. The phone has moved a notch higher from its predecessor the Viewty in almost all aspects.
Compared to its predecessor, LG Renoir looks classier and more refined. It has a 3 inch screen which supports 262,000 colors. On the front of the phone there are three buttons, the middle one takes you to the main menu and the other two are for answering and disconnecting calls.
The Renoir has a resistive touchscreen interface, which means that it will respond to any type of object and is not limited to the stylus. The touchscreen is more responsive compared to the Viewty.
The key feature is the camera. It's powerful and you may not need another stand alone camera if you have this phone. It is an 8 megapixel camera that has a large lens and sits on the back of the phone. To take a quick picture just turn the phone sideways and use the large shutter button to click. The camera also comes with a number of fun features. One of those is the Smile Shutter technology; this means that it only captures an image when a person is smiling. Another nice addition is the blink detection; it avoids taking a picture when someone has shut their eyes.
The video recorder is also enabled on the camera and you can record at up to 120 frames per second, this allows you to replay the videos in slow motion.
Besides powerful camera functions, this phone is still not all that it is proud of; there's music and movies playback as well. The Renoir has Dolby Mobile software that boosts the music experience. The only disappointing aspect is that LG fails to provide a 3.5 mm headphone jack, though you can still use an adaptor.
As a movie player, LG Renoir supports DivX and Xvid files for you to view video clips and movies. The memory on the phone can be extended up to 8 GB using the microSDHC card.
Other high end features include, built-in GPS, Google Maps and HSDPA for faster mobile internet. The Renoir also has a jogging application that tracks the distance and time taken while running, walking or jogging.
Overall, this 8 megapixel touchscreen phone has some high end and some unique features and all of these seem to work really well.
