LG Renoir User Review

The LG Renoir is a superior touchscreen phone equipped with Schneider-Kreuznach optics for crystal clear and sharp images on its 8.0 megapixel camera. It comes with a highly intuitive interface which supports widgets for user personalisation.

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 a photo shot will only be taken when the subject's smile is detected. 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.

Apart from its robust photo camera function, the phone still has more to offer; there's video and music playback support. The Renoir is equipped with Dolby Mobile which enhances the listening experience with rich and vibrant audio. 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 mobile video player, LG Renoir comes with the popular DivX/Xvid codec to support playback of high quality videos without the need of specifically recoding existing ones for mobile use. The total memory of the phone can be expanded to a maximum capacity of 8GB via the microSDHC memory card.

Other high end features include, built-in GPS, Google Maps and HSDPA for faster mobile internet. LG Renoir has a "Jogging Buddy" application which provides users information on distance and time. In addition, it also helps to keep exercise logs.

Overall, this 8 megapixel touchscreen phone has some high end and some unique features and all of these seem to work really well.
