LG have finally unleashed the much-rumored KC780 slider phone. Its major attraction is the 8 Mpix camera module with Schneider-Kreuznach lenses housed in a relatively compact casing, whose thickness doesn’t exceed 13.9 mm. On top of that it comes bundled with a 2.4-inch display. As LG claims, the KC780 is tweaked mainly for shooting portraits, rather than anything else, hence its advanced feats on this front, such as smile dection and face recognition. The phone is set to go on sale in Europe some time in November, and then it’ll go on to spread across the globe.
