LG GC990 Louvre. Conceptilicious
Another day, another 12 megapixel camera phone touted. And, cynical as we may (very occasionally…) be, this one looks like it’s one of the better ones. Have a little scout around Google images and you’ll find that the back of the LG Louvre actually looks more like a camera than a phone, in fact. But, as always, it’s what’s inside that counts, and this thing is more than impressive there.
For example, this will be the first camera that combines the 12MP still imaging with the ability to record video in HD. Before, you’ve only had the latter in the Samsung i8910 Omnia, and the former in the likes of the Sony Ericsson Satio.
There’s also a rumoured 3200 ISO capability, meaning you’ll be able to take shots in very low light indeed. We’re slightly sceptical on this point (chances are there’ll be a hell of a lots of background noise – or fuzz, as we prefer to call it) but we’ll hold out tongues until the LG Louvre GC990 is actually released.
And that’s one of the most disappointing things about this phone actually: it’s still very much a concept, with LG refusing (so far) to even confirm it’ll ever make it into production. Well, so they say, in a kind of come hither, lip pouting way… we all know they’re rushing their little legs off to get this thing out, don’t we? Oh well, good luck to them, and in the meantime, satisfy your LG-urges with this list of LG mobile phones, or have a gander at this LG Louvre review.
