The problem with all 5-megapixel camera phones is their high price, which means that no one can afford a 5-megapixel camera phone. Such phones were reserved for those who had a lot of extra money to spend. But finally LG has heard all our prayers and has finally released a 5-megapixel phone that is within our reach. The LG KC550 is a wonderful phone that has an excellent camera.

Design:

One thing is for sure, when LG makes a phone they make sure it is as stylish as possible and the KC550 is no exception, the phone is beautiful to look at. It consists of a huge 2.4-inch screen with a resolution of 240 x 320 pixels. Such a large screen is necessary for a phone of this type. It adds to the viewing pleasure. Underneath the phone there are normal navigation and call keys instead of touch navigation keys. It’s a good thing that LG cell phones decided to add normal navigation keys, as the touch navigation keys used on LG Chocolate were problematic and performed actions by themselves, such as making calls and deleting contacts when in the pocket.

On the left side of the phone there is a port for the USB cable and headphones, while on the right side there is a dedicated camera key, volume control keys and memory card slot that supports MicroSD cards up to 4 GB.

Camera:

The KC550 comes with a 5-megapixel camera and it is the main attraction of the phone. The camera comes with a Schneider-Kreuznach certified lens and has advanced features like autofocus, image stabilizer, and much more. The photos taken with the camera are of excellent quality. The KC550 records video at a resolution of 720 x 480 pixels and a frame rate of 30 frames per second, which is really impressive for a phone and the recorded video is worth watching.

Characteristics:

LG cell phones have added an excellent feature in this phone, the accelerometer. The accelerometer can be used to change the screen orientation from portrait to landscape modes as you rotate the phone, and can also be used for gaming. The dimensions of the phone are 96.9 x 51.4 x 14.9 mm and it weighs only 110 grams. As for connectivity, it supports class 12 EDGE and GPRS, Bluetooth with A2DP and a USB 2.0 port. The only thing missing is 3G.
