LG Renoir

Introduction:
Have you ever thought about how the touch phones came in style? Many consider the iPhone as the revolutionary model of this new movement, but LG rightly reminds us that their PRADA came along before the iPhone was introduced Today, we’ll take a look at the Renoir KC910, which is the latest entry in LG’s touchscreen lineup. Successor to the Viewty, the Renoir is a powerful multimedia device with a top-notch camera, hence named after the famous French artist. In addition to the high-quality video DivX codec, we now have XviD support. The features now include Wi-Fi and GPS as well.



Design:
This particular design attracts peoples’ attention; the consumer is still fascinated with the very idea of a keyless device which is relatively new and reminds us of a futuristic movie. Design wise, the Renoir will not have as many followers as the PRADA and Giorgio Armani, but it will be an appetizing bite nevertheless. The “glass” face, the shiny sides and the jagged back which is made of miniature circles make it a much more attractive device than Samsung’s Pixon. You can feel those circles by running a finger across the surface and that pattern adds an interesting light reflecting effect to the phone. The only thing we are not happy with is its weight. The Renoir doesn’t feel too solid in a hand, making it appear cheap. On the other hand, this is very nice when you carry it in your pocket





Performance:
The Renoir has rich multimedia functionality but it is a phone after all, and we were happy with its above average performance as such. The sound at both ends of the line is loud enough, and despite being slightly muffled, the voices are realistic and clear. The speakerphone, however, is totally useless even in a quiet room.

We weren’t very impressed with the operating speed of the device. As we mentioned before, the menu transitions should have been faster and there were a few “choppy” moments as well. We even had the same experience with the original LG games, which means that the Renoir hasn’t been fully optimized. Additional lag can be noticed when opening the gallery or sorting tracks in the music player. Overall, not the best we’ve seen.




Conclusion:
LG’s Renoir KC910 is a good model, but it worth it? We would have to say it is not. The 8-megapixel camera and the rich functionality would be really attractive to the consumer if there was no competition in the class. However, in the world we are living in the mobile industry is characterized by dynamic development in all aspects and we all know that only the best live to see another day.
