LG GC900 Viewty 2 surfaces!

Following an impressive showing at the recent Mobile World Congress event in Barcelona, LG are preparing to announce the successor to the hugely popular LG Viewty. The name of this sequel? That’s easy; the LG Viewty 2! Well not that easy as the Viewty 2 has also been spotted sporting GC900 as its name. Whatever LG decide to plump for and with very limited information and images for the phone few and far between, here is what we know about the phone so far…

The Viewty 2 features a 3 inch WVGA touchscreen display which promises a vivid visual experience. But what’s a phone to look at if you can’t touch it? Well the Viewty 2 is also sporting LG’s brand new S-Class user interface, as seen first on the LG Arena, which promises to provide a slick, fluid “3D” user experience. If the appearance of the S-Class UI hasn’t already got you excited then the camera definitely will. The new Viewty features an 8.0 Megapixel camera with a SchneiderKreuznach lens, Face detection, smile and blink detection, a powerful Xenon flash and the ability to Geo-tag your photos. Following on from its predecessor, the Viewty 2 is also more than capable of handling video capture at both normal and super slow motion speeds.

Away from the camera, we find the Viewty 2 packs in HSDPA and Wi-Fi connectivity for high speed web access and downloads, A-GPS support for the afore mentioned Geo-tagging of photos (though whether this will be able to handle navigation software is unconfirmed), Bluetooth and an accelerometer for rotating the screen to match the orientation of how the phone is being held.
