When it comes to Touchscreen phones, LG are definitely at the forefront of the technology. With hugely successful phones such as the LG Viewty, the 8.0 Megapixel LG Renoir and the current top seller the LG Cookie, it’s safe to say that LG know a thing or to about touchscreen technology. And it would seem that they’re at it again with the LG Arena, with one leaked image already available and showing off what looks to be an incredible classy and stylish mobile phone.
At the moment, all we have to go on is this solitary image. Clearly a touchscreen phone, the LG Arena (also going under the title LG KM900) resembles a mixture of the LG Renoir and the Samsung Tocco. The Arena has a smooth brushed metal finish and large display with, what appear to be, touch sensitive controls at the bottom for answering and ending calls and entering the main menu. At the top of the LG Arena we can clearly see a front facing camera which would suggest the phone features 3G or 3.5G HSDPA connectivity. The side also has a raised lip which would suggest expandable memory, likely to be via MicroSD, LG’s memory of choice.
In terms of other features, following is all speculation but if you believe the rumours currently doing the rounds online, the LG Arena will feature a 5.0 Megapixel camera (Schneider Kreuznach Lens?) and a new “3D interface”. Now 5.0 Megapixel touchscreen phones aren’t exactly rare but they’ve definitely got me interested with that 3D interface tag. What could it mean, an all new UI? Supplied with 3D glasses? Ok, perhaps not the last bit but it definitely sounds intriguing.
With the Mobile World Congress (MWC) event just over a week away, an announcement from LG unveiling this striking new touchscreen phone seems more than likely. Keep your eyes on the Blog for more information as we get it!
