LG Renoir KC910 video review

  • More Photos
  • Video

This is quite simply one of the best phones I've seen in ages. Its camera tops the i8510, though it still isn't up to what you'd get from an 8-megapixel dedicated digicam and is not itself a reason to buy. But the range of additional features is excellent, and very importantly, overall user ergonomics are excellent. LG just nosed in front in a very competitive race. Read full review

Sandra, thanks for the review.





You mentioned a lack of a 3.5 headphone jack, do LG include an adaptor to use standard headphones? How does the bundled headset connect?





Thanks.

good grief, a phone that Sandra likes! At least she can't be accused of dishing out the point too readily.

"I'd go as far as to say this is the best touch interface I've seen on a handset" - uh oh....Apple fanboy alarms going off...cant wait for their comments...hehe





Anyway, don't you think the buttons on the front look very cheap and toy-like?? Also, does it have any office applications? Whats the internet browser like?

I'd also be interested on what the web browser is like but also on things like what the GPS on it is like and how quick/easy the rest of the operating system is like. Looks like one of the first touch screen phones that I could be really interested in (something that's not going to break my bank balence but is usable - I've tried getting to grips with the iPhone/iPod Touch keyboard and found it nigh on impossible to use although I was only using it for about an hour)

There's a few problems with this phone. Needs an update from LG to fix. Video camera shoots out of sync audio/video in all resolution modes except 400x240. Plays some but not all divx/xvid files. They have to be encoded in a certain way to play, haven't worked out exactly how yet, but not in ac3 audio and must be under 640x400. Can't read emails in landscape format. So reading a long mail requires a lot of scrolling down the narrow portrait view. Google Maps does not support the gps feature on this phone yet. Lg headphone adapter sticks out the side of phone, which makes it tricky to rest the phone tilted on a flat surface whilst watching a movie.





Good features but not perfect. 18 months to go till upgrade....

Had this great mobile for a month now. As said above touch screen is very good and camera best around. Low light performance is good if you select highest ISO speed. Music sound very good with Dolby. My problems are minor, but annoying. Silly little seperate stylus needed a parking slot in the phone. Screen protector needed replacing after a week and not many spares available yet. Typing text needs a highlighting, copying and pasting facility. Difficulty in downloading all web BBC videos because my IP address from O2 is in in UK, but I am in UK. BBC say they only download to UK IP addresses. O2 is owned by Telefonics!! BBC iPlayer will not run. Lots of file formats will not run. I think some of this could be put right in a software update from LG!


Still well worth owning - its a real head turner!

the worst phone i have ever used. if you get a sms while making one it throws the phone into mental mode. the t9 plays up when it happens, it sends sms s to the wrong people and more- if you get a sms while writing one you have to shut it down and start again. the software for the pc is very very poor making pic transfer hard and tiresome to transfer or use. the call register is very poor and not really for the serious. the camera is very poor and the old sony errics of 2 mp were better, there is a lot of time between taking pics making it frustrating if you want to take more, and even most disspointing when you see the results on the pc. saying that the video mode is good is a straight out lie and the n95 is far better. thew touch screen is fine even for big fingers but needs a lot more thinking from lg to be good- trying to get a phone number out of the adress book and calling is a frustrating experiance and saves you money as you just dont want to call anyone. overall- i had mine for 2 weeks and it shid off the car roof to a fitting end, there is a god and thats where my phone is now, i just hope it dont hit anyone when he throws it out as well. overall rating from someone who has used a lot of phones. 1 out of 10.... DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS PHONE... i will try lg again in another 20 years, maybe they can get it right then.

Thought I was just having 'new phone' syndrome, but after a month this really is a poor phone - it's just very difficult to say why! It's a jack of all trades, but slow and annoying at everything. I don't want to see 'LOADING' for (literally) 3 minutes every time I try to play music - but the sound is great, I want to be able to take a 2nd photo straight after the first - but the pics are OK. If you have used an iPhone and smiled you will loathe the touchscreen - but Apple have the patent on the capacitative sensing screen. There are bugs in the firmware, and the LG update doesn't. No increasing ring on the <<ALARM>>, missed calls reply to the wrong person, occasional unrecoverable crashes, appalling phonebook, GPS is pointless, web browsing awkward... I am actually keeping this as a spare and going back to my Sony Ericsson K850i. Maybe with V2.0 firmware..
