LG Mobile announced the first 5 Mega-Pixel digital camera phone to arrive in the UK, the LG KG920. The handset comes in silver colors, with a unique camera-style form - the KG920 boasts an innovative twist design that allows the camera to rotate up to 180 degrees. Within its slim, compact body, weighing 130 grams, the KG920 packs a powerful 4x digital zoom.

For sport enthusiasts wanting to photograph their favorite team in action, the handset offers a sports mode for fast paced shots. For night shots, the integrated flash can reach up to distances of 1.5 meters. The twist design means the handset can rotate up to 180 degrees, allowing one to take self portrait photos or alternatively, to ensure group shots fit everyone in by allowing the group to see the LCD display whilst posing for the shot.

The KG920 also offers audio entertainment so music lovers can enjoy listening to their favorite tunes on the MP3/AAC music player, and save a combination of music and photos to the 256MB memory card included with the handset. The pictures can be visualized on a 2.0 inch QVGA TFT display capable of showing 262k colors. The phone has a standby time of 180 hours and a talk time of 180 minutes.

John Barton, Sales and Marketing Director at LG Mobile, said: "By launching the LG KG920, we have demonstrated that LG Mobile is the UK leader with unprecedented photographic innovation. With the KG920 offering 5 Mega-Pixel camera quality, consumers no longer need to carry a separate digital camera, which not only benefits keen photographers who want to travel light but also sets a precedent for all future camera phones."

The LG KG920 will be available from early August at The Carphone Warehouse.
