LG has just unveiled their KG920 phone model for the mobile phone market in India. The phone looks considerably high-tech and manages to pack a wide range of high-end performances which will make some people thrill over it, no matter how high their demands might be.

LG KG920 may not be among the slimmest and lightest mobile phones out there, at its 108 x 50 x 18 mm and 138 grams. Still, its rather bulky and complicated design manages to make it look high-tech and somewhat stylish. The menu button is placed at the right side, instead of the middle, below the display, as most handsets usually prefer.

This phone's most appealing feature is by far its 5 megapixel camera with autofocus and 4x zoom. This is also capable of capturing videos at VGA level and 30 fps. The flash light is effective at a distance of up to 1.5 meters, which makes it possible for the user to capture images even in more unfriendly conditions.

Moreover, there is also the considerable advantage of having to choose between six different shot modes. The user can set its phone to shoot pictures in the auto, close-up, landscape, sports and dusk modes. The possibility of customizing the settings for a mobile phone's camera are seldom seen, although they increase the chances of managing a high quality capture.

Other specifications for LG KG920 include a 2-inch display screen capable of a resolution of 240 x 320 pixels. The camera is also capable of rotation to 180 degrees, as to provide an evolved solution for seeing the capture from any position. There is also an MP3 player included and a microSD card slot, which will surely prove useful for storing all the media content.

LG KG920 will be available from now on in India too, for the price of Rs.22,000.
