LG Secret, the Thinnest 5 Megapixel Slider Phone

Today, LG officially announced its KF750 flagship handset, branded as "LG Secret". The phone is, without any doubt, the world's thinnest 5 Mexapixel slider phone to date, as it only measures 11.9 millimeters in thickness. Only two other 5 Megapixel handsets are slimmer than the Secret: Sony Ericsson C902 and Samsung F480, both being candybars.

Besides the 5 Megapixels, which allow users to take photos at a maximum 2592 x 1944 resolution, LG Secret's camera also features auto focus, face detection and video recording (30fps in VGA mode and 120fps in QVGA). Furthermore, the new LG comes with a wide range of goodies, like a 2.4 inch TFT touchscreen display with 262K colors and 240 x 320 pixels, tri-band GSM connectivity (900 / 1800 / 1900 MHz) and HSDPA 2100 for 3.6 Mbps data transfer speeds, Video player (supports MPEG-4 and DivX at 640 x 480 pixels), Music player with most of the formats supported, pre-installed Google applications, accelerometer for automatic display rotation, 100MB of internal memory and microSD card slot for up to 4GB. Other features include FM Radio with RDS, email, WAP 2.0 browser, document viewer, Bluetooth 2.0, USB 2.0 and a 800 mAh battery that should provide up to 229 minutes of talk-time and up to 260 hours of stand-by time.

LG Secret weighs 116 grams and its full dimensions are 102.8 x 50.8 x 11.8 millimeters. The phone looks very nice, both when slided and when closed, having a simple but highly elegant design. Its case is made out of exclusive metallic and glass materials, plus carbon fiber (on the back panel).

LG Secret / KF750 will be available in the following months for a retail price of 549 Euros ($860), first in select countries across Europe. After that, the slim slider will reach both Asia and South America, with other markets to follow shortly.
