LGE's camera phones make inroads into Italy (insight@koreaherald.co.kr) By Yang Sung-jin Staff reporter, 2003.04.05 koreaherald.co.kr LG Electronics (LGE), a major handset maker in Korea, said yesterday that it has started supplying rotational camera-mounted GPRS (general packet radio service) color phone sets to a Italian communications company called "Wind." LGE hopes that the move will lead to a bigger share in the upscale GSM (global system for mobile communications) phone market with its advanced technology and differentiated designs. The high-tech GPRS G8000 model camera phone features a high-performance 110,000-pixel camera and 65,000-color TFD-LCD screen that stores moving images. It is also fitted with a 40-poly sound-source chip, which can support various multimedia functions. In addition, the dual folder-type G8000 can transmit data at the speed of 115 kbps. It is also equipped with a super-large 10-line color LCD, allowing users to display various color multimedia data such as virtual characters and photos. LG's latest handset also features a built-in digital camera and video camcorder function that can make video clips. "We have recently marketed the third-generation (3G) WCDMA (wideband code-division multiple access) device (U8100) that enables communications with moving images. This time, we also exported our GPRS camera-phone sets to Italy. We expect to establish our reputation in the European market through the camera color phones with hi-tech applications that are guaranteed to get the industry's attention," said Yi Ho, LGE's vice president and GSM overseas marketing team manager. LG Electronics is set to export various camera-equipped color handsets to major global mobile markets including Europe, China and the United States in the first half of this year.
