LG’s affordable slider is a decent-looking cameraphone, proving again that the Korean electronics giant can make a phone that’s a manageable size and a bearable price which still manages to squeeze in a high-resolution camera. The KC780 has an 8-megapi...

A little bit chunky and thanks to the lack of 3G a little bit slow, but the KC780 still has a lot to recommend it. Not least, it delivers a competent 8-megapixel camera in a serviceable, if not exactly fashionable, case for a decent price. The camera i...

Just a couple of weeks ago I took a look at LG's attempt to bring the touchscreen to the masses in the shape of the Cookie KP500 . Before that we had the all signing, all dancing Renior KC910 . Both of those phones have touchscreens, and the Renoir has a...

Buy the LG KC780 for the purpose of having a good quality camera and all your snapping needs should be met. However, if you want something beyond that you may ultimately be disappointed. Theres no 3G or HSDPA for starters so youll be surfing the web...

Dan gets hands on with LGs other 8 megapixel snapper - the KC780. LG describes it as a "slim 8 megapixel slider" camera phone - Dans not so sure about the slim part of that claim (the words clunky and basic are used). So, as youll see...

LG’s making a habit of this. Having taken touchscreen phones into the mass market with the release of the Cookie, the maker of the upscale Renoir is now aiming to do the same with eight-megapixel handsets, with the help of its more affordable KC780. LG...

The KC780 has no 3G and none of the high-end gadgetry you get on other eight-megapixel mobiles. All it really has to offer is that 8Mp camera and a low cost. Thankfully, it’s able to take fine, detailed shots, and if camera snapping is your thing, b...

I wasn't overly impressed by the 8-megapixel LG KC780. It was given a very quiet release as the less attractive sibling of the touchscreen Renoir and for a fairly good reason.Someone on YouTube asked me some very valid questions about other features of th...

Do you recall the times when VGA camera phones were the cream of the crop of what people could buy? Well, it´s been a while since then. The period has seen camera megapixels increase to as many as 8 now, the best you can get as of now. The thing is pho...

As a whole, we are content with the device. Unfortunately it failed to perform properly in both key areas, namely camera and video playback. The LG KC780 should be capable of DivX playback, but its software couldn´t even find the video files. Snapping...
