The electronics company LG has just released a new device which is raising the bar in mobile technology. The device is called the LG L-03C and is a whole new spin on mobile technology. The camera (phone?) looks like a typical point and shoot camera, but can also make cell phone calls. The phone (camera?) can take pictures in a 12 megapixel resolution with 3x zoom. On top of that the device can record video in 720p high definition. The device has a retro look to it and looks much more like a classic film camera than a device which can make phone calls with 3g and Bluetooth capability. I think that this device will have a huge effect on the mobile market and may change how cell phone and camera makers alike will design their devices.
The L-03C has set a new bar for companies to reach relating to device capabilities. I can predict that this device will be popular among the crown of people who are more interested in taking amazing sharp photographs than having to deal with the shoddy cameras on most mobile devices today. I personally know many people who carry both a small camera and their phones on them at all times. This device may eliminate the need for both a camera and a phone. I know that when I go to incidents as a firefighter that I would love to have my camera on me. With a camera phone such as this one I can whip out my phone and take pictures in a high resolution. The 03c will also change mobile information sharing in that I can take a huge sharp picture and send it to my blog or Facebook account in a matter of seconds via 3g. I hope this device makes its way to this side of the world because I’m confident it will be a big hit. Devices such as this one are erasing the lines between 2 different technologies. Phones are now cameras and cameras are now phones. People can now decide whether or not they want a beautiful camera or a phone which has slightly more capabilities.
I really like this idea of having a camera that also functions as a phone, rather than a phone with a mediocre camera. It doesn't sacrifice quality and is convenient becuase honestly, phone service can't be compromised nearly as much as a lower megapixel size. I would definitely get something like this.
ReplyDeleteIt will definitely be interesting to see the response. I could see where some people don't think it's "cool" to be talking into a camera. Will this device provide the same "status" as some of the newer Smart Phones? Not sure. Like the previous comment, however, those who want better quality and camera features are going to definitely go for this but I'm not convinced it would be an instant hit....
