LG Electronics and DivX will enable a high-quality consumer media experience with the LG Viewty, model LG-KU990, a new 5.0 mega-pixel digital camera phone.

The DivX Mobile Certified LG Viewty supports DivX playback and joins the over 100 million DivX Certified devices shipped into the market today, including DVD players, in-car devices, digital still cameras and more.

The LG Viewty’s multimedia capabilities reflect the extensive partnership between LG Electronics and DivX. The LG Viewty enables consumers to playback a wide range of DivX files from the PC on the go or output to a TV monitor without converting to another format. Consumers can also view DivX files from popular online video communities at ten times the speed of WCDMA through the HSDPA 3.6 high speed internet access capability.

The LG Viewty is the first in LG’s new line of high technology handsets and it has some unique features: 120 fps video recording as well as new camera functionality such as manual focus, image stabilizer and handwriting recognition that makes editing easy on the Viewty’s 3-inch wide LCD touch screen.

“Our aim is to provide the highest quality images to users of the LG Viewty and have made every effort to ensure cutting-edge technology is applied to meet this vision,” said Skott Ahn, CEO of LG Electronics Mobile Communications Company. “Our partnership with DivX and the Viewty’s support for DivX video is an important feature in creating a state-of-the-art media experience for our consumers.”

“DivX is working to build a common digital media language that offers real interoperability across products and platforms, and innovative devices like the LG Viewty are an important piece of that ecosystem.” said Kevin Hell, Acting CEO at DivX, Inc. “Our goal is to enable consumers to enjoy their media content on any device or platform, from the PC to the living room and on the go. We’re excited to further our strong relationship with LG in pursuit of that vision.”

LG Viewty will go on sale from mid-October starting from Europe and on to other regions.
