LG KC550 review: No thrills, all camera

30 July 2008
A line of multimedia-oriented handsets has secured LG a strong foothold in the cameraphone kingdom. LG KC550 is probably the first to join the club with only imaging in mind. A mid-range handset with a 5 megapixel camera...

      In the uk the se k850 is twice the price and the samsungs don't come close. I don't use video so am ok with that issue and am delighted with this phone.

        I am very unhappy about the Video performance. I buy this KC550 according to the spec. PRINTED on the box. It is 30fps. But now I can only get 15fps for all resolutions. It is a fake!

            I bought this phone 2 weeks ago(so im assuming its the retail variant) and i cannot get 30fps, only 15fps as specified. Other than that its a great phone for the price.

                I personally think the Samsung G600 is a good phone to compare the KC550 to.

                  Nice review, though you say the K850 is an alternative, you will have to put up with the very awkward and problematic touch keys and the video recording is so much worse than the KC550.

                      That is pretty affordable! too bad.....

                      I bought the Viewty instead of the k850i... And now I regret it.
                      My Viewty have horrible battery life.
                      And even worse, for no reason on a random day, it decided not to pick up any networks. So it does everything EXCEPT making phone calls.

                        LG KC550 has a much better camera than the LG Secret
