LG Electronics announced its first premium camera mobile phone on Thursday and an executive Chang Ma told Reuters the company aimed for 10-15 percent of this market segment within about a year.
Ma, who is in-charge of design strategy at LG's mobile communications division, said the phone was designed for ease of sending, sharing and viewing pictures and video. It has a touch screen, a 5.1 mega pixel camera and a hot key for uploading video to YouTube.
LG also launched a new smartphone, the LG-KS20, with touch screen and high-speed HSDPA Internet access. The KS20 is the first device based on Microsoft's Windows Mobile platform LG has launched in Europe.
