LG Adds High-Res Capability, DivX Playback to Camera Phone

LG Electronics, Inc. and DivX, Inc., are partnering to enable a high-quality consumer media experience with the LG Viewty, a new 5.0 megapixel digital camera phone that 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 enables consumers to easily 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 such as Stage6.com at 10x the speed of WCDMA through the HSDPA 3.6 high speed Internet access capability. DivX is a widely popular digital media format that enables consumers to create, share and play back high-quality video content across an ecosystem of platforms and devices.

"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," says 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."
