Reportedly, LG has released some information to TechRadar that they are going to come out with a cell phone, which boasts a 12MP camera.  For those of us who like taking good quality pictures on the go, having a cell phone with a high end camera is a necessity. 

Jeremy Newing, LG’s Mobile Head of Marketing in the UK has released some statements, which describe what LG has in store in this phone.  In order to start promoting the 12MP phone, Newing begins with an analogy that “when you’re buying a car, if you’ve got two equal cars then you’ll obviously go for the one with the bigger engine.”  Makes sense, who doesn’t want the ability to drive faster?  In addition, he goes on to make a statement that is very true, he says “when taking 12MP images, they’ll be using huge amounts of data, and it will be more difficult to do things like send such files.”  As you probably know if you own a fairly new digital camera, these images take up a good amount of memory, so you can imagine how long it would take to send these kids of pictures. 

Of course, 12MP could mean nothing if the other features in the phone aren’t good, such as optical zoom, touch features, web browsing, aesthetics, etc.  Cell phone cameras with a high MP aren’t very common at this time, but they are steadily becoming more available.  For photography enthusiasts, a cell phone camera of high quality is definitely worth in investing.  Newing adds in one last statement to put closure on the phone, “However, we obviously can’t afford not to be part of the 12MP cameraphone infrastructure, and we will do that and add differentiation, through things like beauty enhancer and smile shot.”

It will be interesting to see where LG goes with this and how good of a phone it can potentially turn into.
