Good news for the people who are contemplating over doubling up their phones as cameras as well reason being the whole new LG KC780. The LG KC780, the slimmest 8-megalpixel-camera phone was touted in the slider format. And in addition to this minor flicker, there was little else known however, the official release has confirmed everything concluding up to be the best in the business.

The phone is in-built with a special feature making it ideal for shooting portraits as well as it sports out faced and smile detection technologies to enhance the camera applications. Even more interesting is The Smile Shot feature that clicks photos automatically when the subject smiles. With all these, the phone measures only 13.9 mm in thickness.

You may be a bit disappointed by the missing features such as 3G, Wi-Fi connectivity as well as GPS navigation however there are other things to compensate for them.
