SpecEagle Editorial·Dec 2007·$500·Score 36/100
The LG Viewty was a 2007 touchscreen cameraphone that punched above its class — a 5 MP Schneider-Kreuznach lens with a Xenon flash and 120 fps slow-motion capture. The resistive screen and closed OS limited it, but as a pre-smartphone imaging device it was ambitious.
