While we heard about it last week, LG has officially announced the Renoir today. Also known as the LG KC910, this handset is rather impressive and takes great strides toward bringing LG into the limelight.

This phone most notably features an 8-megapixel camera. And while this couldn’t exactly compete with a digital camera, it is still primed for taking great shots on the fly. Funnily enough, the megapixel count is the majority of the focus in promotional materials. However, this phone does sport a few other cool features.

For instance, the LG Renoir has 3G HSDPA, WiFi, and A-GPS. It also has numerous photography features like a Xenon flash, Schneider-Kreuznach certified optics, auto focus and geo-tagging ability. This is actually a rather exciting device, as it is one in a whole slew of handsets recently announced that are to feature a high quality camera.
