The newly announced LG KF750 Secret became the second LG handset (after Viewty) to get DivX certification.

This means users will be able to upload and watch their favorite DivX movies on their mobile phone. That is without having to convert the video and watch it nonetheless. ;)

I wonder, why it is so important for LG to certify their handsets with DivX.

A new cameraphone from LG has been introduced today by the Photography Blog, the LG KF750 codenamed Secret. There isn’t much info available right now, so we'll just specify what we know at the moment:

• 11.8-mm slider;
• 5Mpix camera capable of shooting DivX video at 120 fps;
• 2.4" touch-screen with haptic feedback;
• Suite of mobile Google apps;
• Bluetooth

The phone should be released in Europe in May.

LG and DivX announced that the LG-KU990 Viewty 5Mpix cameraphone is now capable of recording high-quality videos at 120 fps in DivX® format.

After the video is captured, it can de uploaded to online video sites or can be played back on any DivX Certified CE device, such as DVD players, gaming consoles and PMPs.

The forthcoming LG Viewty is a cool looking mobile phone, one of the very few handsets to support DivX playback.

This means that users will be able to watch their favorite DivX movies directly on the phones.

Viewty is DivX certified, so there will be no compatibility problems.

DivX has recently certified the new Samsung Ultra Video SGH-F508 mobile phone making it the second Samsung DivX handset on the market.

DivX Certification allows for playback of high quality DivX videos on the phone and also guarantees that the F508 will be compatible with more than 90 million DivX Certified devices.
