The LG KU990 or LG KE990 (known and marketed as the LG Viewty) is a 3.5G touchscreen smartphone by LG Electronics, announced on August 23, 2007[1] and then released in Europe and Asia.[2] A high-end model at the time of its release, the Viewty had a resistive touchscreen and was specially marketed for its camera due to its powerful camera features.[3] The Viewty had a high gloss black look similar to the previous LG Prada,[4] although it was also released in many other colours. In South Korea, it was known as the Beauty Phone (Korean: 뷰티폰).[5]
