K-Touch's 8 megapixel C280 cameraphone flaunts Canon image processing

Remember when Samsung was pumping out cameraphones with increasingly ridiculous megapixel counts? At the moment, phones top-out at about 5 megapixels. Until this, the 8 megapixel C280 with 3x optical zoom and claimed 1600 ISO support (right) from the previously unheard of K-Touch. Ironically, it might very well be using a CMOS sensor from Samsung. Perhaps more interesting though is the fact that it'll be using Canon's own DIGIC III image processing when it hits the Chinese market.

LG launches handful of (sorta) new handsets

As we noticed with the KE820 / KG99, it appears that LG has really started to embrace the concept of spitting out virtually identical phones with seemingly unrelated model designations. Case in point: the KE600, one of several new models LG is touting this week, which we reckon to be a dead ringer for the KV2400 we uncovered a few months back. Likewise, the 200MB KU830 looks pretty much like a KG810 to us -- though it's probably the same thing as the U830 we scooped in September. Other less familiar hardware includes the pictured KU311, a clamshell with an OLED display (which almost has a Nokia air about it, in our humblest of opinions), and the CDMA C280.
