News Update Hands On : Getting To Know The Nexus 5 And Nexus 6

Google's new Nexus phones are here -- and they make quite the first impression.

It's that time, Android fans -- yes, oh, yes: Time to get to know Google's newest Nexus devices.

This year, we've got not one but two saucy seductresses competing for our affection: the smaller and more modest LG-made Nexus 5X and the larger and more premium Huawei-made Nexus 6P. The devices have a fair amount in common, to be sure, but they also have their own unique flourishes and personalities.

Nexus phones are not the kind of devices you take lightly, so I'll be taking my time and spending several days with both of these beauts before reaching any conclusions. (Like most reviewers, I received the two devices together Friday morning.) For now, here are the first things I've noticed as I've been getting to know the Nexii o' 2015:

The size:

It may seem obvious, but size is a huge factor (so to speak) with both the Nexus 5X and Nexus 6P -- and it's going to be an enormously important variable for anyone deliberating between these devices.

In fact, size was the very first thing that crossed my mind when I pulled the Nexus 5X out of its box. In what's becoming an increasingly rare phenomenon with smartphones these days, the phone is actually really comfortable to hold -- no asterisks, rationalizations, or "not that bad, considering..."-style statements required. It's just a sensible size that fits naturally in your hand. It's also surprisingly light.

The Nexus 6P -- well, it falls into that "not that bad, considering..." category. It's not as comfy or ergonomic as the 5X, but as far as plus-sized smartphones go, it's -- you know, really not that bad. I'm able to get used to it pretty quickly. For perspective, the 6P is relatively close in size to Samsung's Galaxy Note 5, only about a quarter of an inch taller, a hair wider, and a quarter of an ounce heavier.

As for how the two fare in different types of real-world use -- glamorous situations like trying to use them single-handedly while carrying a flailing baby or seeing how they feel in your pocket while flailing your own limbs at the gym -- that's precisely the kind of thing I'll be thinking about as I carry each one around over the coming days.

The materials:

No two ways about it: The Nexus 6P is one nice phone. It has an aluminum (or aluminium, if you prefer) body and strong textured buttons on its side. Whereas size was the first thing that struck me upon handling the 5X, quality is what jumped out at me as soon as I grabbed the 6P out of its packaging. This thing looks and feels premium through and through.

The Nexus 5X certainly doesn't seem cheap at first impression -- far from it -- but it does come across as noticeably more mundane in construction. Its plastic back looks nice and has a pleasant warm feel in the hand, but "premium" probably isn't the word you'd use to describe it. The same goes for details like the side buttons, which are somewhat recessed and noticeably less firm-feeling than the ones on the 6P.

Remember, though: The 5X starts at $379 off-contract. The 6P starts at $499. These phones are in different classes by design.

The software :

More than anything, Nexus devices are designed to showcase the software -- and there's a reason: A pure Google Android setup really is a treat to use, more so than ever with the shiny new Android 6.0 Marshmallow OS that ships on both the Nexus 5X and Nexus 6P. You're getting Google's unadulterated vision of how Android should look and work -- and that truly makes you appreciate just how great the OS has become when you don't have manufacturers and carriers meddling around and (more often than not) mucking things up.

And while Nexus phones are typically less loaded with features than other Android devices, Google has started to implement its own versions of some of the more useful enhancements -- like a quick way to get to the camera (double-tapping the power button) and a Moto Display-reminiscent system for seeing notifications at a glance (much more on that soon).

That's just the start :

Man, there's a lot to discuss with these new Nexus devices. From how their under-the-hood differences affect day-to-day use to how their very different displays stack up in various conditions -- not to mention the all-important question of how well they both fare with photography, especially given Google's grand promises in that department -- we've got plenty to consider.

The big question, of course, is how all the qualities come together and what each phone is like to use in regular life. More than anything, that's what I'll be working to answer as I live with these bad boys over the coming days.

Both devices make fantastic first impressions. Now the true test begins. Lots more thoughts and impressions -- and my full real-world review -- are on the way.

News LG Handset Released Update : LG G4 And G4 Stylus Prices Slashed In India

LG today announced price reductions on the LG G4 and G4 Stylus in India. The LG G4 is now made available at Rs 45,000 (for the Leather back variant) and Rs 40,000 (for the Ceramic white variant), the LG G4 Stylus will be priced at Rs 21,000. Launch prices for the LG G4 and G4 Stylus in India were Rs 51,000 and Rs 24,990 respectively.

With this move, LG aims to offer consumers a chance to buy its products at festive prices. More so, this looks likes a competitive strategy to take on some of the similar offerings but other smartphone companies.

Mr. Amit Gujral, Marketing Head, LG Mobiles, India said, “This festive season we wanted to give consumers something to cheer about. The G4 and G4 Stylus are our best offerings in India this year and we have received a phenomenal response to these smartphones till now. With a further revision in prices, we are extending the availability to more and more people to enjoy the superior immersive & innovative experience these phones offer.”

The G4 sports a 5.5-inch display with 2560 x 1440 pixels of resolution, same as its predecessor. The device boasts of Slim Arc design, which means it has a slight curve, but not as much as the G Flex. This subtle curve will ensure the display is less likely to break upon fall. It is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 808 processor coupled with 3GB of RAM. It will be available with 32GB onboard storage, expandable via microSD card slot up to 128GB.

On the camera front, the G4 comes with a new 16-megapixel sensor with f/1.8 lens and improved image stabilisation. It gets a new ‘color spectrum sensor’ with more accurate color and white balance. For selfie lovers, it comes with an 8MP front camera. The device runs Android 5.1 Lollipop along with a layer of LG’s custom interface. It uses something that LG calls ‘human-centric UX’ 4.0, promising a more intuitive experience. A 3,000mAh removable battery completes the package.

On the other hand, the LG G4 Stylus, sports a 5.7-inch display with 720 x 1280 pixels of resolution. Needless to say, it accommodates a rubberdium stylus for taking notes. The G4 Stylus runs Android Lollipop and gets its UI from the 2015 flagship G4 that features UX 4.0.

The 4G LTE variant comes powered by a 1.2GHz quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 processor and 1GB RAM. It gets a 13-megapixel rear snapper and a 5-megapixel front-facing camera. The 8GB onboard storage is expandable via microSD card. Finally, a 3000mAh removable battery completes the package.

Update New Handset Announce : LG G4 First Impressions: Snapdragon 808 SoC, Handcrafted Leather Back, 16MP Camera And More

LG launched its latest flagship phone – the LG G4 – at the NSCI Sports Complex in Mumbai which was relatively packed by media persons and guests, despite the heavy Mumbai rains. LG G4, which was first announced towards the th LG phones since the G2, is on the rear side. The power/standby button in the centre is surrounded by the volume rocker buttons. Just above this is the camera which we will come to later. On the front, you have a 5.5-inch IPS Quantum display and just like we have seen with the G3, the bezels are thin at the top and bottom thereby giving a higher body to screen ratio. 

LG G3 had a beautiful design and the LG G4 just builds upon it. The slim arc aesthetic around the edges, paired with the hand-crafted leather back, gives the phone a good grip, something we felt was missing in the LG G3 with its slippery grip. According to LG, it uses vegetable tanning on the leather which helps keep the quality immune from future damage by either moisture or hot weather. The stitched centre with the G4 embossing on the bottom right hand corner adds a bit of class to the already good looking phone. Apart from a leather back, you also get a plastic back cover. There are three colour variants with the plastic as well as leather backs and they are removable.

The button placement, which has become a standard with LG phones since the G2, is on the rear side. The power/standby button in the centre is surrounded by the volume rocker buttons. Just above this is the camera which we will come to later. On the front, you have a 5.5-inch IPS Quantum display and just like we have seen with the G3, the bezels are thin at the top and bottom thereby giving a higher body to screen ratio.

Display : 

LG G4 has a 5.5-inch Quad HD display which gives you a high 535 pixels per inch. The colours appear vibrant and there was no pixelation whatsoever even on close observation. The text also appears crisp, without any dithering on the fonts. According to LG, this is an IPS Quantum display which tends to improve on the contrast ratio and vibrancy of the display over competition. We will have to check that for ourselves when we test the phone. But overall, the display looked quite good.

Chipset, RAM :

Powering the LG G4 is a Qualcomm Snapdragon 808 chipset which has a dual-core ARM Cortex A57 and quad-core A53 with processor with 64-bit support and also houses Adreno 418 GPU. This chipset is one-tier below the Snapdragon 810, but during the brief time that we used the phone, the response was buttery smooth despite the custom skin, application launches were quick, camera launched quickly and so on. So hopefully there should be little to no issues with lag, but we will have to use it in real world cases, run the relevant benchmarks and put the phone through the rigmarole of tests to arrive at a final conclusion.

The processor is paired with 3GB of RAM which will be more than enough for all your tasks as well as heavy apps. The LG G4 comes with 32GB storage and out of this around 20.4GB is available to the user, but LG has added in a microSD card slot in case you feel the capacity isn’t much.

OS, connectivity :

LG G4 comes with Android 5.1 OS and naturally you will get LG’s custom UX 4.0 skin atop the Android OS. The iconography and the flat design theme is the same as was seen on the LG G3 and its variants. But swiping to the left most home screen will get you to the Smart Bulletin screen. This basically has a lot of LG specific app data such as pocket calendar, Music settings, LG health, Quick remote and so on. Once set up, you can access data relevant to these apps in the Smart bulletin run down or else you can also get it as part of Smart Notice which will send you birthday reminders, appointment data, weather alert, LG health notifications and so on. If this sounds familiar, then it is. Hint: Google Now.

The phone comes with Qualcomm X10 LTE chipset for 4G LTE SIM cards. It has a dual SIM configuration. Apart from this, you get Wi-fi 802.11ac, Bluetooth 4.1, A-GPS and the regular set of sensors in addition to the colour spectrometer sensor.

Camera :

If there is one thing that was talked about the most, then it has to be the camera. A 16MP camera with laser-detect auto focus feature graces the rear side of the G4, present just above the volume rocker buttons. On the left hand side of the camera you have a laser AF port and on the right hand side, you have the LED flash unit and a colour spectrum sensor. According to LG, this infrared-sensitive colour sensor ensures that the colours seen by the camera are accurate under most lighting situations. Considering the lighting around the demo zone was terrible we did not really get to experience this. We will need to hold our thoughts on this till we see it in action.

The laser auto-focus ensures that the AF acquisition time is minimal. As we had noticed with the LG G3, the AF speeds on the G4 are also quite fast. In the dim lighting, the LG G4 was still able to capture focus quickly. It will be interesting to put the camera through its paces. The rear camera also comes with optical image stabilisation chops along three axes. On the front face you have an 8MP camera for selfies and it supports gesture based shooting. Making a fist closing and opening gesture for instance clicks four selfies in a second.

The camera user interface is the same as we had seen with the LG G3. You get the manual mode as well in case you want to tweak the settings yourself. You can also save the manual mode pictures in the RAW format. Apart from this, the video camera is capable of shooting 4K videos.

Battery :

LG G4 offers a 3000 mAh Lithium ion battery which is removable, something that we don’t generally see with flagship devices these days. We did not see any dedicated power saving mode apart from the battery saver feature which is present on most Android 5.0 handsets.

Conclusion :

The LG G4 looks and feels every bit the flagship device that one expects. Although the design playbook hasn’t changed much from its previous flagship iterations, the hand-crafted leather back will surely attract a lot of prospective buyers. LG G4 comes at a steep Rs 51,000 price point, which was somewhat expected considering the LG G3 had also launched around Rs 48,000. Will the G4 justify the price point, and does its camera have the armour to knock the socks of that of its competition? We will have to reserve that opinion till we get our hands on a review unit and spend a considerable time with this flagship device.

News Handset Release Update : LG's New Windows Phone, The Lancet, Only Costs $120 Off-Contract

 Summary:Yes, you get what you pay for. Still, the Lancet includes HD Voice calling while Windows Phone runs capably on lesser hardware.

 I almost did a double-take when I saw the price of the new LG Lancet Windows Phone. The handset is specific to Verizon and costs either $5 a month on the carrier's Edge plan or $120 in full, without a contract.

Surely, this is a bare-bones phone, right? Almost, but not exactly.

No, the LG Lancet won't compare with flagship devices costing hundreds more. But it's no slouch either because as I found it with a $40 Lumia 520, Windows Phone runs fairly well on limited hardware.

 The Lancet is the first Windows Phone that supports Verizon's Advanced Calling 1.0; a fancy marketing term for HD Voice calling. It runs Windows 8.1 so it also includes Cortana, Microsoft's personal assistant software and everything else Microsoft has packed inside its mobile operating system.

The phone has a 4.5-inch display with a minimally acceptable 854 x 480 resolution, so don't expect immersive HD video playback. Inside is a 1.2 GHz quad-core chip and 8 GB of storage with half of that available to for use. The Lancet does have a microSD card slot, so you can add an addition 128 GB of storage capacity.

LG chose an 8 megapixel image sensor for the rear camera while a VGA front-facing camera should be enough for basic video chats. Expect 18.5 hours of run-time on the 2100 mAh battery, says LG.

Again, there are far better Windows Phones on the market. None of them have HD Voice on Verizon's network though; at least not yet.

Actually, Verizon customers don't really have many Windows Phone choices to begin with. A quick check of the carrier's online storefront shows three, including the new LG Lancet. Both of the other options are old devices with full retail pricing of $499.99 and $599.99. And the Lumia Icon, one of the better Windows Phones for Verizon, is no longer offered.

For $120 off-contract, the Lancet might be worth a look if you use Verizon's network and don't mind a relatively low resolution display and meager but capable chip to power the phone. It's no flagship Lumia of course. For that you'll have to wait. And you'll likely have to pay far more to get it.

News Handset Release Update : This Might Be The Best Smartphone Camera On The Planet

If the No. 1 thing you care about in a smartphone is the camera, you'll probably want to buy an LG G4.

The new smartphone, which LG showed off for the first time on Tuesday, has the makings of a revolutionary camera.

 Warning: It's nerd stat time. The G4's 16-megapixel camera can snap photos in 0.276 seconds, and the camera app launches in just 0.6 seconds. It has a Laser autofocus. It's got a color spectrum sensor that helps the phone sense what the photo will look like before you take it. And it has a three-axis image stabilization so you can take smooth shots while driving over potholes.

Most impressively, it has an aperture of ƒ/1.8 (lower is better, since it lets in more light). The average smartphone has an aperture of ƒ/2.4. The iPhone 6 has an aperture of ƒ/2.2 and the Galaxy S6 is ƒ/1.9. Combined with an image sensor that's 40% larger than the average phone, and you've got yourself a pretty nice camera.

LG showed off some stunning photographs taken with the G4, illustrating how well the camera performed even in some of the lowest-light situations. The company says its camera takes photos that are 49% brighter than the competition.

The trouble with smartphone cameras is that they're pretty limited in the settings department. They let you adjust some items, such as the focus and flash, but that's about it.

The G4 gives you full control over the camera, as if you were using a digital SLR. Shutter speed, ISO light sensitivity and white balance are all adjustable, allowing you to take professional-grade photos (if you know what you're doing).

The phone even lets you save raw images instead of converting them to compressed JPEG files (caution: this will eat up your storage very quickly). For photographers who are more skilled than the average point-and-shoot camera user, that's a nice option for desktop photo editing.

The company didn't get cheap with the selfie camera like some other smartphone makers do. The G4 has an 8 MP front camera, and you can wave at the camera to snap a photo (no selfie stick required).

Since the camera is the G4's most outstanding feature, the smartphone lets you get to the camera app quickly: just double-click the volume down button to open the app, and click it again to snap a photo. The double click option is neat -- but it only works if the phone screen is locked.

If you're in another app or on the homescreen, you'll have to tap on the camera app. It's not a huge deal, but the Motorola Moto X, Samsung Galaxy S6 and all Microsoft (MSFT, Tech30) phones have gestures and button taps that open the camera no matter what state your phone is in.

The giant 3,000 milliampere-hour battery is a nice touch too. The company says it will last you more than a day on a single charge -- which is helpful if you're constantly snapping battery-draining photos.

LG hasn't yet said how much the G4 will cost or when it will go on sale. But if you're a photographer, you should stay tuned.

LG hasn't yet said how much the G4 will cost or when it will go on sale. But if you're a photographer, you should stay tuned.

On paper LG has already beaten the Galaxy S6 camera. Still, reality can be very different from theory, so here is everything we know about the exciting LG G4 camera ahead of the phone’s launch tomorrow…

That f/1.8 Lens

It’s clear that one aspect of which the company is most proud is the G4’s main lens. Its f/1.8 aperture is currently the brightest on any smartphone and is a massive improvement on the f/2.4 lens found on the current G3 model. Perhaps more importantly it just pips Samsung’s excellent f/1.9 Galaxy S6 camera at the post- and LG is milking this for all it’s worth in the form of multiple teaser videos such as the one below, based almost entirely on the f/1.8 aperture.

In this second video below, professional photographer Colby Brown takes the G4 for a spin, being sure to mention how “Even a small difference of a F0.1 aperture becomes incredibly important”. This can only be another direct swipe at Samsung, probably timed so as to delay those considering purchasing a Galaxy S6 until after LG has had a chance to show off the G4.

This can only be another direct swipe at Samsung, probably timed so as to delay those considering purchasing a Galaxy S6 until after LG has had a chance to show off the G4.

Manual control

More important to photography enthusiasts is the welcome inclusion of manual control over shutter speed, ISO and white balance, which Brown goes on to demonstrate in a later section of the video. This includes long exposures of up to 30sec used to capture light trails, and smooth milky waterfalls.

Long exposure apps can help to achieve similar effects on other smartphones, but these often require using tricks such as combining video frames into a still image, resulting in a significant loss of resolution.

The fact that the G4 can do this with the built in app gives me hope that the camera might support Google GOOGL -0.31%’s camera2 API which would also pave the way for raw image capture, although this is not mentioned in the video.

However, it’s the automatic mode which is likely to be used most often and the quality of auto-mode snaps are what will ultimately determine the better camera for the vast majority of owners. Apple AAPL -1.77% and now Samsung are extremely good at creating a pleasing automatic snapshot and it remains to be seen how well LG can compete with the G4.

The video also suggests that the G4 offers superior ability to capture colour and that the sensor is able to recognise whether you’re shooting indoors or outside. The latter function sounds rather like regular auto white balance to me, but time will tell.

Handling and start-up time

While the Galaxy S6 boasts what is certainly one of the best smartphone cameras I have ever used, the phone’s ultra-thin, glass-coated body makes for terrible handling when taking photos. It’s incredibly fast to switch into camera mode, but you’ll be slowed down by the fact that you have to be so careful when holding the phone – there’s just nowhere to grip it.

By contrast, the G4 (barring the entry-level model) comes with a leather finish, which I imagine will be much less prone to slipping through the fingers.

The Galaxy S6 is also extremely quick when it comes to launching the camera and taking a photo. A Double-tap of the Home button brings up the camera app right away from wherever you happen to be in the user interface and can get you shots other phones will miss.

In another teaser video below, LG demonstrates the G4’s Quick Shot feature which takes a photo immediately on a double-tap of the phone’s rear button. This looks potentially quicker to get a shot, but without access to the controls and settings you would be able to reach via the camera app.



Removable Battery and Storage

Of the few disadvantages to Samsung’s otherwise almost universally acclaimed Galaxy S6, its non-removable battery and lack of SD card support perhaps stand out the most. Both of these features look like they will be supported by the G4: According to information from renowned leaker Evan Blass, the LG G4 will come with 3000mAh removable battery and the familiar microSD slot.

These features could be a boon for smartphone photographers who want to make extended use of that energy-sapping screen as well as the convenience of adding a potentially unlimited amount of storage to the phone, and may well capture the attention of those who have resisted upgrading from the Galaxy S5 in order to retain these functions. If you already have a pricey 200GB microSD card in your current phone, the G4 will give you somewhere to put it.

More Megapixels

While some speculated that the G4 might sport a 13 megapixel camera, Blass’s leaked information claims the new LG model will come with a 16 megapixel sensor, equalling the resolution of the Galaxy S6. It’s also set to retain the optical image stabilsation and laser-assisted focus of its predecessor. Selfie fans can expect a big front camera boost to 8 megapixels, up from 2.1 on the G3.

Cheaper, and yet also more expensive, than the Galaxy S6

Of course, pricing will be a major factor in how well the G4 sells and according to a report in Phone Arena the 32GB model, without the fancy leather exterior, is set to undercut its Samsung counterpart by around ten to twenty Euros. The price difference tips the other way, however, when you step up to the premium LG model which is said to cost 730 Euros (which is still less than the price of the Galaxy S6 Edge).

What questions remain?

Despite the wealth of pre-launch information, we still don’t know much about video, raw capture support or, more importantly, whether it reliably takes good photos. With any luck, these questions will be answered tomorrow, along with whether or not LG has managed to create a credible alternative to Samsung.

These early details look very promising, but the the Galaxy S6 is a very tough act to follow and it will definitely take more than just an f/1.8 lens to pull it off.

New LG Product Launch : LG Set To Launch Four New Mid-Range Android Handsets For Mobile World Congress

We reported almost a week ago about LG's announcement of a new 'luxury' smartwatch that will be showcased at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, the Watch Urbane. It looks like the company has more up its sleeve, as it has recently announced four new mid-range Android handsets positioned to appear in the event as well, the LG Magna, Spirit, Leon, and Joy.

The specifications for the four handsets are listed below:

LG Magna

• Android 5.0 Lollipop
• 5-inch HD screen (294 ppi)
• 1.2/1.3 GHz quad-core processor (depending on market)
• 8-megapixel rear camera
• 5-megapixel front camera
• 1 GB RAM
• 8 GB internal storage
• 2540 mAh removable battery

LG Spirit

• Android 5.0 Lollipop
• 4.7-inch HD screen (312 ppi)
• 1.2/1.3 GHz quad-core processor (depending on market)
• 8/5 MP rear camera (depending on market)
• 1 MP front camera

All four devices will be available in LTE and 3G variants. The LTE devices will sport metallic back covers, while the latter features patterned plastic back covers.

To keep up with the times and trends, LG kept the "selfie" craze in mind for the four new handsets, and tweaked its Gesture Shot feature, which recognizes gestures to initiate a countdown when taking pictures, to incorporate selfie sticks. According to the press release, the feature can now recognize gestures up to 1.5 meters away to make taking selfies with a selfie stick or monopod easier (Belfie sticks, anyone?).

The range also features LG's Glance View, which displays time, messages, and missed calls even when the display is turned off.

Juno Cho, president and CEO of LG Electronics Mobile Communications, offered his thoughts about the new devices: He stated:

    "LG’s new mid-range collection continues our legacy of offering amazing smartphones at reasonable prices. For millions of consumers around the world, the deciding factor on which smartphone to buy isn’t how fast or how big it is but how balanced it is. With our new mid-range smartphones, more and more customers will be looking to LG for their next handsets.”

Information about the price of the new handsets has not been disclosed. However, LG has stated that rollout will begin this week in selected markets around the globe.

News Smart Phone Update : The new LG Electronics Curved Android Smartphone Is Coming To United States

LG is bringing its brand new curved phone to the United States smartphone market.

Sprint, the third or the fourth largest (depending on who you ask) will be the first to distribute the new LG G Flex 2 in United States. The G Flex 2 or Flex2 is an Android-based smartphone with a curved screen, and front panel. A no-slouch phone, the new G Flex is powered by a latest Qualcomm processor, the Snapdragon 810, and can shoot ‘quality’ photos and videos with its 13-megapixel back facing camera.

Another notable feature of the G Flex 2 is its mobile operating system, the latest Android 5.0, or also called ‘Lollipop’.

The new Android version offers a new interface called ‘Material Design’ — which is neater, and more consistent with Google’s native or web services. The Lollipop OS on G Flex 2 is similar to the original or stock Android 5.0 from Google, but with added software ‘enhancements’ especially on its camera interface.

Similar to other flagship LG handsets, the new curved Android phone is equipped with buttons at the back.

“The curve helps mostly with the ergonomics,” Android Authority said in a quick look review in the video:


Sprint announced that it started accepting pre-orders for the device on Friday, but the exact release date of the handset is set to March 13. The telco also added that the new G Flex is priced at $504, with other payment options like 2-year service agreement with $199.99 pricing, or the $21 per month, 24-month installment option which Sprint calls ‘Easy Pay’.

In addition to Sprint, AT&T and U.S. Cellular will also retail the new curved handset.

The LG G Flex 2 was first introduced in January at the Consumer Electronics Show.

Other than LG, Samsung Electronics also introduced its own curved smartphone, the Galaxy Round, and the side-curved Samsung Galaxy Note Edge, both are running Android mobile operating system.

New Product Released : LG G Pro 2 Gets Android 5.0 Lollipop In Korea

LG G3 is the first smartphone from the Korean manufacturer to get the Android 5.0 Lollipop update, starting with Europe, but it’s certainly not the last one.

LG has started rolling out the latest Android 5.0 Lollipop update for the LG G Pro 2, but it’s only available in South Korea at the moment.

The update is rolling out to all the three variants of the device — LG-F350S, LG-F350K, and LG-F350L. There’s no word from LG about the roll out for owners in other parts of the globe, but now that it’s rolling out in Korea, it shouldn’t take too much time for the update to reach other parts of the globe.

LG G Pro 2 was launched last year and features a very decent set of specifications, including a 5.9-inch 1080p display, Snapdragon 800 SoC, 13 MP rear camera with OIS+, 3 GB of RAM, 32 GB of internal memory, and a 3200 mAh battery.

As for the Android Lollipop update, it comes with several enticing features, including the all-new Material Design, improved lock screen notifications, better multitasking, ART runtime by default for improved performance, security improvements and much more.

You should get the update in the next few days, but you can manually check for it if you didn’t get it yet.

Tech News : Its Time To Accept That Curved Smart Phones Is A Good Idea And Stop Making Jokes.

Curved smartphones are the future. There, I said it. Don't misinterpret that, they're not the present, the original LG G Flex was unwieldy and under-specced and don't even get me started on the Samsung Galaxy Round.

But what a difference a year makes. The Samsung Galaxy Note Edge might not be ready for prime time but it demonstrates a genuine use for curves, providing you with a small second screen with contextual controls that don't get in the way of the main interface.

Now we're seeing the LG G Flex 2, which packs some serious power, as well as featuring a better screen and a more manageable size than the LG G Flex. There's also talk that there might be a curved version of the Samsung Galaxy S6. Even Apple's been exploring the idea.

So curves are clearly here to stay and LG and Samsung are putting them into some increasingly compelling high-end handsets. It's still easy to dismiss them as gimmicks, but the Galaxy Note Edge has already demonstrated one use for a curved display and they have numerous other potential benefits.
Counting the reasons

As phones become more powerful and 4G becomes more widespread we're increasingly using our phones to watch videos and play games, both of which could benefit from a curved screen. There's a reason so many new televisions have them - they're more immersive and reduce reflections. 

They also allow for bigger screens, as the curves make it less of a stretch to reach the corners, or looked at another way they make normal sized screens easier to use for the same reason.

They can also be more comfortable to use. This may seem counter-intuitive when you're used to using flat phones, but many handsets already have gently sloped backs to better fit the contours of your hands and a curved screen just takes that idea further and also makes it a better fit against your face, for the important matter of actually making calls.

Theoretically curved screens are also stronger than their flat counterparts, as curves have more structural integrity and in some cases they're flexible, allowing them to bend rather than snap.

That in itself is a fairly minor point, but flexible is a precursor to foldable and the ability to fold a phone could prove enormously useful, as you could adapt the size and shape to different situations.

Of course we're a long way off that yet, but it's already being explored and curved screens are a logical stepping stone.

So there are a lot of upsides to curved screens, both now and looking ahead and few real downsides. All they need is to be paired with a truly compelling handset that makes the most of their advantages, while packing in all the other tech and specs that makes a smartphone desirable.

The general public might still need some convincing, it might even need Apple to jump on board before curved screens really become popular, but they have endless potential and they're an obvious thing for manufacturers to start exploring.
They make sense 

Smartphones are levelling out when it comes to power, with even lower end phones delivering impressive performance. Screens can't get much bigger or higher in resolution without verging into pointless territory and battery technology is developing too slowly to really drive competition.

Cameras have been a recent focus and I'm sure there will continue to be innovations and improvements there, but there's a limit to what you can do without a comically oversized lens. Curved screens seem like the obvious next step in smartphone innovation that manufacturers will make, first to stand out and then, once they start to catch on, to stay relevant.

They're new, they're exciting, they'll spur development of even more technologies and, perhaps most importantly, they're genuinely useful. In all the ways I've outlined above and probably in many more that no-one's even thought of yet.

In other words they make sense. And not just in smartphones and TVs, but in wearable, allowing the screen to extend around your wrist or simply to better fit its contours, as already seen in the Samsung Gear S.

They're here and while their rise has been slow they're gradually being attached to more compelling devices. And as they become more compelling they're not suddenly going to disappear, quite the opposite, they're going to take off.

It might take a while, but there was a time not so long ago when tablets were looked at sceptically. This is no different.

Curved smartphones are the future and while I'm not convinced that 2015 will be the year they go mainstream it won't be too long from now that we're wondering how we ever got by with a primitive flat screen.

Samsung Galaxy Note 4 Android Lollipop Update Pictured In Latest Leak

Android 5.0 Lollipop has been rolling out here and there, on Nexus devices like the Nexus 6, the LG G3 and others - but there's been little word of Lollipop for the Samsung Galaxy Note 4.

These new pictures change that, and provide a glimpse at what the Note 4's UI will look like with the new Android update on board.

We've also caught a glimpse of the Note 3's Lollipop update, and it's worth noting that it looks pretty similar to what we're seeing in these two images.

It's not much, but it does indicate that while the Samsung Galaxy S5 might get its Lollipop update this month, the Note 4 probably won't be far behind.

So it normally delivers the some of the best components to the dogfight.

The released images show that the LG Optimus G Pro will have a 5.5-inch, 1920 x 1080 Complete HD IPS-LCD display. That should be enough to get interest, but LG has really gone the whole hog with this one.

The back of the phone indicates LG has gone with thermoplastic or nasty development for their leading. A firefox band enhancing the photographic camera contacts also looks like a new style succeed.

LG has also involved a large power supply in the Optimus G Pro, as is appropriate for a phone with a complete HD display and a quad-core processer. The phone, which is scheduled to release in the first 50 percent of the year, will obviously game a large 3140 mAh power supply.

Report : Galaxy Note 2 Outsells iPhone 5 And Galaxy S3

The last two years have been incredible for the phone market. We have seen some well-known mobile phones with highly effective processor chips, strong components, bigger shows and feature-rich OSes.

The last few several weeks, we saw a variety of really powerful competitors in the high-end mobile area with organizations the iPhone 5, Galaxy Note 2, HTC One X, Lumia 920, to name a few. But the query is which one of these is getting the market by a weather. So, we tried asking organizations which is their best-selling smart phone. Obviously, we didn't get a response from most of them. Now, considering that there is a large device bazaar by means of the dull market, which offers gadgets probably a tad less expensive, we requested the dull market gamblers too about the product that is getting them their maximum revenue.

Samsung informed us that the Note 2 and the Galaxy S3 are doing very good revenue in Indian. Well, we would consent with them, as the dull market providers shout to a identical track as the well-known phablet, Note 2, seems to be the best-selling system in the marketplace. So, it’s the phablet that is gaining customers with its large show and highly effective performance, promoting for Rs. 35,500. Actually, we were informed that it is more in need than the iPhone 5 and has been the biggest promoting smart phone as of the other day. 

According to the dull market providers, the iPhone 5 requires the second position followed by Samsung’s Galaxy S3 (selling for Rs. 31,000) getting the third position for the best-selling mobile mobile phones. They, however, weren't too eager to release everyday revenue figures, or any other revenue information. HTC's new produces this period – HTC One X+ and the WP8 operating HTC 8X – are going a reasonable amount of items, but not as much as the top three. The lenders newest leading providing seems to be amazing the viewers and our resources declare that there are many inquiries about the Lumia range; however, the mobile phones (Lumia 920 and Lumia 820) don't seem to be in inventory in the dull market because of the formal release.

Speaking of mobile phones that have not been released in Indian, the Galaxy Nexus is still having powerful and at Rs 22,000 (latest road price), is outselling its more recent brother, the LG Nexus 4. This could be because of the rather expensive tag (Rs 36,000) that the Nexus 4 activities.

While the figures from the dull market cannot be regarded as definite revenue information, they do offer scientific and historical proof about which smart phone is prominent the market. New samsung has been been able to take benefits of the Android operating system environment and has installed a serious task to Apple's control of the smart phone world. Samsung's new beefy components in addition to the newest version of the Android operating system OS from Search engines has led to it growing as the No. 1 smart phone manufaturer in a number of key marketplaces, such as Indian.

Report : LG Optimus G Hits 1 Million Sales Mark

While the Nexus 4 is still experiencing problems thanks to short provide, it's double brother—the LG Optimus G—seems to be doing very well. According to GSMArena, the Optimus G has surpassed the one million milestone. While it may not have marketed as well as the New samsung Galaxy S III or Apple's iPhone 5, the determine is still amazing.

If you are still patiently waiting to get your arms on a Nexus 4, you could look at the crack that was designed by some associates of  XDA-Developers that changes the Optimus G into the Nexus 4. Thanks to the crack, the application side would be similar to the Nexus 4, with the only variations being the actual physical aspect of the product. The crack does this by changing every LG-customised application factor with a Nexus 4 similar. The crack changes off LTE, hats the inner storage space at 8GB and needs using Nexus 4 firmware for upcoming improvements. 

LG had initially released the Optimus G back in Aug. This smart phone is packed with a variety of functions that will absolutely attract anyone who is slightly enthusiastic about smart phone technological innovation. As the first 1.5GHz Quad-Core LTE smart phone to use Qualcomm’s newest Snapdragon S4 Pro APQ8064 processer, LG’s newest system will not only offer high fast performance, but also long life cycle of battery energy, slimmer information, lighter show and a new touchscreen display board technological innovation as a result of the vertically-integrated growth process.

Here is a fast look at some of the main functions of the LG Optimus G:

• 4.7-inch Real HD IPS+ show with a quality of 1280 x 768 pixels.
• LTE, 3G, EDGE/GPRS and Wi-Fi abilities for net access.
• GPS with A-GPS.
• 13 mega-pixel photographic camera with LED display and 1.3 mega-pixel additional photographic camera up front.
• 32GB of inner memory.

LG Chem designed a new battery energy that provides higher energy potential without limiting on size. Conventional cell phone battery energy have a lifetime of 500 expenses in best-case circumstances. Using LG Chem’s high-density technological innovation, battery energy that was designed for the new leading smart phone provides more energy than other similarly-sized battery energy by operating 60 % more effectively. The product statements that the new battery energy has a lifetime of 800 periods, a first for a cell phone.

LG Display’s participation to the venture was in the growth of a new mobile show that is better than AMOLED shows but needs less energy. LG Display’s Real HD IPS+ Display is better than the present AMOLED shows due to its great pixel solidity of 320ppi (1280 x 768 pixels) and Red stripe RGB IPS Panel. This new show is able of producing 470 nits of lighting while taking 70 % less energy in comparison to others when showing a white-colored backdrop. Furthermore, Real HD IPS+ Display does not experience from display burn-in as AMOLED shows have been known to do.

Nexus 4 Shortage Problems Due To Google's False Estimates: LG

As lovers are well conscious by now, the Nexus 4 has been scarce since its release. According to Engadget, LG Mobile's Portugal Home Tabatha Robin the boy wonder has provided some explanation on the brief provide of the product in an meeting with France web page Challenges.fr.

According to Robin the boy wonder, the brief provide can partly be held responsible on Google revenue prediction. Google had obviously expected that the product wouldn't offer very well, going by the performance of the Universe Nexus. This led to LG generating too few models and delivery them from the incorrect areas.

Robin, however, notices that despite this, Google and LG have managed a proper and balanced connection.

Earlier this 30 days, LG had resolved that the organization is not experiencing any issues with the of the Nexus 4. LG has mentioned that development at its Pyeongtaek flower is continuing along without any issues. With this, the organization has also refuted any speculation about a new Nexus. 

It was exposed just last night that the device will not be making an overall look in Indian through formal programs. Associates of LG Indian stay limited lipped and are not prepared to expose anything.

Grey industry gamblers are indicating that this is a conventional scheme that providers use to keep customers wondering and patiently waiting, because such techniques have an effect on dull industry revenue, and providers would much choose the revenue to occur through formal programs or not occur at all. Greyish industry experts also insinuate that providers keep dripping information without support it with any actual activity to often disappointed the release programs of their opponents. And possibilities are very high that the Nexus 4 may never formally get released in Indian.

One purpose for the no-show could be the LG Optimus G, which spec-for-spec is a duplicate of the Nexus 4. Of course, the style for the Optimus G, like many other LG mobile phones, is nothing to talk about and can be known as efficient at best.

A Nexus system is generally marketed at a very aggressive cost, as is seen in the situation of the worldwide costs of the Nexus 4 and the Nexus 7 tablets. This implies the OEM that creates these gadgets finishes up with very slim edges on each system marketed. OEMs find it far more successful to offer their own edition that provides the same specifications as the Nexus system. In this situation, both the Nexus 4 and Optimus G game a 1.5GHz quad-core processer, 2GB RAM, an 8MP present shooter and a 4.7-inch Real HD IPS LCD display with a 768 x 1280 quality.

Report : LG Has Produced 400,000 Nexus 4 Units So Far

While the Nexus 4 has been released for quite some time now, the product is still relatively unusual. It has been mostly out of inventory since its launch and since Google doesn't expose system sales, it's especially difficult to determine how many gadgets LG has created so far. However, some investigator work by associates of the XDA Designer boards has exposed that LG has created about 400,000 gadgets so far.

According to Tech Crunch, the variety was came on by examining the ghd sequential figures that were written on the box. The time frame of development is protected in the first three roles, with the first place interpreting the year and the second and third roles interpreting the 30 days. It all place describes the nation. The last six numbers of the variety go with the last six amounts of the IMEI. This seems to be incremented by one with each recently created device.

The Nexus 4 hasn't yet been released in Indian, but if you're fortunate, you can get one from some on the internet stores. The phone is available on the internet at the extreme price of Rs 35,999. It is stated though that the Nexus 4 is predicted to launch in Indian this 30 days. Along with this system, LG is predicted to present the LG Optimus G in Indian, which is the organization's leading system. 

Google had declared the newest gadgets in its Nexus line-up in delayed Oct, along with a new taste of Android operating system – edition 4.2. The new edition is still known as Jelly Bean.

The Nexus 4 is Google newest smart phone designed together with LG. It has a quad-core processer, operates on android 4.2, has a sharp 4.7-inch (320 ppi) show and features of wi-fi asking for. The company has reinvented the picture experience with Photo Area, which allows you catch injections up, down and in every route to make 360-degree encounters that you can discuss on Google+.

The phone has also confirmed to be resilient in some assessments. In videos clip, the Nexus 4 experienced two drop assessments, the first of which models a drop from a wallet. The second reveals it decreased while a person is using it to discuss with it being placed near the ear.

In the first analyze, when the product is decreased, it endures with hardly any scrapes, and this reveals how powerful the cup on either side of the body is. In the second drop analyze, which is from a size greater than the first, the top side of the product endures the drop but the back cup board comes off more intense for use.

However, in both circumstances the product is efficient, and this reveals that the product is one challenging nut.

CES 2013 : Huawei Ascend D2, Ascend Mate And LG Optimus G2 To Be Shown Off

China-based Huawei will present its Go up D2 smart phone at this seasons Customer Gadgets Display (CES), according to a review by DigiTimes. The Go up D2 was declared in Oct and comes with HiSilicon's quad-core processer and a 13MP back photographic camera. Along with the Go up D2, Huawei will also express the Go up Companion, which has a 6.1-inch show, and functions a 1.8GHz quad-core HiSilicon K3V3 processer.

LG Nexus 4 Vs Samsung Galaxy Nexus: Camera Shootout

We had a run-in with Google’s flagship smartphone today and we put it to work right away. The Nexus 4 is built by LG and follows the Galaxy Nexus very 

We had a run-in with Google’s flagship smartphone today and we put it to work right away. The Nexus 4 is built by LG and follows the Galaxy Nexus very closely in terms of design and aesthetics. We’ll have an in-depth first impressions of the phone for you very soon, but first, how about a little camera showdown against the Galaxy Nexus. The camera in the previous phone was only good if all the conditions were ideal like a bright summer’s day. Anything else and you might as well not bother taking the phone out of your pocket. The Nexus 4 on the other hand has an 8MP BSI sensor from Sony, so we can expect great things from it, especially in low light.  

We will be comparing it with other handsets like the iPhone 5, Lumia 920, etc in the future but for now, we just want to see how much of an improvement it is over its predecessor.

On Video :

We’ve shot a quick hands-on video of the LG Nexus 4, highlighting its design and build as well as a quick comparison with the Galaxy Nexus itself. We also get to see the new powerful Qualcomm SoC in action through a quick lap of NFS: Most Wanted.

In the first out door test, both cameras appear to capture very good amount of detail. However, the colours are a bit exaggerated in the Galaxy Nexus as compared the Nexus 4. Also, the depth of field is stronger in the Nexus 4 as the blue wall and shrubs in the background are more blurred out.

Our second test was indoors, under sufficient ambient lighting. Here, the BSI sensor come into play by offering a much better white balance as well as a lot more detail. The Galaxy Nexus is simply unable to capture enough detail and colours in this sort of lighting.

We finally come to our macro test. Once again, the Nexus 4 came out on top with better white balance and much better contrast. The detail is also a lot better.

There’s no word when the Nexus 4 will actually launch in India but latest rumours state a possibility of an early Jan launch. You can buy the handset right now from the gray market for approximately Rs 36,000 for the 16GB model. Stay tuned for our first impressions on the Nexus 4 coming up shortly.
