Lg's Latest G4 Stylus Phablet, G4c Budget Phone First look

The G4 Stylus is a larger, 5.7” version of the original LG G4, with stylus-based navigation design and a better price. The 5” G4c, meanwhile, has been designed as a smaller, budget-friendly version of the G4 device.

The LG G4 Stylus (aka G Stylo) is a larger, though slightly downgraded version of the original G4. It features a 5.7” HD screen (258 ppi), a 1.2 GHz Quad-core chip, 1 GB of RAM, 8GB of storage (expandable with MicroSD) and the titular Rubberdium stylus. The rear-facing camera is only 13 MP (and 5 MP front), a downgrade over the G4’s feature-rich 16 MP design. It’s clearly designed for a person who wants a large screen, but is willing to sacrifice top-level performance for a lower price tag.

The LG G4c, meanwhile, takes even sharper aim at price-conscious customers. It has a smaller 5” screen (294 ppi), but a 1.2 GHz Quad-core processor, 1 GB of RAM and 8 GB of storage like its larger cousin. Its camera is limited to lower-resolution 8 MP shots to help keep costs down further.

The LG G4 Stylus will be available in metallic silver and floral white colors; the G4c will be available in metallic gray, ceramic white and shiny gold. The devices are expected to launch “in the weeks to come.” Pricing has not been announced for either, though you can expect both to fall under the $600 price tag of the LG G4.

Latest Flex 2 Specs Review

The LG G Flex 2 is the first big announcement to come out of CES 2015: after testing the waters with futuristic curved phones in 2014, LG has tazen the experiment and concepts to reality with a well-thought out mass-market gadget, the G Flex 2.

After the gigantic, 6-inch original G Flex, LG has taken a more moderate approach and claims to have found the optimal size for the G Flex 2: it’s a 5.5” display.

The signature features include the same, 700R (700mm) curvature, plastic OLED display with a 1080p resolution, the new octa-ocre 64-bit Snapdragon 810 system chip, scratch self-healing back cover, and quick charge technology. What’s not to like? Before we officially approve those new features, let’s first explore them in more depth, though.

Camera and Media: 13MP, OIS+

The LG G Flex 2 does not offer much novelty in the camera: it uses a 13-megapixel main camera with optical image staiblization (OIS+) with laser auto-focus, or what seems like basically the same camera hardware as in the G3. That, however, is not a bad thing at all. The G3 has one of our favorite cameras of any 2014 flagship, with fast focusing and pleasing colors.

When it comes to media, we’d like to point out the positive effect on outdoor viewing that comes with a curved screen. The reason for this is that there are less reflections (the curve blocks a lot of them), so it’s much easier to use the device outdoors, be it to show a couple of images or share a funny YouTube video when you’re out.

Battery: fast charged

One of the most transformative innovations of 2014 was Qualcomm’s QuickCharge on real flagships. Smartphone makers have come up with different names for fast charging tech, some have also improved it, but at the core it is all a Snapdragon feature. LG is also finally joining this game with G Flex 2 and we’re happy to hear the news: the 3000mAh (non user-removable) battery supports high-speed charging that will get you from 0 to 50 percent in about 40 minutes. This type of charging requires the charger in the box connected to a wall plug.

Once again, it’s worth mentioning that expectations for the battery life of the LG G Flex 2 are much brighter than those for most other flagships. The reason for this lies in the less taxing 1080p screen resolution, while others have to cope with a more pixel-heavy Quad HD resolutions.

Samsung and LG Confirms Bendy Smartphones in 2016

Samsung and LG Confirms Bendy Smartphones in 2016

Samsung and LG both have smartphones that employ curved glass technology, while Samsung has gone a step further with devices sporting actual folding glass. However, in the development stage glass that can be rolled, folded, bent and twisted is in development. Both LG and Samsung have said 2016 could be the date that the first devices with this technology come to the market.

The South Korean companies stated this fact back in 2014, saying 2015 will be a key year in the development of the tech, with 2016 reaping the rewards of those breakthroughs with actual devices. It is nice to see that time frame reaffirmed six months on, at leasing according to Business Korea; the outlet claiming representatives of both LG and Samsung confirmed as much.

It seems the technology is on track for the timeframe the companies, but both seem to be taking different avenues. LG is working on transparent screens, the sort of technology we see on heads up displays in cars, although the company says a workable product could be some way off. Samsung on the other hand is working on foldable screen that it says is closer to production, with the first products due to land in 2016.

It's worth mentioning that these are not the only companies working on this kind of tech, but are merely the most open about their progress.

Releasing date of Android 5.0 Lollipop for All Smartphones

Android Lollipop is now out in the open and it includes a hat full of new features, a visual overhaul and numerous under-the-hood improvements to make if faster, more efficient and lighter on your battery, but while we know all about it, it's not yet available for public consumption. Even once it does launch it will be down to individual manufacturers to port it to their devices, so chances are you'll still be waiting a while to get it on your phone and tablet (unless you've gone full Nexus already) and most companies haven't yet been all that forthcoming with details of when they'll bring it to their phones and tablets. But we do know some things and we can take educated guesses at others, so read on for all the information and theories on when you might see Android Lollipop on your device.

HTC

HTC has been more forthcoming with its update plans than most manufacturers and it's no surprise given how quickly it plans to bring the update to users. In a statement the company said: "HTC is excited about the new features in Android Lollipop and we can't wait to share them with our customers. We are committed to updating our flagship HTC One family as fast as possible. "We will begin rolling out updates to the HTC One (M8) and HTC One (M7) in regions worldwide within 90 days of receiving final software from Google, followed shortly thereafter by other One family members and select devices." Doing the mathematics that means the company's most recent two flagships should get Android Lollipop either at the end of the year or possibly in January of next year. We're going to go ahead and assume that most other HTC handsets released in the last year or so will also get the update at some point. As a general rule the more recent and high profile a device is the more likely it is to get an update, so the HTC Desire Eye will almost certainly be near the front of the line. The HTC One Mini 2, the HTC One Mini and perhaps the HTC One Max and some of the other recent Desire handsets are likely to get the update too, though probably not until sometime after the One M7 and the One M8. According to one leak, the One Mini 2 and Desire 816 will get Lollipop sometime in March/April, while the One Max, One Mini and Butterfly S have an expected Android 5.0 rollout of March-May.

Samsung

Samsung is yet to officially shed any light on when it will be bringing Android Lollipop to its phones, but there are sources saying its sooner rather than later. According to Sam Mobile, the Samsung Galaxy S5 could be in for an Android Lollipop release in December 2014. Given that networks can delay the rollout, there is always the possibility it won't reach devices until January 2015. The Samsung Galaxy Note 4 arrived too early to launch with Android Lollipop, but it will likely be updated quickly, although there's been no word - official or otherwise - on this so far. The Galaxy Alpha and Galaxy Note 3 are also likely to get the update very shortly after it launches, probably within the same sort of several month timeframe as HTC is operating under. Other Samsung handsets may have to wait a little longer, however we'd expect that most high profile devices released in the last 18 months to 2 years will get the update, including the Samsung Galaxy S4, the Galaxy S4 Mini and the Galaxy S5 Mini. We doubt that the Samsung Galaxy S3 or anything older will get Android Lollipop. It's a device that's already over two years old and some versions of it didn't even get Android 4.4. Samsung doesn't seem great at updating its tablets either. There's a good chance recent slates like its Note Pro and Tab S ranges and even the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 will get Android Lollipop but anything older or low end is iffy.

Google

Whilst Android Lollipop was announced at Google's IO event, it was simply known as Android L. Since then there were a lot of rumors swirling about that sweet-themed name Google would go for. These rumors were finally put to rest during Google's launch of the Nexus 6, where Android Lollipop was officially confirmed as the name for Android 5.0. The Nexus 6 and Nexus 9 will be Google's first devices to come with Android Lollipop, but these aren't the only Nexus products which will get the latest sweet treat. Android 5.0 Lollipop will also be available on the Nexus 4, 5, 7, 10 and Google Play edition devices in the coming weeks. This week, two software updates for Asus-made tablets have been certified by Bluetooth, indicating that Lollipop isn't far away. The two tablets are the Asus K008 and the Asus ME370T or, the Nexus 7 (2013) and the Asus MEMO tablet that went on to become the first Nexus 7 back in 2012. While Bluetooth certification doesn't give us an exact date, a source speaking to Android Police, seems to believe the OTA update will arrive on November 3. There seems to be some suggestion that the Nexus 10 tablet will also receive its OTA update on November 3. Any Nexus devices older than these are all but guaranteed not to get it, meaning that Galaxy Nexus and Nexus S owners are plum out of luck.

Sony

Sony has openly declared that it will be "bringing Android 5.0 Lollipop to the entire Xperia Z Series." It's even published a full list of handsets which are in line for Android Lollipop, so here we go...Xperia Z, Xperia ZL, Xperia ZR, Xperia Tablet Z, Xperia Z1, Xperia Z1S, Xperia Z Ultra, Xperia Z1 Compact, Xperia Z2, Xperia Z2 Tablet, Xperia Z3, Xperia Z3v, Xperia Z3 Compact and Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact. It's worth noting that the Sony Z Ultra Google Play edition will be first in line, but Sony is yet to reveal an exact date for the update. As to when Sony will start rolling out the update to its main line of devices, the manufacturer has said "We'll start the upgrade at the beginning of 2015 for the core Xperia Z3 and Xperia Z2 series – continuing thereafter for all remaining devices above."
