Teaser – Free time quick pleasures app on Android. #Teaser

Ok so we all love our apps and browsing on our mobiles but at times we may get bored or whatever the case maybe and can find ourselves in a rut to find something interesting,Example of one another idea like this was recently launched called pooductive and this enables you to talk to others whilst you sit on the big white telephone..

This app is kind of similar but aggregated from several other feeds and you can select what interests you most,in the settings this can be adjusted to what suits you and you can pick from several such as Vine,Meme generator and You Tube etc..

The description says it all really which is as follows.

Teaser provides the ultimate collection of short recreation items for your downtime:
Trending memes, fresh and hilarious gags and jokes, trivia, viral videos, awesome facts, familiar quotes and tons more. You choose the channels you like, we’ll do the rest while you relax and enjoy a refreshing hiatus from the world around you.

The app is smooth however I found it short on content on using it today so in time I would expect it to grow and it will be more enjoyable,you can share and favourite your picks in the app but for now it is exactly as its named,its a teaser,lets hope it gets better.. Teaser was created by a guy called IdanBenporat who called out to us on Twitter today.

Gmail gets new features,Block and Unsubscribe. #Gmail #Android #Web

Gmail has got some new ( convenient) features Block Sender is one which is ideal and will throw your unwanted mail into the spam folder ,but is this really a block,we do check our spam folders,this is rolling out today on the web and Android over the next week. You can then unblock if you like in settings. Anyway its welcome in my book.Filtering mail was already available  but takes less clicks now.

In addition, the unsubscribe option is now making its way to Android, so you’ll be able to opt out of eligible mailing lists directly from the Gmail app. It’s perfect for those newsletters you subscribed to a while back but don’t read any more. Again this is something we can already do via the unsubscribe option attached to emails so this just makes it a bit more convenient I guess.

#LG announces the all metal made LG Class By @VicenteA_George #Android #LGClass

We’ve heard a lot about this “all metal” LG phone is the past days, but today LG Korea has made it official.

Introducing the LG Class

With all the bells and whistles we’ve heard about a new “Top of the Line” phone from LG the expectation grows for today possible announce of the rumored G4 Note, but what we have if a mid-range phone with a “premium” look.

The Class combine what we love the most about LG design language and that premium feel that All Metal phones have.

Take a look a the specs:

Screen: 5″ inch (1280 x 720)

Processor: Qualcomm Snapdragon 410

RAM: 2 GB

Memory: 16 GB with 2TB external SD card support

Front Camera: 8MP

Rear Camera: 13MP

Battery: 2.050 mAh (Non removable)

Size: 141 x 71,8 x 7,4 mm

OS: Android 5.1 Lollipop with LG UX 4 on top

Connections: 4G LTE, Bluetooth 4.1, GPS, NFC, Wi-Fi,1W Speaker, FM Radio

There you have it, if you want a “Premium Looking” phone but are in a budget the Class is your better call.

The downside of the story is the fact of the Class being sold in Korea exclusively at the moment, with no info about whether or not is going to be available overseas.

Although you can find the phone at the local market, you can buy the phone unlock and use it (needs to check carrier bands though) for just €301 or $339

Even though the nice look and feel of the phone, the internal are not so premium at that price tag could be a little excessive.

What do you think? Is it “good looking” enough to bring it home from abroad?

Let us know your thoughts in the comments section.
