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.
Something manufacturers could do realistically speaking anyway would be a good idea to either give a smartwatch free or bundle it with their new devices,this is something we hardly see here and if they want to sell their gadgets this would be a good idea across the board,there is still not a whole lot of traction here and activity/fitness trackers seem to be more popular..
However there is a nice deal on billpay with Meteor now that gives you a nice device and smartwatch in a bundle.They are the Alcatel Idol 3 4.7 inch and Watch.There is an Alcatel Idol 3 5.5 inch so not to get mixed up here on the particular model.
Features
4.7″ Screen
13MP Camera
1.2Ghz Quad Core Processor
8 GB EMMC + 1.5 GB RAM
Android 5.0
See more at meteor the good thing is it comes from FREE …. and you are getting a fairly decent phone and smartwatch to get you going… You can also buy the watch separately for just €99.99 here

Hey folks, we have something special for the foodie lovers in Dublin. We were approached by a dynamic guy, who was bubbling with new concept and ideas to help people find where and who offers, what they are looking for… Curious?? Well we were too to know what exactly Youssef Sarhan, Designer and Co-Founder Mizu had in his mind.
Read on to know what’s here for people who love to eat out from Mizu.
What is Mizu?
We all have a very different taste and diets. Some of us love chicken, some of us think it’s boring. Some of us love pasta, some of avoid it while others prefer to stay vegetarian. So, here is where this new idea of Mizu came up.
Well, Mizu is a new mobile app for iPhone which understands your taste and diet.
When you download Mizu, you tell the app what you do and don’t like to eat – this helps Mizu understand your taste and diet and match you with great nearby food. “Think of it as a dating app for food, the perfect relationship” says Youssef.
Once you’ve told Mizu what you do and don’t like to eat, Mizu shows you a list of great nearby restaurants – complete with opening hours and directions. Isn’t that great? Mizu is being your Personal Assistant to your taste buds.
When you browse a restaurants menu on Mizu, dishes are presented in an order which matches your taste and diet. So, this makes finding the perfect dish super fast. Say for example, if you like chicken, chicken dishes are filtered to the top, and if you don’t like pork, pork dishes are pushed to the bottom. This is great for customers and businesses. Everyone wins! You know what and where you want to eat and businesses know what to offer to you.
Mizu comes with a learning algorithm, which gets better the more you use to make it offer you the best options. Mizu also integrates your social networking sites where you can share the dish or it even allows you to rate or comment on a particular restaurant, so your friends and family know what you liked our didn’t like at the particular restaurant.
Mizu is a totally unique concept, nobody is doing anything like this in the food-tech space yet.
Mizu is a start up based in Dublin, Ireland and they are looking for expansion and proposals. This wonderful app is exclusively available to iOS at the moment, which can be downloaded here. We wish the team a very good luck for the future.
Let us know your on this revolutionary experience of browsing restaurant’s menu in the comments below or tweet us using #TechBuzzIreland.
