LG G Flex 2 and LG G4 hits Ireland via PC World. #LG #G4 #Flex2

The two devices have been available in many markets for a while now and yet there is no sign of any networks picking up the duo from LG. The G3 also got no attention from networks last despite reports saying it was on sale when it was not,people had to import and that included myself . One good thing here people can go into a store and physically see the device’s before purchasing or search for a better price online.

PC World now sell the duo which is of course contract free and cost from €699 to €729 respectively which is not cheap either,but at least you are not tied to an operator and bloat ware free..

Make calls from your LG Watch Urbane is now possible By @VicenteA_George #LG #LGwatch #Androidwear

The LG watch Urbane is one of the better looking Android Wear accessories (with the Huawei Watch) and now you can add another great function to it, make calls directly on your wrist!

Well, is not that easy as pick up your wrist and call, you’ll need your phone as the Urbane watch lacks cellular connectivity. what this app do is transform your smartwatch into a handsfree accessory.

Something strange happens this time though, this app is only compatible with the Urbane model. LG has two other SmartWatches but for some reason the app in not available for these.

Maybe they’ll made available for all latter, this decision has raise the wrath of plenty LG SmartWatch users that don’t choose the Urbane model.

The LG Urbane was launched in the Google Store for $349 has has some of the better android wear specs you can find.

You can grab an Urbane Watch HERE and the app HERE

Will you choose the Urban Watch now you know this? Or you have one right now and can enjoy this new app?

LG introduces the G Stylo, a mid-range phone that can handle 2TB SD cards By @VicenteA_George #lg #android #GStylo

Yesterday LG announced a new smartphone: the G Stylo (yes! It comes with a stylus pen)

The LG G Stylo runs on Android 5.0 Lollipop and sports a large display of 5.7-inch with the resolution 720 x 1280 pixels, a 3000 mAh battery, a 8mp rear camera with 5mp Front camera, 1.5 GB of RAM and 8 GB of internal storage.

Powered by a 64-bit, quad-core Snapdragon 410 processor clocked at 1.2 GHz is all-in-all a mid range smartphone (even with that huge display)

But what make us have an eye on the G Stylo is the rare capacity for 2TB SD card (ones that not even exist) and this could be what we call “future-proof” on a smartphone.

The G Stylo is available in South Korea, costing 400,000 KRW (like $460) and according to LG this phone will make it way around the world starting in May.

LG G Flex 2 is announced at #CES its also self healing. by @jimboireland #LG #FLEX2

LG sre no stranger to the market today although the mobile phones do not get much love in Ireland despite how fa they have come since the LG G2 and G3 which are remarkable devices that never got to see the light of day by our operators and this left avid LG fans having to import the devices from the UK or EU.

Having had the G3 myself they have really stepped up the mark in the last two years and now offer some strong competition for the likes of Samsung and HTC.

The screen is curved to a 700mm radius and the rear at 650mm.It sports a 3000 mAh battery which should see the average user through the day without and issues,for power users this may vary.It has a special coated glass which was developed by LG and said the be stronger than Gorilla Glass 3..It has an LG Developed P- OLED display and 1080p resolution

The Flex 2 will come with a Snapdragon 810 ,and has Android Lollipop 5.0 out of the box which also will be welcome to potential buyers,It also sports 2GB RAM and will come in 16/32GB variants plus the option to take micro sd cards which will also another welcome addition for those who are interested.

It has a 13MP rear camera with ios and laser auto focus,same as the LG G3 which takes really nice photos.The rear camera is only a 2.1 MP which is acceptable for most.The Flex 2 will be available in several colours such as Flamenco Red and Platinum silver ,its not know if we will see it here in Ireland and mostly likely will not so again we may have to import the device again unless the carriers take it on board,given the past few devices as mentioned before have not been released here this is all we can go on for the moment..

Check out the Flex 2 at LG

 

 

 

 

 

LG G3 to receive Lollipop this week in Poland

LG has recently announced that it’s most recent handset, the G3, will be receiving the android Lollipop update sometime this week in Poland, with other markets to follow soon after.

This is a very impressive feat as LG have been known in the past for taking their merry old time when delivering software updates. Of course they haven’t beat Motorola to be the first OEM to push out the update, but second isn’t bad, especially when you consider that the Nexus 5 and other previous generation Nexus devices will be receiving the update around the same time.

That being said, LG have not given any definite dates for the release in any other markets, but rest assured, it will be soon, and if you still can’t wait, chances are you’ll be able to grab the ROM online and flash it to your device if you so wish.

#LG announces G Pro 2 in South Korea #JTB #mobiletech

LG has just announced the arrival of it’s long anticipated successor to the G Pro, the G Pro 2. The handsets specs are too notch and with a huge 5.9 inch screen it’s one of the biggest phablets to date, being matched by the Oppo N1 and, well, in not including the galaxy mega because it’s no competition to the G Pro 2 whatsoever. The Lumia 1520 has a slightly bigger screen at 6 inches but I’m not sure you would really see a difference when using the handsets.

Specs:

Screen: 5.9 inch IPS 1080p
Processor: 2.26Ghz snapdragon 800
Memory: 16 or 32 GB variants with Micro SD slot for up to 64GB more – 3GB of RAM
Camera: 13mp rear facing camera with OIS plus – capable of recording 2160p @ 30fps, 1080 @ 60fps and 720 @ 120fps.
Dimensions: 157.9 x 81.9 x 8.3
Battery:3200 mAh

The G Pro 2 is a strong contestant in the mobile industry, with great specs like these and the fact it’s running android 4.4.2 out of the box give it a huge advantage over the phones we’ll be see at MWC.

The downside: The western market won’t be seeing the handset until April because LG thinks phablets are an Asian thing, I kid you not.

The device also comes with LG’s knock code feature, which is like the knock knock feature but the screen is divided into different sections and to unlock the device you have to tap them in the right order, this works even when the screen is off, which I personally think is a great bonus.

So what do you think? Will the G Pro 2 make it and become this years best handset, or should LG have waited to put in some newer technology? Let me know in the comments and I’ll see you all next time.
