LG K8 is Now Officially Unveiled http://54.152.129.122/index.php/2016/02/16/lg-k8-is-now-officially-unveiled/ http://54.152.129.122/index.php/2016/02/16/lg-k8-is-now-officially-unveiled/#respond Tue, 16 Feb 2016 19:35:55 +0000 https://smartphonetechie.com/?p=17235 It looks like that LG has planned to launch a lot of new smartphones this year to increase their market shares. This new marketing policy looks similar to Samsung. LG K7 and LG K10 were launched earlier this year at CES and low end LG K4 made its debut earlier this month and now we have a new LG smartphone; LG K8.

Also Read: LG G5 Will Have Secondary Display

LG K8 will make its first appearance in Europe and then later this year it will be launched worldwide. Looking at LG K8 specifications it looks like this smartphone falls under low-mid range category of smartphone. It will not be justifies to truly call it as a mid range smartphone because we have see much better smartphones from this category.

LG K8 Specifications

LG K8 has Mediatek MT6735 quad-core processor clocked at 1.3 GHz with 1.5 GB RAM. These RAM numbers are quite surprising for us because we were expecting it to have a 2 GB RAM. It has 8 GB internal storage which may not be sufficient for many customers out there but the good thing is that it comes with microSD card support. It packs a 5 MP front snapper and 8MP primary camera.

LG K8

Looking at LG K8 specifications it looks like that this new smartphone will cost around $350. However, at this point LG has not mentioned anything about the price.

LG K8 Design

LG K8 has a typical LG design with power and volume rockers at the back. It has a 5 inch IPS LCD and 2,125 mAh battery. The good side of this smartphone is that it comes with the latest Android 6.0 Marshmallow out of the box.

This phone will soon hit the markets. According to the source it will available for purchase starting from next month.

LG G5 will have Always on Secondary Display http://54.152.129.122/index.php/2016/02/16/lg-g5-will-have-always-on-secondary-display/ http://54.152.129.122/index.php/2016/02/16/lg-g5-will-have-always-on-secondary-display/#respond Tue, 16 Feb 2016 14:12:55 +0000 https://smartphonetechie.com/?p=17232 Rumors are going around that new LG flagship smartphone will come with a secondary display just like LG V10. Today we have finally got a confirmation from a very legitimate source that LG G5 will have an always on secondary display. This confirmation comes from Evan Blass who has a very good reputation when it comes to revealing some information about the upcoming smartphone. A lot of his leaks related to the upcoming smartphones have been spot on in the past.
However, at this point he has not shared any other information about the upcoming LG G5. So, we can assume that it will a secondary display just like the one LG V10 has. Having said that, we assume that the company is working on it to make it more useful and easily accessible. On LG V10 the secondary display resides on top of the primary display, therefore, it is not certainly easily accessible.

LG G5 Always on display

Now a secondary display with always on feature looks quite interesting and we expect that the entire combination of always on display and the secondary display will look pretty awesome on the next LG flagship smartphone.

LG G5 will be unveiled officially at MWC 2016 which is scheduled for 21st February. Interestingly, it coincides with Samsung Galaxy S7 unveiling event.

LG Nexus 5 (2015) Specifications Leak Out http://54.152.129.122/index.php/2015/08/31/lg-nexus-5-2015-specifications-leak-out/ http://54.152.129.122/index.php/2015/08/31/lg-nexus-5-2015-specifications-leak-out/#respond Mon, 31 Aug 2015 19:45:38 +0000 http://smartphonetechie.com/?p=16955 Google is all set to announce the next generation Nexus smartphones and this time around we will see different Nexus smartphones. As per the leaks LG and Huawei are two Nexus smartphone manufacturers this year. A premium Nexus smartphone will be manufactured by LG whereas Huawei will launch a mid-range Nexus smartphone.

Also Read: iPhone 7 Specifications Leak

This time around Google and LG are working together on the upgraded version of 2013 LG Nexus 5. LG Nexus 5 2015 will be launched no later than September and today we have got a new set of LG Nexus 5 2015 specifications leaks.

According to the leaks the upcoming LG Nexus 5 (2015) will be much cheaper compared to Motorola Nexus 6. Therefore do not consider it as a upgrade over your Nexus 6. In fact it will be a update for LG Nexus 5 users.

As per LG Nexus 5 (2015) leaked specifications, the new smartphone will come 5.2 inch 1080p display, 12MP primary camera, 5MP front facing camera,3GB RAM and 16GB and 32GB internal storage options. Following the Nexus legacy it will not come with microSD support. Even though Snapdragon 820 is officially announced but still LG and Google have decided to go with Snapdragon 808 processor. This is mainly because of two reasons. First one is that they are short on time to utilize Snapdragon 820 in the smartphone because it is not yet available for manufacturers. Secondly Snapdragon 810 has very bad reputation because of overheating issues. Therefore they decided to go with Snapdragon 808.

One disappointing thing here is a 2700mAh battery. Having said that it will have 1080p display instead of latest QHD display therefore this small battery will be good enough to handle it and to keep the device running for at least 1 complete day at a normal usage.

LG G4 vs Galaxy S6: Battle of Two Giants http://54.152.129.122/index.php/2015/06/30/lg-g4-vs-galaxy-s6/ http://54.152.129.122/index.php/2015/06/30/lg-g4-vs-galaxy-s6/#comments Tue, 30 Jun 2015 21:12:13 +0000 http://smartphonetechie.com/?p=16728 LG G4 is the latest flagship device of LG and the company has followed its tradition of impressing the consumers with the quality and specifications of its flagship device. After dismal performance of Samsung Galaxy S5 it was mandatory for Samsung to come up with a smartphone which can help the company to boost its sales and which has the capability to stand high in the market against other flagship smartphones. Galaxy S6 is just what the doctor ordered.

So, here we are with LG G4 vs Galaxy S6 the battle of two giants. Both these smartphones have their pros and cons but we are interested to see which one comes out as a winner in our LG G4 vs Galaxy S6 competition.

LG G4 vs Galaxy S6:

Display:

Las year LG stole the show with QHD display and this time around LG has stick with the same QHD display but as per the company the overall brightness and sharpness has been improved. On the other Galaxy S6 also comes with QHD display. We are familiar with super amoled technology of Samsung and we also know that it is far better than IPS LCD when it comes to displaying natural colors. So, Galaxy S6 quite conveniently wins the battle.

Camera:

Talking about the camera both companies have never seized to impress with the quality of their cameras. And one can claim without any doubts that LG and Samsung produce best smartphone cameras in the market. In our LG G4 vs Galaxy S6 camera battle it was quite difficult for us to decide who performs better in the camera department. Both of these smartphones come with 16MP primary camera which performs flawlessly in any lighting conditions. However, 8MP front snapper of LG G4 is definitely ahead of 5MP Galaxy S6 front camera and this is the tie breaker for us!

Hardware:

Galaxy  S6 comes with homegrown Exynos 7 Octa 7420 which performs slightly better than Qualcomm Snapdragon 808 of LG G4. We ran different benchmark tests and found out that Galaxy  S6 was ahead of G4 in most of the tests. However, both these smartphones have 3GB RAM and this makes multitasking flawlessly smooth. You will certainly enjoy multitasking on these smartphones.

Galaxy S6 has 128GB internal storage whereas LG G4 has 32GB internal storage. Lack of microSD card on S6 disappoints us but 128GB is still more than enough even for hardcore media lovers. So, looking at the benchmark results it was evident that S6 is superior than G4 in hardware.

Software:

These smartphones run Android 5.0 Lollipop out of the box with their customized UI. Even though Samsung has improved Touchwiz over the years but still it does not feel as polished as other UI available in the market. LG G4 with its latest LG UX 4.0 steals the show comprehensively.

LG G4 vs Galaxy S6

Battery:

We have heard a lot of complaints about low battery performance of LG G4 and our tests depicted the same thing. Even though G4 comes with higher battery capacity but still S6 performed much better in our battery tests and it was quite easy for us to declare S6 as winner in our LG G4 vs Galaxy S6 battery life showdown.

Both these smartphones offer a lot of value. But if you look at our detailed LG G4 vs Galaxy S6 showdown then it would be fair to say that S6 is slightly better than LG G4. But at the end of the day it comes down to your personal preference and usage.

LG G4 Now Available in Pakistan http://54.152.129.122/index.php/2015/06/24/lg-g4-now-available-in-pakistan/ http://54.152.129.122/index.php/2015/06/24/lg-g4-now-available-in-pakistan/#respond Wed, 24 Jun 2015 22:34:15 +0000 http://smartphonetechie.com/?p=16620 LG G4 the latest flagship device of LG is now available in Pakistan. LG G4 price in Pakistan is quite reasonable compared to its competitors Samsung Galaxy S6 and HTC One M9. Though LG is not officially selling its smartphones in Pakistan but still you an get the latest smartphones from different online stores like iShopping.pk, homeshopping.pk and other. Homeshopping.pk is offering the best LG G4 price in Pakistan. They are offering it at a deal breaking price of 62,000 pkr with all the goodies.

LG G4 Price in Pakistan

LG G4 has a 5.5 inch QHD display just like its predecessor LG G3. However, as per LG CEO the new smartphone comes with improved brightness and sunlight readability. Unlike LG G3 the all new LG G4 comes with 32GB internal storage option with 3GB RAM. If you are a music lover and love to store a lot of media and images on your smartphone then you can extend the storage with microSD card.

For the selfie lovers there is a 8MP front facing snapper and 16MP primary camera. Company claims that image processing has been improved which results in better, crisp and detailed images. This new smartphone comes with the updated LG UI. However, it is quite similar to LG G3 and those who have used it will not find much differences between the two UI’s.

Having said that LG has failed to impress its consumers in the battery department. Though G4 comes with 3000mAh battery but it hardly lasts for one complete day. We believe that battery performance can be improved with few software tweaks and LG will soon roll out a new update which will improve the overall battery life.

So, if you are looking for a new smartphone then LG G4 is something that you should go for. This smartphone offers you the best in every department except for the battery life and expect that LG will address this issue in the upcoming software update. LG G4 price in Pakistan is very reasonable considering the fact it is launched a couple of months back in the international. Homeshopping is offering the best deal right now and within a 3 to 4 weeks this price will fall down.
