LG G Flex Reaches Singapore and Hong Kong This Month



LG and Samsung are both racing to make flexible displays a mainstream reality. Flexible screens are extremely durable, some say indestructible, and can lead to all kinds of crazy innovative designs. For now, only the screens are flexible, not the entire phone, but the potential is there. Both Samsung and LG have announced phones with curved screens, but LG is the first to bring one to a wide audience.

LG announced late last month that the G Flex smartphone, which up until now has only been available in South Korea, would expand to other countries in December. Now, they are making good on that promise with availability in Singapore and Hong Kong. LG says this is the beginning of a “global rollout.”

QUOTE::::::: Customers in Singapore will be able to place their pre-orders for LG G Flex beginning December 8. In Hong Kong, the device goes on sale starting December 13 and will be available through major carriers and leading electronics retailers.

The G Flex curves vertically, instead of horizontally as Samsung’s Galaxy Round does. The phone features a large, 6-inch 720p curved display, which LG claims is the largest of its type in the world, which isn’t really surprising, since only two curved screens exist at the moment.

The G Flex includes a few other tricks, too, like the self-healing back cover, which can render small scratches and scuffs invisible, and the custom designed battery. The G Flex battery was designed using a stepped approach which allows the battery to curve with the body of the device.

The G Flex follows most of the design set by the LG G2, their newest flagship device, including the rear-mounted volume and power buttons. Additional specs include a quad-core 2.26GHz CPU, 2GB of RAM, 13MP rear camera, and a 2.1MP front camera.

It features a LG is clearly betting big on flexible screens, with rumors of a G Flex 2 already hitting the wire. If consumers take to the G Flex and it’s a retail success, we can be sure LG will continue to push the design.

Look for the G Flex to launch in additional markets early next year.

Samsung Galaxy S5 release date, news and rumors



All the big smartphone manufacturers are relatively entrenched in annual product cycles now, which means we can usually predict when they will launch their headlining products.

As far as the Samsung Galaxy S5 goes it's likely that we'll see the Korean firm take to the stage sometime in March 2014 with its fifth generation flagship smartphone. If the Galaxy S4 launch event is anything to go by expect it to be big, brash and rather confusing.

That said, there's a rumor doing the rounds which suggests Samsung may actually bring the launch forward to February after the Galaxy S4 failed to sell as many as predicted.

Does anyone have the Moto G? My cousin pointed out that it's US$180 unlocked. You get a 4.5in. Gorilla Glass3 display, quad core processor, 1GB RAM, 8/16GB unexpandable storage. Sounds like a steal to me.

Central Park Mugger Rejects Victim's Outdated Flip Phone | TIME.com

By Samantha Grossman Dec. 29, 2013

Beggars can’t be choosers, but apparently robbers can.

When a mugger held up 25-year-old Kevin Cook in New York City’s Central Park this weekend, he was so disappointed by Cook’s outdated cell phone that he simply rejected it, the New York Post reports.

“Once he saw my phone, he looked at it like, ‘What the f–k is this?’ and gave it back to me,” the Brooklyn resident said.

The mugger and his accomplice both fled before police could apprehend them. Cook said the whole situation was “kind of humorous” — besides, you know, the fact that the would-be thief had a gun.

What about the Xperia line-up? The V (mid-range) and Z (high-end) are dust/waterproof.
