The LG V30 will be announced at the end of the month, although given how much we know about the phone thanks to leaks and also thanks to LG revealing some details as well, we reckon that there’ll probably be little to no surprise when the phone does launch. In fact here’s one more feature of the LG V30, and it comes in the form of haptic feedback.
This feature will be provided by Immersion, who for those unfamiliar actually sued Apple back in 2016 over haptic feedback technology that based on the description sounded like it was quite close to Apple’s Force Touch feature that was introduced in the iPhone 6s. However the company believes that with the HD TouchSense feature that they’ll be introducing to the LG V30, it will be a different experience.
Speaking to 9to5Google, David Birnbaum, Experience Design Director at Immersion said, “For example, in the camera app, when you take a picture you feel a shutter click, just like a DSLR; when you adjust camera settings, it feels like you’re spinning a finely tuned mechanical knob. When you dismiss a notification, navigate from one home screen to another, and perform several other interactions, you feel subtle effects that match the animations perfectly, resulting in better usability and perceived design quality.”
It actually sounds rather interesting, although whether or not the haptic feedback will end up feeling a bit like a novel piece of technology remains to be seen. After all it’s not as if many OEMs are rushing to put similar technology into their phones either, but we guess we’ll have to wait and find out.

Recently the US Army issued an order to cease the use of DJI-branded drones immediately. Apparently this was due to security/privacy concerns after it was discovered that the data being recorded by the drone was being sent to servers stored outside of the US, which for the US Army did seem rather alarming.
However perhaps in a bid to win back the trust (and contract) with the US Army and other governments around the world, DJI has since announced that they’ll be introducing a new feature to their drones which will allow drone users to fly their drones without internet data transfer, meaning that whatever data is being recorded while it flies will no longer be transmitted back to DJI’s servers.
According to DJI, “DJI’s flight control apps routinely communicate over the internet to ensure a drone has the most relevant local maps and geofencing data, latest app versions, correct radio frequency and power requirements, and other information that enhances flight safety and functionality. When a pilot enables local data mode, DJI apps will stop sending or receiving any data over the internet, giving customers enhanced assurances about the privacy of data generated during their flights.”
However the company does warn that by using local data, certain features might not be updated in real time, like geofencing information, maps, and so on. However if privacy and security is something you’re more concerned over, then this new feature should be a welcome on.

Apps such as Skype, WhatsApp, LINE, KakaoTalk, Discord, Facebook Messenger, and more all share a similar feature, and that is that they are available on mobile as well as computers. This means that users have the option of either chatting on their phones or desktops, depending on which is more comfortable or convenient.
Google’s Allo messenger on the other hand is currently only limited to mobile, but that’s something that is expected to change soon. Earlier this year Google teased that Allo would soon be coming to the web, and just last month it was suggested that its launch was only a few weeks away, and it looks like we could be inching closer to that reality, thanks to a sighting in the Allo mobile app that mentions “Allo for web” in its sidebar.
However when clicking on the link, the website isn’t actually live at the moment so we guess it seems like Google is just getting things ready. The process to use Allo for the web is similar to using WhatsApp for the web, where users use their mobile devices to scan a QR code generated by the web client to confirm their account and to sync it.
Once that’s done it seems that users can start chatting. It is unclear as to what features will be available for the web version and if it will differ from the mobile app, but we’ll be keeping our eyes and ears peeled for when Allo for web is eventually launched.
