What do you think of the LG G Flex smartphone? We have already reviewed it and have come away pretty impressed, but this curvy device might have more than meets the eye, too. Apparently, word has leaked out that this particular smartphone will soon come with 4K video support after one installs the upcoming Android 4.4 KitKat update. This particular rumor does have some pretty solid backing, too, thanks to the existence of a User Agent profile that points in the direction of the 6” smartphone featuring 2160p video capability. Apart from that, the anonymous source of PhoneArena also did mention that the curvy LG G Flex will no longer offer 120fps slow motion video after this particular update is applied.

They say that good things come in a pair, and many smartphone manufacturers in recent memory have rolled out a “mini” version of their flagship device, such as Samsung with their Samsung Galaxy S4 mini (although it remains to be seen whether the Galaxy S5 will feature a mini version) as well as the HTC One mini. Well, South Korean manufacturer, LG, wants in on the game as well, which is why they have introduced the LG G2 mini to the masses that might be small in stature, but big on performance.

The LG G2 mini will feature a 4.7” display at 960 x 540 resolution, where a 2,440mAh battery will keep things running, at least for the entire day. Underneath the hood, you will be able to find a quad-core 1.2GHz Qualcomm MSM8926 (LTE) / MSM8226 (3G) processor, accompanied by a quad-core 1.7GHz NVIDIA Tegra 4i (LATAM LTE version) chipset, where there is 8GB of internal memory, 1GB RAM, an SD memory card slot for expansion purposes among others.

As for its connectivity options, the LG G2 mini will support the Bluetooth 4.0 standard, where there will also be Wi-Fi (802.11 b/g/n), A-GPS, and NFC (4G LTE version only) capability thrown into the mix. Depending on your taste, you can choose from Titan Black, Lunar White, Red, and Gold shades, although do take into consideration that the availability of the colors depend on the particular region.

It will run on the Android 4.4 KitKat operating system, where the entire chassis would measure a pocket-friendly 129.6mm x 66mm x 9.8mm. Expect the LG G2 mini to roll out globally this month with the 3G Dual SIM model in CIS countries, where it will be followed not too long after by major markets in the Middle East, Latin America and Asia, where among them include Singapore, Hong Kong and Taiwan, and Europe.

Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain, is one event that has certainly drawn its fair share of attention from the tech industry as well as anyone who is generally interested in mobile devices, and we have seen our fair share of smartphones and wearable technology there to date. The folks over at LG are not quite done with their repertoire of gadgets, having announced the LG F70 smartphone that will run on the most recent Android 4.4 KitKat operating system right out of the box alongside a slew of bells and whistles, targeting the fast growing LTE market around the globe.

LG has been a long-time industry leader in LTE patents, and the South Korean company continues to lead the charge when it comes to making 4G devices widely available around the world. Just what will the LG F70 bring to the table, or rather, to your pocket? For starters, you will not find yourself bogged down by its size, since it has a compact and slim chassis alongside a 4.5” WVGA IPS display, a quad-core 1.2GHz processor, and will be powered by a removable 2,440mAh battery which would put it in good stead to lay claim to having the largest capacity battery in its class, allowing users to experience the exceptional speed of LTE without having to run off to the nearest power outlet in the middle of the day.

Apart from that, the thin bezel and smooth rear design on the LG F70 would also contribute to its ease of use and comfortable grip. There is the addition of Easy Home which will help simplify the home screen, all the while increasing the size of icons and fonts so that one who is making a transition to a smartphone for the first time would be whole lot easier. Other features include the latest advanced UX feature, Knock Code, 4GB of internal memory that can be augmented via a microSD memory card slot, 1GB RAM, and a 5MP shooter at the back with a VGA front-facing camera. There is no word on pricing just yet.
