Hasta La Gadget!

We do know that Samsung have been preparing to hold a new Unpacked event at Mobile World Congress this coming February 24, and chances are pretty high that they will use that particular event to unveil the much talked about Samsung Galaxy S5 flagship. Of course, a flagship device does not automatically mean that it will do well in the market, as there are other factors to think of such as market sentiment in addition to products from rivals. Its South Korean rival, LG, has some tricks up their sleeves as well, and as good as the LG G2 (as seen above) is at the moment, you can bet your bottom dollar that the future successor to this handset, tipped to be known as the LG G3 as at press time, will come packed with even more technology underneath the hood.

Valentine’s Day is almost here and as such, there is no shortage of red stuff on the market. Red versions of gadgets like smartphones can make great gifts. Just be sure you or the person you are gifting can live with red on a daily basis.

Case in point: Google and LG have announced a new red version of the Nexus 5 that launched late last year.

Other than being bright red on the outside, the device has the same features as the earlier model. That means the phone runs a Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 processor and rocks a full HD 5-inch screen. Power comes from a 2300 mAh battery and the smartphone is just 8.59mm thick.

It runs Android 4.4 KitKat, which is the latest OS version available. With the red version in the mix, the phone now comes in three colors including red, black, and white. You can order the Nexus 5 in any of its colors for $349(USD) for the 16GB model or $399 for the 32GB.

Hmmm, when you have a handset with a name like the LG Optimus L1 II Tri, you start to wonder just what the heck is it all about. Why not throw in the word “quad” at the end of it? Then you would end up with the LG Optimus L1 II Tri Quad to denote a quad-core processor, now how about that? Anyways, back to reality, the LG Optimus L1 II Tri is part of the Optimus series with the capability of supporting up to a trio of SIM cards, and as the user, you will be able to switch between them using a dedicated key.

MWC 2014 is around the corner and we expect that many smartphone and tablet manufacturers will take the opportunity to announce something new. LG is one of those companies and we expect that the LG G Pro 2 will most likely be announced then. So far what we do know is the the handset does exist. The handset will also be a follow up to last year’s LG G Pro which was designed to compete with the Galaxy Note 2, meaning that we can expect something of the phablet variety with the LG G Pro 2 as well. Now as far as other specs are concerned, we have only heard the rumors, but thanks to a new post by LG Korea, they revealed the LG G Pro 2 will feature a 13MP camera with OIS Plus technology.

As we’re sure some of you guys know, OIS stands for Optical Image Stabilization which basically helps reduce blurred photos caused by movements from your hand. So with OIS Plus, it’s essentially the same thing but will combine software-based image stabilization with hardware-based stabilization, and will also reportedly help capture sharper photos in low-light situation as well, which was one of the notable features of the LG G2. Other features of the LG G Pro 2’s camera includes the ability to capture video at UHD resolution, so if making 4K videos is your thing, perhaps the LG G Pro 2 could be worth keeping an eye on.
