Hasta La Gadget!

Come 27th of May, LG is expected to announce their next flagship smartphone, the LG G3. LG has not really been coy about the handset, and it was recently that they uploaded a teaser video to tease us about its impending announcement. However in the meantime, @evleaks has managed to get a leaked render of the upcoming handset.

As you can see in the image above, the LG G3 is expected to make its way onto Verizon’s network, at least based on what we can see from the carrier logos plastered across the handset. As it stands we’re not sure which carriers the LG G3 will be making its way on, but we can only assume that it should at least make its way onto all the four major carriers – AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile, and Sprint.

As a quick recap for those who might have missed the news, the LG G3 is said to pack a 5.5-inch display with a QHD display, giving phones like the HTC One M8 and the Samsung Galaxy S5 a run for its money (at least until the Galaxy S5 Prime). It also appears to sport some kind of brushed metallic look, lending a more premium feel to the device, especially for those who might not appreciate plastic as much.

Availability has not yet been mentioned either, but presumably LG will have more details to share with everyone else come 27th May, so do check back with us then for the details. In the meantime, who else is excited for the LG G3?

It does seem to be the prevailing trend these days, where smartphone companies come up with a “mini” version of their respective flagship handsets instead of calling it by a totally different device name altogether.

I would suppose that this has something to do with not having to spend that much more money to market a new product name – just shrink down the existing design somewhat, remove or dumb down some features here and there, and voila! You have got a mini version of the current smartphone.

The alleged HTC One M8 mini is touted to roll out in Europe and Asia later this May, but what about those of us living Stateside? @evleaks has shared that the “HTC One M8 mini” is indeed “going to Verizon” via Twitter.

It makes some sense, really, considering how Verizon is already selling the original HTC One M8 that has picked up its fair share of bouquets ever since it rolled out.

As for the rumored hardware specifications, the HTC One M8 mini ought to be a mid-range smartphone that has a 4.5-inch display with 720 x 1280 pixels, Android 4.4 KitKat with Sense 6.0 UI, a 13MP rear camera, a quad-core Snapdragon 400 processor at 1.7GHz, 1GB RAM, and 16GB of internal memory.

Big Red likes to take its time when rolling out updates for devices, which means that users have to wait for quite a lot of time to get the latest software on their devices. Folks with LG’s existing flagship on Verizon can now get excited. The Verizon LG G2 Android 4.4.2 update has been released. It brings a host of improvements and tweaks as well as subtle user interface changes. The update will be rolled out over-the-air so it should pop up automatically on users’ devices.

Immediately after installing the update users will notice a new location menu as well as white status bar icons, this is staple on all KitKat updates. Other minor tweaks include improved visual voicemail, captions and color adjustment addition. Several things have been renamed in the update. For example, the “Magnification Gestures” label now reads “Touch Zoom.”

Verizon has tweeted that it is going to roll out Android 4.4.2 for LG G2 in phases. This means that the update would be available across all regions at the same time. Users will have to wait for it to go live in their particular region. Once it does, the Verizon LG G2 Android 4.4.2 update will be available for installation on the device itself.

In the middle of last month, we brought you whispers of the LG Lucid 3 that seemed bound for Verizon Wireless. Well, it seems that all of that waiting after slightly more than a month has come to fruition, where Verizon has unveiled the LG Lucid 3, a new and affordable Android-powered smartphone that is made by LG. This particular handset intends to continue from where the LG Lucid 2 left off, where it will arrive as a free smartphone on a 2-year agreement with Verizon. Of course, if you do not want to be tethered to a contract, you can always fork out $299.99 for the unlocked version.
