Hasta La Gadget!

The LG G2 has been out for some time already, and Verizon customers are able to pick up one of these handsets any time that they like, although they will only be able to choose from one color – that would be black. However, it does seem that a recent leak could point to something else that might appeal to those who want their smartphones to arrive in a color other than boring black. On the Twitter page over at @evleaks, there was a photo posted up which does seem to resemble that of a white LG G2 handset complete with a Verizon Wireless logo that has been stamped on the back.

So far, the folks over at Verizon has not given away any indication in particular that they will start to sell the white version of the LG G2 anytime soon, but I suppose that might change in the near future if the leaked image from serial leaksters @evleaks happen to turn out to be true. Would you pick up a white version of the LG G2 just for the sake of it looking different from the current model in terms of its color? One thing’s for sure, the LG G2, regardless of which color it comes in, is a pretty fly and highly functional smartphone.

The LG G2 is an impressive device and is admittedly one of the better LG phones we have reviewed to date. Some of the features we loved was its display and camera, which surprisingly performed very well under low-light conditions, giving Apple’s iPhone 5 a run for its money. Well the good news is that if you were looking for a new phone but were on a tight budget, you might be interested to learn that Verizon is now offering the LG G2 for free, although you will need to sign with a new two-year contract with the carrier, and use the VZWDEAL promo code in order to claim the device for free for yourself. The deal is only available until the 11^th of November, so if you’re still on the fence, now’s as good a time as any!

For those unfamiliar with the LG G2, this is LG’s flagship device for 2013. The handset will feature a 5.2” Full HD IPS display, and with 1920×1080 pixels crammed into that 5.2” display, you can look forward to a pixel density of 432ppi. The LG G2 will also be powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 quad-core processor clocked at 2.26GHz, a 13MP rear-facing camera with optical image stabilization, a 2.1MP front-facing camera, and a 3,000mAh battery to top things off. If this sounds like the phone for you, hit up Verizon’s website for the details, and don’t forget to use the promo code to claim the free device!

LG G2 For Verizon To Go Free On Contract Until 11th November original content from Ubergizmo.

Last month we started hearing rumors that Verizon is going to launch its very own affordable 7 inch tablet soon. It did indeed, last week, Verizon launched the Ellipsis 7 tablet. The tablet is actually part of a new lineup of devices called Ellipsis, though the carrier has not clarified exactly which type of devices will be offered under the Ellipsis brand in the future, apart from the 7 inch tablet. Specifications of this tablet have finally been revealed on Verizon’s website, its pretty much what you’d expect from a tablet in this price range.

The Verizon Ellipsis 7 tablet has a 1,280×800 LCD 7 inch display, a 1.2GHz quadcore processor from an undisclosed manufacturer, 1GB RAM, 8GB of onboard storage with the option for external expansion via microSD cards, a 4,000mAh battery and a 3.2 megapixel rear camera. It is compatible with Verizon’s 4G LTE network. The tablet is powered by a near vanilla Android 4.2 Jelly Bean, so Verizon might not have slapped a custom skin on top but it will definitely install a lot of third-party applications, including but not limited to RedBox, Amazon, iHeartRadio and other apps. The Verizon Ellipsis 7 tablet is available for sale online and in the carrier’s retail stores, off contract it costs $250. With a two year contract, the tablet’s price goes down to $149.99.

As we’re sure you guys are aware of, the Google Nexus 7 can be used with Verizon’s LTE network, making it a relatively affordable tablet with LTE connectivity, undoubtedly helping its appeal to customers. Unfortunately for Verizon customers, it seems that they are unable to get LTE to work on their tablets, with Verizon apparently unwilling to activate the tablet for LTE connectivity for customers who bought it through the Google Play store despite the tablet being advertised that it works on Verizon’s LTE network.

According to Verizon, it seems that this is not their fault, but rather the fault lies with both Google and ASUS, who told Verizon to wait for them to sort it out. It seems that Google was too focused on releasing Android 4.4 KitKat and thus neglected to address the “systems issue” that was apparently plaguing the device. Instead, Google and ASUS told Verizon to wait until the update had been rolled out to the tablet before Verizon was allowed to provided certification for the device to be used on its network.

Obviously there’s no telling how long it will be until Android 4.4 KitKat makes its way onto the Nexus 7, but apparently if one were to insert an existing Verizon LTE SIM into the Nexus 7, it should have no problems hooking onto Verizon’s LTE network. That might be a temporary solution until the update has been released, although a recent tweet by @evleaks would suggest that the wait might not be as long as we might think.
