If you’re into your smartwatches and use an Android device, you’ll have noticed the lack of updates of both hardware and software recently. LG are planning to change all that with two new smartwatches, both running the new Wear 2.0 update. They were leaked by Evan Blass but …

Somebody recently asked what my main phone was. To be honest I have two – an iPhone 6s and an LG G5. The Android handset tends to win in the daily battle for my trouser pocket, and even though I’ve not made any use of the modular G5 …

The all-new Android Wear 2.0 is set to launch on two new smartwatches. Those watches, it seems, will look like this. This low-resolution photo is said to show the LG-made watches, which have been created alongside Google. One looks more “sporty” than the other but both come with …

Right, this is wearing me out now. Can we stop this Black Friday madness yet? No? Ohh OK then. Vodafone have a number of offers on both Pay monthly and Pay as you go smartphones. You can get thse from now until Monday, November 28th and some accessories …

We can talk about what comes after the smartphone until the thing is actually released. However the long touted next step towards the future has died a death before it even got started. According to the Electronic Times, LG is abandoning its modular approach that it launched with …

  Last year LG released the V10.  It is an unusual and quite novel phone that never officially made it to the UK, so coverage over here was quite limited.  The V10 was a whopper – a 5.7″ screen with a smaller 0.2″ secondary screen above (see the …

How do you cover a phone which effectively comes apart? Well, it is possible. The boys from MobileFun.co.uk sent us a few to try and, with the aid of video and some lovely photos, we’re going to have a look at them. First, for those of you who …

When we were in Barcelona ogling over the LG G5, we were contacted by most of the usual networks to say that they were ranging it. However… we noticed someone who wasn’t coming to the LG party. Three. We got in touch, and they told us that they …

I don’t know about you, but the one thing I want more than anything is a playful interface. I mean, an interface alone is great, but let’s make it a playful one eh? Let’s make it fun. Let’s make it lively, cheerful, impish and a little bit frisky …

Here’s a British actor with a stack of style and panache. He looks a lot like me too, which is good. Anyhow, I like a lot of his films, including the “Transporter” series. The first one was probably the best, but by “Transporter 3” we were in a …

LG have already announced their new X screen and X cam, but availability is now known and it will only be initially available in South Korea followed by Europe, Latin America and Asia. At this stage we don’t know if they will be available in the UK. Additional …

Newly-released high-end phones are always going to be expensive,  and the LG G5 is no exception. If you look on most online stores and want to get the SIM-free version it’s going to set you back around £529. However, there is a way to get it for £391.99 …

Yesterday we let you know about some of the pre-order deals available on the LG G5. Now it’s available to pre-order from Vodafone too. They’ll be doing the same deal on the Bang & Olufsen H3 in-ear headphones as Clove. If you put your name down now you’ll …

Stop right there. Before you go any further, head to our LG G5 hands-on for the low-down on this new handset. It’s got a range of additional gadgets, an always-on screen and that trick rear camera assembly that’ll combine normal and wide-angle photos. First, the bad news, and …

Many of you might not have it in your car just yet, but you can now get DAB in a phone if you buy the new LG Stylus 2 with DAB+. Many smartphones already have FM radio capability and, whilst it’s easy to plug your headphones in and …

The concept of this is really rather interesting, and it was pretty freeing to be able to take the LG G5 apart. That slide-out battery, which we initially saw yesterday, slides out from the G5 and then actually detaches from the bottom part too. Let’s get to the …

For reasons I can’t quite explain, I’ve taken a look at the new LG kit and I can’t help thinking that we’ve seen some of this stuff before. Bear with me, because this week I’m going to be powered by coffee and biscuits alone, but when I see …

Well, it’s not just a metal unibody we have here, this new LG G5 has a “modular type” design with a slide-out battery. It will arrive with some “companion devices” called “LG Friends”. a collection of companion devices, the G5 can be transformed into a Hi-Fi player, digital camera and …

Join us here in Barcelona for the best seat in the house. Things here will kick off at 1PM UK time, which is 2PM in the rest of Europe. https://youtu.be/mSb4upgFq-I LG have already announced a number of handsets, but this is definitely the big one. My last couple …

Before we delve into this article, I believe it is important to give a caveat – there are quite a lot of elements and assumptions in this “attack” for this V10 vulnerability to work. More than likely, the odds are limited in anyone achieving the attack. The YouTuber, …

There has been some indication recently that the new LG G5 will incorporate a number of new add-ons and accessories as part of a new mini-ecosystem. This eco-system will be known as “G5 with Friends” when the new flagship handset is launched. Each add-on (both attached and independent) are …

I’ve never really been a big fan of using phones with a stylus, but if you are, the LG Stylus 2 could be right up your street. It’s not, as you might initially think, a stylus. “Stylus” is actually the name of the phone. It’s an enhanced version …

Mobile World Congress is now tantalising close, and already LG have revealed some of the kit due to be shown off at the event. Their new devices are set to include “premium features without the premium price” and we will see the first two phones in the X …

It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out that the next premium LG handset will be the LG G5. It’s going to appear at Mobile World Congress, and there’s usually a couple of ways the mobile companies drum up interest ahead of a launch like this. You’ll …

It’s been apparent for a while that you don’t really have a product to release if there aren’t leaks of it before you’re ready to announce. This time it was LG’s turn with the up and coming LG G5, due to be announced on Feb 21 (the same …

Over the last year or so I’ve got to like the LG kit. I mean, don’t get me wrong. They’ve not paid me anything to say this. Sure, we love the LG Watch Urbane and we ased to borrow one. Didn’t get a response though. We also loved …

I don’t know about you, but upcoming phone models are a bit easy to guess. The next HTC One? It’s got to be the M10. The next Samsung Galaxy? That’ll be the S7. So it’s with little surprise to anyone that the next premium device from LG will …

Mobile World Congress is drawing closer and the inevitable rumour mill starts picking up pace. Also at this time of the year though we get a variety of figures from the companies regarding revenue and profits for the preceding year. Apples figures are eagerly awaited (even the BBC …

Picture the scene. I’ve got me a brand new LG G4. I’m polishing it, I’m treating it well and I’m being told that I spend too much time on it by the wife. It’s situation normal. But then, for some unexplained reason, it starts to reboot itself. It …

It probably hasn’t escaped your attention that there have been multiple events in the last few months. Apple started the rollercoaster unveiling the new iPhones & iPads. This was closely followed by a Google event unveiling its new Nexus phones (Nexii?) Chromecasts etc. There was also an LG …

Those canny folk over at Big Red have stolen a march on Black Friday by coming up with Vodafone Red Thursday… to cut a longish story short, Vodafone Red Thursday – today – is offering some pretty neat deals. They’re starting today, but there are more to come …

I’ve been in bed for two days straight with a serious case of man flu. It’s a burden us men have to bear, but we plod on without moaning about it, despite the lack of sympathy. There I sat, in bed, trying to fight the dreaded man flu …

Oh now, this is like shooting fish in a barrel. Yet another great deal on what is a very good smartphone. This one is from LG, and it’s the curved G2. This is a handset that was £459, but they’re now knocking it out for just £214.99 at Expansys. …

I need to go out this afternoon and buy a sander. A sander. Sheesh. What happened to me eh? If I didn’t have to get one of those, I’d probably upgrade my rather battered LG G3 for an LG G4 because, well, just check out these prices. At …

A couple of weeks ago we posted on here about Android manufacturers unable to patch devices in a timely fashion, and HTC being unable to commit to Google’s monthly update pledge. This was for a number of reasons, including the costs in developing security patches fast enough to release …

Hello again. Remember my afternoon with the LG G4? It was great. I had lots of tiny food and broke one of their displays. As I was being ejected from the event with pocket-fulls of miniature burgers, I knew, deep down, they were glad to have me there. …

Hot on the heels of the new and updated Samsung and Huawei smartwatches, LG has announced the second edition of their Urbane watch. With the majority of smartwatches running Android Wear, there is often little that manufacturers can do to differentiate their wares in terms of software. Much …

The eagerly anticipated refinement to the Nexus 5, the (very likely-called) 5X was prematurely listed before being swiftly pulled from the Amazon India website. Naturally, someone managed to grab all the details and there is a Reddit article floating around with the full run down of this devices …

I loved the Nexus 5, so much in fact that I bought 3, but when the Nexus 6 came around it just didn’t grab me. It was just that bit too big and let’s be honest, too expensive in comparison to the other versions. Well if the rumours …

Back in the day, when this site was still in nappies, we were looking at “proper” smartphones. They had numeric keypads on the front and tiny low-res screens up front. Cameras? Oh, they were a dream son. Some even had the audacity to be “flip” phones, which were …
