Google Nexus 5 Review

Google Nexus 5 Review

The Google Nexus One was strictly a developer device, with promises of instant updates and stock Android experience. It did not retail at prices that undercut the competition($530) but managed to become the only device that had the latest Android version. The Nexus S was similar, but with Galaxy Nexus, Google managed to price it surprisingly lower than the competition with similar hardware, thanks to introduction of the Google Play ecosystem. Somehow, from being a costly developer device, the Nexus became a highly desirable and affordable device, that brought users the best Google experience.

Oppo R829 image surfaces online

The sheer volume of Chinese manufactures has seldom helped us in remembering them, but among them a few companies do stand out and one among them is Oppo. Having produced only a handful of smartphones so far, Oppo have “made it large” because of their hardware and design language in their phones. Oppo have just launched their Oppo N1 and today we have images of what is probably the company’s next smartphone – Oppo R829.

LG G Flex Camera Samples

When Samsung announced the world’s first curved display smartphone, we expected the entire tech industry to follow. Though the form factor has little practical usage, every company had to prove that they were indeed capable of producing a curved display smartphone with no practical use. LG, Samsung’s rival from homeland to International market, were the next to follow with LG G Flex. LG proved me wrong about the practical usage part as their LG G Flex was capable of being bent(unlike Samsung’s curved smartphone – Samsung Galaxy Round) and also came with a special material at the back that allowed automatic healing of scratches.

LG G Flex Photo Gallery

Samsung was the first company to announce and launch a smartphone with a curved display – Samsung Galaxy Round. Soon after that, LG announced their curved display phone – LG G Flex. However, despite coming late to the party, LG equipped their G Flex with features like a bendable display and a bendable body. In addition to the bendable nature of the phone, it comes with a special material at the back that can heal the scratches that the phone suffers. This is one of a kind innovation from LG and pretty soon we can expect this ability to feature in most smartphones.
