LG must be getting impatient about their G4, because they keep unveiling things, besides the device. The other day, LG decided to announce their newest 5.5 inch QHD LCD display panel that is expected to go on their upcoming LG G4. Yesteday LG has announced another feature on their next upcoming flagship device.
LG officially announced ‘LG UX 4.0′, which will make its debut on the highly-anticipated G4, and trickle down the ladder to other devices in the future. ‘LG UX 4.0′ is made to be simple. intuitive, and made for everyone. Other iterations of the UX brought us Q memo/Q slide, knock on, and gesture shot, but LG has added more on top of the bundle. A video of the UX can be seen below. Unfortunately it is in Korean.
The latest UX will come with a new “Quick Shot” feature which will allow the user to bring up the camera with two easy presses of the bottom volume button. This is a nice addition, as the rear-facing buttons are very convenient, especially now that the camera can be launched by two presses. It will also ship with an ‘expert mode’, which will most likely take advantage of Android Lollipop’s ability to manually expose images along with a RAW image format. For more of the features in-depth, check out the official press release here.
Aside from a few other features, LG’s newest UX is expected to make a very customized and smart experience to the user. Aesthetically, it seems as not much as changed, aside from a few tweaks to the icon to better suit Android Lollipop. Obviously, nothing is final until the LG G4 is debuted on April 28th.

Facebook begins testing WhatsApp integration
Last year Facebook acquired WhatsApp, a popular rival online messaging service, for $19 billion and appears to have begun testing some level of integration between the two services. Appearing in a new version of its Android app (v 31.0.0.7.13), Facebook allows users to send and share news directly to WhatsApp.
The new feature appears as a simple “send” button alongside the usual array of responses to a post. You can then share the item with a user in your WhatsApp contact list. However, I haven’t been able to find the button using Facebook v32, so perhaps this feature is only available to voluntary beta testers. See the screenshot below for a quick look.
How far Facebook and WhatApp will end up being integrated is currently unknown. Previously, WhatsApp CEO Jan Koum stated that the app would continue to function independently, but that doesn’t mean that the two apps couldn’t begin to share some common features. Rumors also suggest that in the future the two apps may share the option to send messages between each other, effectively sharing their contacts lists. There’s also the possibility that Facebook may be interested in WhatsApp’s online voice call technology.
For Facebook, just having users share additional content between the two platforms will likely drive more ad revenue its way and could help bring additional users to each of the two platforms.
We will have to see how integration with WhatsApp affects Facebook’s own Messenger service, or if the company intends to keep the two as distinctly separate platforms.

Retina MacBook Compared to MacBook Air in New Ukrainian Video
Ukrainian website Rozetka has compared the new 12-inch Retina MacBook with the 11-inch mid-2013 MacBook Air in a new video, providing a closer look at the physical design of the new MacBook and offering a side-by-side view of the different features between the notebooks. The video also highlights how the new MacBook, which measures 0.51″ at its thickest point, is nearly as thin as the original iPad (0.50″).
The video, spoken in Ukrainian language, provides an in-depth look at the new MacBook’s exterior design, display, keyboard, trackpad, unlit Apple logo and more, interspersed with stock video footage and screenshots of the notebook from Apple. The fifteen-minute clip complements Vietnamese website Tinhte‘s unboxing photos and video of the new MacBook that surfaced last week.
Apple’s 12-inch Retina MacBook will be available to purchase in silver, space gray and gold on April 10, the same day that Apple Watch pre-orders begin in the United States, Australia, Canada, China, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Japan and United Kingdom. The notebook starts at $1,299 for the base 256GB configuration, while a 512GB model with a slightly faster processor is available for $1,599.

Here’s how YouTube is making it easier to watch 4K video
It’s one thing to find 4K video, but it’s another thing to play it — the bandwidth needed to play high-quality 4K video could easily crush many home internet connections, let alone your mobile service. YouTube isn’t taking that challenge lying down, though. As the service explains, it has been encoding many videos in its newer VP9 format in recent months to make 4K more viable and improve the picture you see. The codec uses as little as half the bandwidth as the H.264 standard you see on many parts of the web, even as it bumps up the image quality by prioritizing sharp features and taking into account fast-moving elements in the footage, like water spray.
The result is video that not only starts playing sooner (since it spends less time buffering), but runs at resolutions that your connection might not otherwise handle. Even if your internet access isn’t up to handling 4K, this could still make the difference between watching in HD versus blocky standard definition. The real question is whether or not your favorite apps and devices can handle it. Chrome, Firefox and a lot of recent hardware (such as the Galaxy S6) have native support, but there’s no guarantee that it’ll be ubiquitous — not with the industry’s H.265 standard competing for attention, anyway.

Apple reportedly inviting more developers to test apps on Apple Watches
Apple has reportedly been inviting more developers to test their apps on Apple Watch hardware at the company’s labs in Sunnyvale, California.
While select developers have already had the chance to test their apps for the Apple Watch at Apple’s labs, most developers have had to make due without the hardware. But since their March 9 event, Apple is said to have opened up their labs to more developers, according to Financial Times:
Before March’s press event, only top-ranking iPhone developers such as Uber and Facebook were invited to Apple’s offices to test their Watch apps. In the weeks since then, however, it has opened to more, with about 20 developers a day visiting its labs, according to those who have been there.
Security is apparently still tight in the labs. It’s likely that internet access is still blocked inside the facilities, and developers are reportedly required to sign a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) and cover up the cameras on their iPhones.
A number of iPhone apps have already been updated with support for the Apple Watch, including apps like Dark Sky, Evernote, and Target. Apple has recently begun taking Apple Watch app submissions from all developers to prepare for the device’s launch on April 24.

T-mobile no longer offers Sony Xperia Z3 online
Despite creating beautiful devices, Sony hasn’t seen the growth in mobile that it has hoped for, which has led the Japanese giant to announce its plans to scale back its mobile efforts going forward. There are numerous possible reasons why Sony isn’t in a more dominant position in the mobile market, though lack of presence in North America certainly could play at least a small role.
This situation has been looking a little bit better with the Sony Xperia Z3, which made its way to T-Mobile and to also to Verizon, with the latter carrier offering a special variant dubbed the Z3v. Unfortunately, increased presence hasn’t necessarily translated to increased demand, as evidenced by the fact T-Mobile has now pulled the Xperia Z3 from its online store.
@Serotheo The Z3 is no longer available. Here are our current Sony devices: http://t.co/ijK7q3PuYq *JB
— T-Mobile (@TMobile) April 5, 2015
While there’s no way to say for sure that the uncarrier pulled the phone due to limited demand, we wouldn’t be too surprised. From a slow rollout of Lollipop to limited advertising in the US, the Sony Xperia Z3 just hasn’t made a big enough impression in the states and things aren’t liable to improve with new 2015 flagships like the One M8 and Galaxy S6 surfacing.

On the other hand, the Sony Xperia Z4 is likely just around the corner, with new images leaking today, and so perhaps T-Mobile simply ran low on inventory and decided to wait it out for the Z4 as opposed to working with Sony to secure more stock? Only time will tell for sure.

Intel’s PC on a stick is now available for pre-order
Like the idea of Intel’s Compute Stick turning your TV into a full-fledged Linux or Windows PC? You can finally plunk down some cash to get one. Online stores (including Amazon and Newegg) have started taking pre-orders for the HDMI dongle, which is now expected to ship by late April rather than the originally planned March release. Be careful about jumping in with both feet, though. While Newegg is selling the Windows 8.1 version of the Compute Stick for the expected $150, some retailers are charging over $100 for the Linux model instead of the official $89 — you’ll want to do some comparison shopping first.
