If you thought the LG G4 was lacking a bit for power, then you’ll be happy to hear that it’s bigger brother could be packing lots of it. LG isn’t unfamiliar with the practice of pushing out a larger version of its flagship devices – a la the LG G Pro 2 – so it’s no surprise to hear rumours that the Korean manufacturer is readying a device called the LG G4 Pro that will essentially be a bigger, badder version of the LG G4. Headlining the alleged specifications of the G4 Pro are a Snapdragon 820 processor, 4GB RAM and an impressive 27 MP camera which should put any naysayers firmly to bed.
Other notable specs are a 5.8-inch Quad HD display, a 8MP front camera and is allegedly going to have an all-metal body. If all that has got you salivating, you’ll need to keep hydrating because the device isn’t due out till October – at least, that’s what the report says, and of course that’s after taking this news with a grain of salt. It’s definitely a plausible strategy for LG to engage in, so we’ll have to wait and see if any other LG G4 Pro related rumours drop in the near future.

Best Android phones [June 2015]
There are a wide range of smartphones that are up for grabs today with varying price points. So it can get a bit tricky to pick the best of them, mainly due to the sheer volume of devices. Some handsets, however, stand out in the crowd and we’re going to discuss the best of the best. Choice is one of the best things about choosing an Android device over other platforms.
The phones listed here have all been released by the end of June.
OnePlus One
Despite being on the market for an entire year, the OnePlus One continues to make its way onto our list on the basis of price and performance. It runs a clean, customized version of Android in the form of OxygenOS and that makes the overall experience even better.
Right now, the model with 16GB of internal storage is available for $249 and $349 returns 64GB of internal storage along with year-long subscription of Dropbox Pro. The OnePlus One features a 5-inch display (1920×1080), 13MP rear camera, 5MP front-facing camera, Snapdragon 801 processor, 3GB of RAM, and a 3,100 mAh battery. It runs Android 5.0.2 Lollipop and this summer should see Android 5.1 arrive in the form of a software update.
Samsung Galaxy Note 4
This is another device from last year that has held up months later. The Galaxy Note 4 goes to show that some devices have stood the test of time quite convincingly. The Galaxy Note 4 was launched amidst plenty of hype and buzz during IFA 2015 in September. The smartphone was soon to be overshadowed by the launch of the Apple iPhone 6 and the iPhone 6 Plus, but that doesn’t change the fact that this is a stellar handset.
Following the long range of Galaxy Note devices, this one too comes with the iconic S-Pen, an accessory that has some fancy tricks up its sleeve. On the hardware front, customers are greeted to a 5.7-inch display (2560×1440), 16MP rear camera, 3.7MP front-facing camera, Snapdragon 805 processor, 3GB of RAM, 32GB of internal storage with a microSD card slot, Android 5.0.1 Lollipop, and 3220 mAh battery.
The Galaxy Note 4, even though its approaching the anniversary of its release, still maintains a high two-year contract price. With a two-year contract, the price is $299. Without a contract, the Galaxy Note 4 costs around $699. And any carriers with payment plans charge around $29 per month. The Galaxy Note 4 really gives you what you pay for.
Nexus 6
The Nexus 6 was originally supposed to be an Android Silver device before the program was scrapped by Google. The program was touted to bring high-end hardware to consumers, a shift from the principles of selling stock Android devices on the cheap.
Although its size was a bit of a disappointment for the customers, there’s no denying that it is by far the best Nexus device to be sold by Google, perhaps after the Nexus 4 and 5. We highly doubt anyone would give the Galaxy Nexus that acclaim.
The handset has a massive a 5.96-inch display (2560×1440), 13MP camera, 2MP front-facing camera, 3GB of RAM, an abundance of internal storage, Snapdragon 805 processor, Android 5.1 Lollipop, and 3220 mAh battery housed inside.
The device, available directly from Google and select retailers, will set you back by $649 and $699 for the 32 and 64GB models, respectively. Don’t forget that the Nexus 6 will likely be among the first devices to receive Android M when it launches this fall.
LG G4
The LG G4 was announced recently and is only making its way to the markets now. It’s the company’s flagship handset, which means you’re getting the very best of LG. The smartphone is selling for just under $600 from T-Mobile off contract, which is a remarkable price for a flagship smartphone.
It features all the necessary hardware to grab your attention, including a 5.5-inch display (2560×1440) and an impressive design with a leather rear panel option available as well. The device hosts a 16MP camera with an f/1.8 lens underneath its gorgeous exterior and is accompanied by an 8MP front-facing camera with an aperture size of f/2.0, which is quite impressive for a front camera.
Other specifications, too, make the G4 the beast that it is. The internal storage is set at 32GB but is expandable by 2TB through a microSD card slot. The G4’s hexa-core processor, the Snapdragon 808, is paired with 3GB of RAM so performance is not an issue. For those looking to get the G4, T-Mobile is offering a 128GB microSD card for free along with the device, thus offering you an added incentive to get the device from Team Magenta.
The price of the G4 is set around $599 without a contract but carriers have payment plans to spread the cost across twenty-four months.
Samsung Galaxy S6, Galaxy S6 Edge
Adjudged the best smartphones available in the market, the Galaxy S6 and the Galaxy S6 Edge have topped the performance and usability charts from critics and users alike. In addition to featuring a groundbreaking design and technology underneath, the Galaxy S6 and the Galaxy S6 Edge were also voted to be sporting the best camera sensors in the industry by DxOMark, which is an industry approved site for judging mobile camera performance.
If you’re in the market for a flagship Android phone and money is no bar, you can’t do much better than the Galaxy S6 or the Galaxy S6 Edge right now. The smartphones are available from all major carriers as well as plenty of retailers, so you have a multitude of options to get either of the two devices.
The Galaxy S6 comes with a 5.1-inch Quad HD display, 16MP rear camera, 5MP front-facing camera, Exynos 7420 processor, 3GB of RAM, 32/64/128GB options when it comes to internal storage, Android 5.0.2 Lollipop or higher, and a 2550 mAh battery. The Galaxy S6 Edge has the same hardware specs sheet but with the curved edges on either side and a slightly larger 2600 mAh battery pack.
The Galaxy S6 starts from $599 off-contract, while the pricing for the Galaxy S6 Edge starts from $699 from major carriers in the United States. Of course, you can also get the devices by signing a two-year contract for $199.99 and $299.99, respectively.
What devices do you think are among the best available right now? Let us know in the comments.

T-Mobile giving away LG G Pad F 8.0 for Father’s Day
Those looking for an affordable tablet to give dad for Father’s Day should probably stop searching now (or at least take a second to consider this awesome deal). T-Mobile is giving away the LG G Pad F 8.0 for anyone signing up with a qualified plan.
So here are the details. You have to sign up under and installment plan and activate the device on postpaid Simple Choice Mobile Internet plan of with least 1 GB of data (you can opt for more, if you need to). The monthly $9.99 installment plan charge will continue to show up on your bill, but there will also be a $9.99 credit labeled as “LG Tablet Promotion 2015″.
This makes the LG G Pad F 8.0 completely free for those who pay for the service. The credit will continue to be added for 24 months as long as you keep the service alive. Cancel the plan and T-Mobile will also cancel your monthly credit, and then you would just have to pay the remainder of the full price, which totals to $239.76.
Is this tablet worth your time and money, though? Let’s see.
LG G Pad F 8.0 specs
- Android 5.0 Lollipop
- 8-inch 1280x800p display
- 1.2 GHz quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 processor
- 1 GB of RAM
- 16 GB of internal storage
- 5 MP camera with flash
- 4G LTE connectivity
- 4200 mAh battery
- 8.3 x 4.89 x 0.35 inches
- 12.31 ounces
So you can tell right off the bat this is no high-end gadget; the price itself tells you that much. Does your dad need a high-end device, though? If he is not a hard-core user, chances are he will be using it for mundane things, such as social networking, browsing, emails, media consumption and the like. This tablet should handle those tasks pretty well, and even the occasional casual game.
I wouldn’t say you go out of your way to sign up for this deal unless you were already planning to get an affordable tablet with carrier service. It’s certainly a good deal, but you will be locked with paying for service for a whole two years. Not much better than a contract, if you ask me.
Are you considering signing up for one of these? If so, do keep in mind T-Mobile is only offering this deal while supplies last and for a limited time. The dates are not specified, so you best get on it soon!
LG extends deadline for G4 battery and microSD card promotion
LG has extended the deadline for its G4 promotion by roughly nine days. If you’re on the prowl for a new flagship experience and have been thinking about the G4 you’ll definitely be interested in the limited-time deal.
Buy the LG G4 from an authorized outlet and you can pick up a free battery, battery charging cradle, and a 32GB microSD card. Indeed, LG will toss all of that your way at no additional cost. It’s just their way of saying thanks for picking up one of the best devices of 2015.
Once you purchase your phone head to LG’s website, fill out the form, and submit a picture of the IMEI and your receipt.
It’s worth pointing out that this one is limited to buyers in the United States.

T-Mobile offering free tablet promotion for Father’s Day
Need to get dad something nice for Father’s Day? T-Mobile thinks he’ll appreciate a new tablet. What’s more, it also believes you’ll appreciate the pricing.

Essentially, you agree to pay $10 per month for 24 months for the data and the tablet’s free. Cancel before the two year period and you’ll have to pay for the remaining tablet balance of up to $239.76.
The LG G Pad F 8.0 is an Android 5.0 Lollipop tablet with an 8-inch display. Internal specifications include a 1.2GHz quad-core processor, 16GB storage, and microSD expansion. You’ll also find a 5-megapixel rear camera and a 2-megapixel front-facing shooter.
Note that this promotion is limited to a select number of tablets and once they’re gone, they’re gone. Also worth pointing out, a credit check is required as well.

LG Nexus with 3D camera allegedly being readied in the shadows

When LG came out with the LG Optimus 3D four years ago, the 3D camera that adorned its back was deemed to be actually pretty good, however it was let down by disappointing internal hardware and performance. Since then, LG has almost become a byword in performance and the manufacturer of some of the best devices we’ve seen in recent years. So it might not be a surprise that rumours are saying Google has asked LG to revisit the 3D camera on its Nexus device, which with today’s hardware would be a tantalizing prospect.
The same report says that such a LG Nexus with 3D camera would also have dual infrared sensors on the front of the device which would give it 3D display capabilities a la the Amazon Fire Phone. While the Fire Phone was famously a dud for Amazon, we’d be interested to see where it would go on a Nexus device. The report goes on to say that this LG Nexus would ship with Android M in October, and frankly anything but would be a disappointment. Of course, we’ll have to wait and see if any of this ends up being true, but to imagine that Google is interested in exploring more niche technologies in its Nexus devices is pretty exciting.

LG Minibeam Nano: a tiny, affordable projector for your smartphone
A new wave of projectors has been hitting the market, targeting mobile users who want to take their large-scale media entertainment wherever they go. The most popular around here is probably the ZTE Spro 2 (read our review for all the details), but competing manufacturers like Lenovo and ASUS are not staying behind. And today we have LG joining the fight for your wall with a very enticing offer.
Enter the LG Minibeam Nano, which the manufacturer claims is the “smallest, lightest and most affordable projector to date”. We won’t know about the latter claim until we test this little guy, but we can attest to the fact that it is pretty small and light. The Minibeam Nano weighs only 270 grams, and it measures 108 x 103 x 44 mm. It looks rather cute, but we shouldn’t underestimate it based on its looks.
LG Minibeam Nano details
It seems like a pretty good projector, packing an LED lamp that can project 100 ANSI lumens of brightness and a 100,000:1 contrast ratio in an image that can be expanded as much as 100 inches. You may want to upgrade on the 1W mono sound by plugging some speakers through the headset jack, but that is a given for any projector. These machines never come with great sound.
The LG Minibeam Nano sports an HDMI input and a USB port (which can be used for displaying HD DivX and Office documents from a thumb drive. The real kicker here is that it features wireless streaming and mirroring from smartphones, tablets and other devices. It does support WiFi Direct and Miracast, which we know a plethora of devices offer.
Yes, you can also take this little guy on-the-go. What good would its size be without real portability? The device has an integrated 3800 mAh battery that is said to last about 2 hours on a full charge. Enough for a good movie or a long presentation.

Pricing and availability
LG is staying pretty quiet about pricing for now, which is a bummer, because they claim it’s super cheap and we are interested to see how accessible this handy projector will be. What we do know is the LG Minibeam Nano will be available starting this month in North America, Asia, Europe, Africa, the Middle East and Latin America. Exact price and availability will depend on the market.
Who is buying? Also, how much cash would you be willing to fork out for one of these?
LG G4 promotion extended – get a free microSD card, spare battery and charger by June 30th
The LG G4 is an amazing phone for many reasons, but two of its key features are definitely the microSD card slot and removable battery. These are characteristics most smartphone manufacturers have been doing away with, despite users begging to keep them on board. This is why the Korean manufacturer decided to highlight these now-rare features with its G4 promotion, which has just received a time extension.
Let’s refresh your memory about this awesome offer, just in case you have forgotten about it. Any LG G4 buyer has the chance to get a free 32 GB microSD card, spare battery and a charging cradle for said battery ($105 value). They just have to offer proof of purchase and fill out a form before June 21st. It made buying an LG G4 pretty much a no-brainer for many of our readers, and now more of you can join the festivities.
Life is Good with LG, as they have just decided to extend the offer period until June 30th. So if you were thinking about purchasing the phone a little later and were worried you would no longer be able to take advantage of this, you can rest assured knowing you have at least a little more time to get your new handset.
Do keep in mind this promotion is still limited to the US, but it does cover both carrier and retailer purchases (including Amazon, Best Buy, Costco, Sam’s Club, Target, Walmart and other authorized dealers). You should be in the clear. Just go ahead and take care of the form, which is at LG’s official offer page. It needs to be turned in by July 14th. If you are submitting it by snail mail (seriously?!), the letter has to be postmarked by the same date, and it has to get to LG’s facilities by July 21st.
Those of you who are on the fence about buying the device should definitely go ahead and check out our full LG G4 review. It’s one hell of a phone, and we have a lot to say about it.
