For the past few years, the LG V series has stood out as LG’s high-end multimedia phone, excelling in audio and video. They’ve also used the V series to experiment with some other ideas daring enough to not be fit for the mainstream G series — things like the second screen strip that functioned as a […]
TV,
Bang & Olufsen is known for audio and high-minded design — LG is known for almost single-handedly carrying the torch for OLED TVs. Last year, the two companies figured they’d both do what they’re good at and create a really special TV. Their work so far has culminated in the BeoVision Eclipse TV, and it will certainly […]
The LG V series of smartphones has become the brand’s answer to the Galaxy Note — a midseason upgrade to a flagship phone released earlier in the year. That’s never been more true than this year — while the the LG V30 has its unique features, it’s closer in physical design to the G6 than in years […]
LG won’t be revealing their new V30 smartphone until later this month, but they’ve slowly been sharing details about what we can expect when the big day comes. While LG’s G series is their flagship line, the V series is a bit more like the Galaxy Note — it takes all the premium features of the […]
Considering that the average smartphone gets used for two years, maybe, it’s no surprise that we haven’t seen many two-year warranties on smartphones until now. But, now that smartphones aren’t a growth market anymore, more and more people are settling down with their smartphones for longer amounts of time. Most of the players in premium smartphones […]
Ever since the likes of Bragi and Earin introduced us to true wireless earbuds, we’ve seen a deluge of competition from giants like Apple, Samsung, and Jabra to crowdfunded efforts like Skybuds. We’ve gotten to try a handful of them over the past year or so, but none of the products on the market have satisfactorily […]
TV,
We always see loads of cool stuff at CES, but one of the TVs LG brought to the show this year exceeded the usual lofty expectations. Their 77″ Signature OLED TV W is so thin, mounting it to the wall looks more like applying wallpaper. Being an OLED, being 77″, and being super thin, we […]
Now that the terrific LG G6 has been out for a few months, LG is ready to sell a few handsets to anyone who was holding out for a little more. The LG G6 Plus isn’t a bigger phone despite the name, but it does include some premium features usually only found in LG’s media-centric V […]
Ready for adventure? So is LG’s latest smartphone. Today they announced the X Venture, a 5.2″ low-cost Android 7.0 phone that sacrifices high-end specs for a tough as nails build and monster battery life. If you’re looking for a phone to take with you on extended camping trips, that might be a sacrifice worth making. […]
LG has a problem. Despite some great products, it continues to play second fiddle to fellow Korean giant Samsung. This is particularly true with phones. Last year’s G5 wasn’t a bad flagship, but LG’s modular approach made too many compromises in areas that really mattered, like materials and build quality. The result was a gimmicky […]
LG is going big at Mobile World Congress 2017. At the Barcelona show today, the company announced their 2017 flagship smartphone, the LG G6, and it’s a significant departure from last year’s G5 — a phone that took some risks that, ultimately, didn’t pay off. The G5’s marquee feature was a battery module that could be […]
Smartwatch news wasn’t good for anyone last year, but it was especially bad for the Android Wear crowd. Lenovo was the only Android Wear device maker in the top five at fourth, alongside Apple, Fitbit, Samsung, and Pebble — and the last one doesn’t even exist anymore. But, Apple reportedly saw good holiday sales following the release […]
No one ever stays on top for long. Samsung’s being one-upped in the smart refrigerator game by LG, thanks to a new fridge with a bigger display and support for Amazon Alexa. Soon, you’ll be asking Alexa to order groceries for you from the comfort of your kitchen. Who needs to go outside, anyway? The […]
The LG Tone has been a really niche product for a while now. The Bluetooth neckband has retractable earbuds at the tips, allowing you to listen to music by yanking out the buds — hey, they won’t get lost, right? At CES 2017, the company is demonstrating two new models, and they’re just as clever as […]
TV,
If there was any doubt about which company was going to rule TVs at CES 2017, it’s gone. LG has announced their 2017 line of TVs, and it’s headlined by the W7 Signature — the flexible OLED panel is so thin (thinner than any smartphone), it can only be mounted (looks more like affixed) to the […]
When LG launched the V10 last year we were pleasantly surprised. It wasn’t just a bigger version of the company’s impressive G4, but a phone with a uniquely rugged design, a secondary screen, dual selfie cameras, and advanced multimedia features. Things are different this year. LG arguably missed the mark with the G5, a fine […]
LG’s fall smartphone release is here, and it’s a follow-up to the audio/video monster that was the V10. The V20 sees a physical redesign and even more in the way of audio and video features, as well as a continued commitment to the replaceable battery (but not the modularity) established by the LG G5. And, LG […]
Berlin’s big technology bash is just about over, with the big announcements already in the bag. We’ve seen the usual suspects’ last pushes before the holiday shopping season, and while this year was a little lighter on the new and exciting, there was still plenty here certain to wind up on more than a few […]
Differentiation is tough in the 2016 smartphone market. Just about every flagship Android smartphone looks the same on the inside, forcing smartphone makers to bank on camera upgrades and physical design to get an advantage on the competition. With the G5, LG took a different approach by addressing a very vocal contingent of Android users […]
The LG G5 is one phone in the increasingly large crowd of flagship Android phones vying for attention and trying to knock Samsung off its perch. It’s also the most unique one, thanks to a removable bottom section that lets you swap out the battery, despite the G5 not having a removable back. After its […]
Mobile World Congress in Barcelona usually has the lion’s share of big Android smartphone reveals for the year. It definitely didn’t disappoint on that front in 2016, but there were plenty of other surprises at this year’s show that left us impressed. If you’re wondering what’s going to be hot in the world of mobile […]
