When I started reporting on the White Nexus 4 I was only really interested in a nice piece of cake. Now I feel it’s my duty to keep everyone abreast of the subject, and with that I bring you today’s edition of White Nexus 4 News. Firstly I …
Remember that lovely piece of cake I reported on back in January? You know, the one with the white Nexus 4 next to it. Well, there’s been another sighting of a white Nexus 4. Unfortunately there’s no sign of the cake though. This time the lesser spotted Nexus …
The guys from EVLeaks have just posted this over on their Facebook page. There’s not a great deal of information on what it is, and the presence of a large blue rectangle on the screen is raising more questions than answers. The handset could be a new Optimus …
LG are to begin producing curved OLED televisions in a matter of days. Soon your local electronics store will be brimming with”IMAX Style” screens which will mimic the screens found in your local cinema. The tech is based on organic LEDs which make the screens so thin that …
The LG Optimus F5 has a 1.2 GHz Dual-Core CPU and 4.3″ IPS (256ppi) screen. When we saw it at Mobile World Congress it was running Android Jelly Bean 4.1.2 and packs 8GB of storage, 1GB RAM and microSD expansion card. There’s dual cameras – a 5 megapixel …

Got £200? Good stuff, because you can always donate to keep us on the air 🙂 If you don’t fancy dishing out money to a worthy cause you can perhaps have a look at the Acer Cloud Mobile for £199.99. It’s got rave reviews and has a gorgeous …
We’ve heard rumours that the new Samsung Galaxy S4 will have eye-tracking technology. Last year, when the Galaxy S3 launched, we saw the “Smart Stay” technology. This held the backlight on provided your eyes were looking at the screen. The S4 is said to build on that, perhaps …
If you were part of the LG Mobile device team I’d imagine you’d be panicking today. The whole world awaits the next Galaxy device from Samsung and you and you’re team would be wondering what to do. Then they remember they have access to the billboards above the …
The LG Optimus G is an odd phone, sort of announced months ago at the same time as the Nexus 4. It never made it to these shores and has only just been made available. It has better specs than the Nexus 4 and a higher price as …
Remember last year? Remember NEC at Mobile World Congress 2012 ? They were showing off some rather swish handsets, but unfortunately they were all firmly behind glass and sadly not fully functional. The NEC Medias W really interested me however I couldn’t see a great deal of it …
LG announced the L Series as well as the F Series here at MWC and we managed to get a tour of the L Series devices this morning. Instead of having us talk through the details we thought it best to leave it to the professionals so managed …
Here at MWC we see lots of different designs from the various different manufactures, but touch screen input is all over the place. One device which has a slight twist on this is the LG Optimus Vu II which instead of the traditional widescreen format has opted for …
LG seem to have a lot to tell the world about recently. For some the barrage of model numbers and range names may be a little confusing. Leading up to the unveiling of their new devices LG have published details of what each range is about. The four …
Last year we all sort of lost sight of the Optimus G. It is the non Nexus version of the Nexus 4 and it was released around the world, just not in Europe. The European Optimus G will feature Jelly Bean 4.1.2. Zerogap Touch technology 4.7-inch 1280 x …
LG have gone a bit mad leading up to MWC, announcing what seems like every device they have up their sleeves ahead of the big event. Maybe it’s to remind people that their still hanging about waiting patiently in the aisles. Maybe it’s because a competitor announced what …
MWC is only a week away however it would seem that the mobile manufacturers cannot help themselves and are tripping up in their excitement. Not only are HTC expected to launch the HTC One tomorrow but LG are getting in on the act with the announcement of the …
Last week LG announced that they would be updating their Optimus L Series of budget Android smartphones, citing their worldwide popularity as the reason for the investment. I have to admit that I was surprised in December when LG announced sales of 10 million L Series handsets. After …
A few days ago details about the upcoming budget L Series Optimus range from LG appeared online which we covered here. The Optimus L3 II, L5 II and L7 II all looked to be solid budget devices for those looking for a cheaper phone. LG have now officially …
Don’t you love a leaky Korean? Err… That didn’t come out right. Don’t you love it when a Korean website leaks a series of new LG handsets ahead of their planned announcement? There, that makes more sense. LG’s L3, L5 and L7 are quirky little square(-sh) phones. This …
MWC is coming, we’re going to be there and so are lots and lots of manufacturers. Including LG by the looks of it, no doubt spurred on by the success? Of the LG Nexus 4 and the LG Optimus G. They have posted a video on their YouTube …
You know the deal by now. These things are a pain to get hold of, so when they appear on the Google Play store you go and get one. The 8GB is sitting in my basket right now. Unlocked, it’s a snip at £239. We mentioned earlier that …
Want a Nexus 4 but don’t want the common old black version that everyone else has? Well, you may be in luck as it looks like there could be a white one on the way! Vietnamese tech site Tinh te has a series of photos which show a …
The issues surrounding Google’s flagship Android Jellybean-touting handset are well documented. Google and LG have blamed each other for the worldwide shortage and customers have been left rather angry and miffed at the lack of ability to order the cut price handset. Well, various Play stores around the …
LG’s head of mobile, Cathy Robin, has today spoken to the French business publication Challenges in an attempt to shift blame for the issues with the Nexus 4 ordering onto search giant Google. In the interview, she stated that “Google had forecasts calculated according to their previous sales …
Can’t get yourself a Nexus 4? Are you one of the unfortunates who tried to place an order on the Google site, only to be knocked back at the last minute? Well worry no more. Get your nose out of the keyboard, dry those tears, because Virgin Mobile …
I’ve been curious about the Nexus 4 for quite some time. So much so that I bought one but my main curiosity has been the process for getting it into consumers hands. Its been fraught with problems and their seems to be some significant shortages and waiting …
We all know what a mess the Google Play Store made of selling the LG Nexus 4. Some people think it’s part of a bigger conspiracy to rip off networks and consumers. Others think it’s all LGs fault and others like me no longer care. Either way, there …
As we all know by now, the Nexus 4 launch has not been the best it could have been. Getting one from Google has been difficult at best whilst other retailers availability has been better their prices are also higher. Dan Cobley, Managing Director of Google UK …
While I do love my Nexus 4, I did spend a fair amount of time in my review, and on the podcast, discussing its design flaws. Although the glass back might look and feel great, it certainly doesn’t help with durability or handling. It’s an accident waiting to happen, both …
Ahh, the Nexus 4, the latest and greatest phone you can’t get hold of. If you are lucky enough to get one, you will soon realise you need protection for it. I prefer bumper cases to full cases, as they don’t add too much bulk to the original …
I remember many years ago a phone was a phone, you could text people, you could call people and if you were lucky you could play Snake on your phone too. Jump forward 15 years and we have a totally different world and totally different phones. My outlook …
Google has announced that the Nexus 4 will be back in stock and ready for purchase at 5pm UK time today. Hopefully this will be the start of continuous stock. This happened in the US last week with the device quickly selling out and delivery times stretching up …
Having finally got my hands on a Nexus 4 yesterday (massive thanks to Dan!) I wanted to write down some quick first impressions before I do a full review. Screen Wow! What an upgrade. So much sharper than the Gnex. Everything looks crystal clear. The improvement is just …
Smartphones are now available in all different shapes and sizes, from high end to mid range to low end. Along with this variation in range is a large variation in price but one thing that is certain is that you will be shelling out an awful lot of …
Have you been waiting on the Nexus 4 to come back into stock on the Google Play store rather than pay over the odds elsewhere? Then there is some semi good news to be had. If you are in the US then stock will be coming back online …
News is emerging of a possible successor to the LG Optimus G. The device which can be described as nothing other than high end is said to contain the following: 1080p Full HD display 2Ghz Quad-core Qualcomm S4 Processor Android 5.0 Key Lime Pie 2Gb Ram The handset …
Exciting news for anyone waiting to get their hands on a shiny Nexus 4! More back orders are ready to ship to customers. Luckily I managed to get an order in after they initially went on sale but it ended up on back order due to demand. We expected …
OK, so you spent your entire time on launch day pressing refresh but still had no joy. Some of us have even sold your old handset so that we can order the newest, latest greatest one – the amazing vanishing LG Nexus 4. Well, a tiny little bit …
Seekers of the mythical Nexus 4 now have another opportunity to not get one… at least not yet. 🙂 Three have announced that they will be selling Google & LG’s latest and greatest handset. Unfortunately it’s not available straight away, so if you’re not the patient type your …
