AT&T Giving Away 500 LG G4 Smartphones

LG has a monster smartphone on their hands this year. The G4 refines everything we liked about last year’s G3, while improving the screen and vaulting their camera into one of the best performers of the year.

AT&T has just started pre-ordering for the phone, but if you’re really lucky, you might be able to win a G4 from Big Blue. Every 4,000 seconds they’re going to give one away. There’s also a grand prize of an LG 4K TV which will be given away at the end of the month.

You can catch our full review of the LG G4, and links to our full collection of comparison videos below!

UPDATE from AT&T – Samsung Announces Galaxy S6 Active

CGlodt8UIAA98cp.jpg largeUPDATE!

AT&T has finally weighed in! The Galaxy S6 Active will be available starting June 12. They’re being frustratingly coy about pricing, just giving us the Next monthly payment pricing. At $23 a month on Next 24, that would put price near the HTC One M9 and LG G Flex 2. We can expect an off contract price over $700.

Also interesting, AT&T is listing the battery at 3500mAh, instead of the 2550mAh that Samsung listed the battery at. If this  is true, we could have a monster variant of the S6 on our hands, as battery life on the regular S6 is often criticized.

You can catch AT&T’s full press release after the original blog post below.

Smartwatch and Projector Phone Concepts Showcased at Lenovo Tech World

lenovo-new-logo-2015-bgLenovo wrapped up their Tech World conference by talking about the future and showing off some concept products.

As we throw around buzz words like “Internet of Things” the tech industry is actually facing it’s next major hurdle in how we can better integrate data and services into people’s daily lives. Products like smartwatches are another step in that conversation.

smartwatch concept front2Lenovo’s Magic View concept takes the standard smartwatch face we all understand (which looks a lot like the display found on the Moto360), and adds a second virtual screen. That small rectangular patch below the watch face is a virtual privacy display which can project content up to 20 times larger than the watch face.

concept phone with projectionProjection was a hot topic for phones too. Smart Cast is the world’s first laser projector in a mobile phone. Not only will it display the contents of your screen onto a flat surface, but it will also allow you to interact with the UI through the projection.

Lastly, Lenovo announced a partnership with Microsoft to bring exclusive features to Cortana on Lenovo PC’s. REACHit will provide cloud search and sync access to Cortana for popular services like DropBox and Google Drive. Files in the cloud and on various PC’s, Tablets, and Phones will all be accessible to users regardless of where they are or which device they’re using.

As Lenovo continues their lead in the PC space, most of the talk at Tech World focused on a future where services and information are a bit more fluid than the traditional PC experience. Buying Motorola was certainly a step in expanding their influence in the mobile market, and now “Internet of Things” is looking like the next arena they want to play in.
