LG G2 with 5.2-inch full-HD display,2.26GHz Snapdragon 800 processorunveiled

LG has announced the launch of its brand-new flagship device, the LG G2. LG G2 comes with a 5.2-inch full-HD (1080x1920) display impressive 423 pixels-per-inch (PPI). It is powered by Qualcomm's quad-core Snapdragon 800 processor capable of speeds up to 2.26GHz. 

The device comes with 2GB RAM and offers 16GB and 32GB storage options. The LG G2 comes with a 13.0-megapixel rear camera with Optical Image Stabilisation and a 2.1-megapixel front shooter. LG's latest flagship runs Android Jelly Bean 4.2.2 and is powered by a 3,000mAh battery. LG G2 sports dimensions 138.5 x 70.9 x 8.9mm and will be available in Black and White colour options. 

The LG G2 will be rolled out in over 130 wireless carriers in the next eight weeks starting in South Korea followed by North America, Europe and other key markets. LG G2 coms with a unique design that features the power buttons and the volume rocker at the back of the phone, below the rear camera, instead of the sides of the phone, as is usually the case. LG believes this will work better on a large phone like the G2. It also comes with bezels as thin as 2.65mm. 

Commenting on the launch of the G2, Dr. Jong-seok Park, President and CEO of the LG Electronics Mobile Communications Company, said, "Our definition of innovation today is technology that truly resonates with consumers. We have always listened to and learned from consumers in pursuit of innovation. We took these insights to new heights in developing LG G2, the most exciting and ambitious mobile phone in our company's history." LG G2 also comes with some software features like Answer Me, Plug & Pop, Text Link, Slide Aside, and a Guest Mode. Answer Me automatically answers the call after lowering the ringtone when the phone is raised to one's ear. 

Plug & Pop recommends options or related features to choose from when the earphone or USB cable is detected. Text Link allows information embedded in text messages to be selected and easily saved in a memo or calendar and searched on a map or the Internet. Slide Aside enables easier multi-tasking by simply "sliding" open apps off to the side using a three-finger swipe. Guest Mode is designed to protects owner's privacy by displaying only pre-selected apps when guests access the phone with a secondary unlock pattern. 

Also included is QuickRemote that can remotely control popular home entertainment devices, and also learn from conventional remotes and be customised to operate multiple devices with flexible layouts and keys.

Nvidia confirms Microsoft is working on Surface successor

In an interview with CNET , Nvidia
chief executive Jen-Hsun Huang
confirmed that the chipmaker is
working with Microsoft on the next
generation Surface.
Microsoft launched the Surface RT to
much fanfare. However, last month it
was forced to write down $900 million
of stock after demand for the tablet
failed to surface.

Despite the failure of the first
Surface RT to make a significant
impact on the market, Nvidia is still
optimistic Microsoft’s tablet does have
a future.
Huang criticised the limitations of
Windows RT, saying that Outlook would
have made his “life complete”.
Earlier this year, Microsoft confirmed
that it would be introducing Outlook
for Windows RT when the update for
Microsoft Windows 8.1 is released.
Pointing to that, Huang said that he
believes Surface RT now has its “killer
app”.
He then confirmed that Nvidia is
working with Microsoft on the second
generation Surface tablet.
“Now we’re going to bring it with the
second-generation Surface,” said
Huang. “We’re working really hard on
it, and we hope that it’s going to be a
big success.”
Previous reports have hinted that
Microsoft is working on a successor to
the its original Surface RT tablet.
Earlier this year, it was reported that
Microsoft is testing Qualcomm’s
Snapdragon 800 processor – the same
that powers the LG G2 .
The software maker is also believed to
be preparing a seven or eight inch
Surface tablet to compete with the
Nexus 7 and iPad mini.
