Optus are now offering two 3D smartphones on their network and lucky enough for us they’re both running Android, so we thought we’d compare the two devices — the LG Optimus 3D and HTC EVO 3D — in two areas: plan pricing and specifications. We’re laying out the pricing and specs as-is, we’ve recommended what [...]

LG have contacted us to let us know that two of their devices won’t be getting updated to Android 2.3, those being the LG Optimus and LG Optimus Me — both very low-end devices. While that is depressing news for owners of those devices, owners of the Optimus 2X will be happy to know that [...]

Believe it or not there are people out there who don`t always want or need the latest and greatest phone(GASP!), but these same people do require a basic phone with smartphone capability that works & Android has offered handset manufacturers the ability to offer a consistent smartphone OS which covers high and low end phones, [...]

If you were one of the people who purchased the LG Optimus 2X from Harvey Norman, you probably felt pretty ripped off last week when LG announced via Facebook that the phone would not see any Ice Cream Sandwich love. Well that same Facebook page has just announced as you can see above, that they [...]

If you’re one of the very few people who actually purchased the LG Optimus 2X from an online retailer or from Harvey Norman, you’ll be annoyed to know that your device isn’t eligible to be updated to Android 4.0 “Ice Cream Sandwich“. The news comes from LG’s Facebook page where a user asked them about [...]

LG knows there’s a problem with Android applications at the moment: there just isn’t enough 3D applications to be used on 3D-displaying devices — like their own Optimus 3D. They plan on combating this issue by unveiling the world’s first 3D game conversion engine for smartphones. Yep, it even sounds bad-ass. The conversion engine will [...]

In an interesting turn of events, powerhouse LCD manufacturers, LG, Sony and Hitachi are to merge their LCD businesses to form one giant company. The displays in question will be small to mid-size, which covers phones, tablets and handheld gaming devices. What’s awesome about this, is that all three of these companies — whom will [...]

It’s been a busy week, a week of big announcements. First we had Google and Motorola joining hands in holy matrimony and now it’s HP’s decision to dump WebOS after only 16 months after it’s purchase of Palm. From all reports though, they are only dumping the hardware and devices that webOS was being developed [...]

The last time I reviewed an LG device, it really didn’t blow me away, in fact I couldn’t wait to get back to my everyday device. The LG Optimus 3D is a little bit of a different story. It was a breath of fresh air, still the same air mind you, but fresher. To find [...]

Android is getting battered by big companies claiming its infringing on patents left, right and center. We’ve seen this clearly here in Australia with the latest attack by Apple at Samsung, and Google wants it to stop. They don’t want the patent system to cease existence, rather they want it to once again have meaning. [...]

It looks as though Vodafone are taking a bit of a hint from Telstra here by letting users know when their devices may or may not be updated in the near future. Luckily for most users they’ve already been updated to the latest version(s) of Android over the past few weeks, however, there are still [...]

Well here’s something pretty major in regards to the upcoming Ice-Cream Sandwich (or Android 4.0) release later this year; Texas Instruments OMAP 4 is to be CPU of choice behind the release, much like Tegra 2 was the CPU of choice for Honeycomb tablets before the Android 3.2 release. This news came about from a [...]

LG’s rest-of-2011 handset lineup looks to be pretty lackluster, except for one of those devices, the LG K. It is the least known about, and now the most intriguing, with its supposed 4.5-inch IPS LCD Display which will be 1280×720 (720p) resolution; that’s ~326ppi — the same, if not more, than the iPhone 4′s Retina [...]
