Let’s get down to brass tacks here – I used to write a “Top 5 Android smartphones” list every quarter, except, for a little bit there, everything started to feel awfully similar. We got into a very iterative stage of smartphones and, sure, there’s still the argument that we’re still fighting our way through it. But I think there’s enough differentiation out there to qualify a list again...
LG announced Tuesday that it is now officially selling several of the LG G5’s modular “Friends” in the U.S.. Only one of them actually takes advantage of the swappable slot (the CAM Plus), but G5 owners should enjoy a selection of new accessories for their smartphone. The products include the aforementioned CAM Plus, which attaches to the G5 and serves as a special camera grip with a...
We’ve already had a chance to check out the LG G5 and its new UX 5.0 software. However, our early impressions have been with pre-production units without final software. LG is just now starting to discuss the final version of UX 5.0 that will ship on the LG G5. LG highlights the new home screen that removes the app drawer, a move it said was made to “simplify the user experience.”...
LG sent us a review unit of the Watch Urbane 2nd Edition several months ago. The company ultimately said the device was “delayed indefinitely” with no clear plans for a future launch.

AT&T said Monday that it will begin selling the Watch Urbane 2nd Edtion LTE for $...
We have an early G5 here in our office and, while we’ve agreed not to review a pre-production unit, we are still able to bring you new impressions and some answers to your questions. Jon recently asked our readers to submit the queries they had for him, and we’ve filmed a video answering each and every one. I’ll address them here in the post, too...
We’re here in Barcelona for Mobile World Congress where LG just unveiled its latest flagship Android smartphone, the G5. It’s quite a looker, complete with a metal body, and it features some of the latest specs available on the market. We haven’t reviewed it yet, but we’re pretty certain it’s going to win a lot of praise when we do. There’s just so much to like. Alas, we needed to...
On my way to Mobile World Congress this year — and even in the weeks leading up to it — I had a hard time trying to figure out what to get excited about. New phones? Sure, there’s always a bit of a fire inside of me for new hardware and tech. As I’ve already argued, however, it feels like last year’s phones are still really, really solid devices. We’ve reached some sort of plateau where...
