Getting online isn't always the easiest thing even when you happen to be in some of the largest and most technologically advanced cities in the world, so it's no great surprise that getting a good cellular data connection in Jakarta, Indonesia isn't a walk in the park. Thankfully, that's where Wi-Fi comes in.
Samsung may be currently sitting at the top of the tree when it comes to smartphone sales, but it seems that the competition isn’t ready to let the South Korean company have it all their own way when it comes to hardware innovation. Korea based LG Electronics may not currently be known for being Samsung's main competition in the smartphone game, but they may soon be competing against one another in the curved display stakes. After keeping quiet as a number of leaks flew around the Internet, LG has finally come clean and announced the existence of the LG G Flex handset, which aims to take on the Galaxy Round straight on.
Just when things seemed to have quietened down on the Nexus 5 front, it seems that we have just been treated to not only confirmation that a white version of the handset will be made available, but also an idea about when it will either be announced, or made available. Or perhaps both?

The Google Play Store review page of the newly-released BlackBerry Messenger has been inundated with suspiciously similar looking reviews from a number of "consumers," and although we already knew how much was at stake for BlackBerry with regards to the release of BBM, this move seems a little excessive.
So, having all this fancy technology is no good if it's just so slow that we just don't use it. Friction, or the lack of it, can be something that either makes or breaks a product whether that product be hardware or software. Take Google Now as an example.
LG’s upcoming G Flex smartphone has been making rounds in the news lately a lot, with things going as far as rendered images of what the device’s curved display might look like. After all, the device is rumored to compete directly with Samsung’s Galaxy Round - another device with a curved display. However, this is a first that we’re going to see a hands-on video and high-quality actual leaked snapshots of what might be the LG G Flex, owing to Telefe getting their hands on an actual device for an in-studio hands-on video, as well as TheVerge getting high quality leaked shots courtesy of journalist Federico Ini.
Mobile gaming is on the rise, there’s no denying that, and with the increase in new titles popping up every other hour, it’s safe to say that this industry is not going anywhere any time soon. Things become even more interesting when you add a popular title that’s highly anticipated to the mix, and that’s exactly what we’re seeing with EA’s confirmation that they’re planning to bring their highly-cherished franchise, Battlefield 4, to the world of mobile gaming.
