First Video Of LG Nexus 4 Shows Up On Swedish Blog, Shows Off Android 4.2 And Quick Settings

Posted by Eric Ravenscraft in Leaks, LG, News, Nexus 4, Videos

At this point, the LG Nexus 4 is the most-leaked phone since, well, that other phone. Today a video from the carrier 3 in Sweden has popped up on YouTube with a near two minute look at the device, showing us around Android 4.2 a bit. The phone itself looks just like all the pictures we've seen. The video also confirms the Quick Settings menu Ron found. Conveniently, users will access it via a button, not a second pull-down shade.

Update: The video was pulled, but we've added a mirror. Once something's on the internet, it's there for good.

Shit Android Fanatics Say [Video]

Posted by Cameron Summerson in News, Videos

We've all seen the "shit [whoever] says" videos. Now, there's one for Android users. Parts of it are pretty accurate, while others are a little exaggerated (from my experience, anyway).

Either way, it's still pretty damn funny.

P.S. - It's not copying if it's better.

ASUS Posts 4-Minute Padfone 2 Behind-The-Scenes Video, Takes You Even Deeper Into The Turducken

Posted by Cameron Summerson in News, PadFone 2, Videos

ASUS just unveiled the second generation Padfone, which seems to be an improvement over its predecessor in every way imaginable. The phone has a better processor, more RAM, a larger, high-resolution display, and a much better camera. The Tablet Station is somewhat similar to last year's model, but even the way the phone is docked into it is more intuitive than ever. In fact, that's exactly what ASUS was going for with every aspect of the Padfone 2: intuition. They wanted this device to be as intuitive as possible, and designed the unit around that idea.

This video highlights the thought that went into the design - from the materials used to sound quality, and everything in between.

Gameloft Shows Off Behind-The-Scenes Look At Modern Combat 4

Posted by Cameron Summerson in Games, News, Videos

Back at the end of September, Gameloft released a teaser for its upcoming title Modern Combat 4: Zero Hour. Needless to say, we were pretty blown away by the graphical content and fluid gameplay. Now, the company has released another teaser, this time showing us more detailed gameplay, and some behind-the-scenes insight into the title's creation.

They also give away parts of the storyline for the upcoming title, including the fact that both protagonist and antagonist will be playable characters.

It's assumed that this is the first in a series of development videos leading up to the game's launch, so we'll keep our eyes peeled for more entries to show up.

New Feature In Android 4.1.2: Expanding/Collapsing Notifications With One Finger [Video]

Posted by Artem Russakovskii in Jelly Bean 4.1, News, Videos

Buried deep within the changelog of Android 4.1.2 that arrived today is a very welcomed change to the way expandable notifications are handled by the OS. Introduced in Jelly Bean, expanding and collapsing notifications originally required two fingers to operate. Not anymore! A handy gesture now allows easy expansion and collapsing with just one finger, making it easier to perform this task while holding a device in one hand.

Collapsing is a little tricky at first and requires first pulling down and then up. Once you figure it out, it becomes a no-brainer, but is a little confusing if you don't know what you're doing.

[Updated] Samsung Shows Off More Of What The Note II Can Do, Including Its Awesome New Multi-Window Interface [Video]

Posted by Cameron Summerson in Galaxy Note II, News, Videos

Last Updated: October 5th, 2012

Samsung has really been talking up the Note II lately. For good reason, too - it looks pretty amazing. While they have already showed off some of its more notable features, a new video of the Korean version is now available on YouTube highlighting a few features that we haven't seen before, like multi-window. Start around the two-minute mark below to catch it in action.

Pretty amazing, no? It's like they took everything Ron hated about the Note 10.1's "multitasking" feature and fixed it. They split-screen several different apps here - some proprietary, some not. GTalk makes an appearance (including a video-chat no less), as well as S Note, the stock browser, messaging, and a few more.

Wirefly Compares The Samsung Galaxy S III To The Apple iPhone 5 In The Newest Schmackdown

Posted by Cameron Summerson in Galaxy S III, News, Samsung, Videos

We've seen Wirefly Schmackdowns before, but we've never seen one like this. Under normal circumstances, we watch them compare two high-end Android phones. Today, however, they've put mortal enemies in the ring for a fight to the death: the GSIII and the iPhone 5. Oh snap.

They compare the size, weight, display, hardware guts, and software, ultimately calling a winner at the end. Honestly, we're not surprised at how it turns out, but you won't find any spoilers here. Hit play and watch for yourself.

The Bard's Tale Saunters In To An Android Pub Near You, Packs Cary Elwes And Renaissance Humor In Its 3.5GB Package

Posted by Eric Ravenscraft in Games, News, Videos

No, it's not the Bard of Avon, but this smarmy rogue should still be able to keep you plenty entertained. The Bard's Tale is a Diablo-ish RPG starring Cary Elwes (best known for ruining your perception of the Dread Pirate Roberts and Mel Brooks' Robin Hood by doing this). Complete with absurd humor, catchy drinking songs, and adventure galore, this game promises to keep you engaged for up to 3.5GB worth of your time (for Tegra device owners, 1.7GB otherwise). Yes, it's friggin' huge.

We'll be doing a review of this game before too long, so I won't spoil everything.

Hands-On With LG's New Quad-Core Powerhouse, The Optimus G

Posted by Ron Amadeo in LG, Optimus G, Videos

Greetings from New York! LG showed off the Optimus G today, their new monster of a phone. If you haven’t heard, it’s the first phone with a 1.5Ghz quad-core Snapdragon S4 Pro processor. Qualcomm's dual-core chips can hold their own against the quad-core Nvidia Tegra 3, so this should be one of the fastest phones available. It’s also one of the first phones to have a next-gen Adreno 320 GPU, which, again, means it should be really fast.

I got to play around with one for a few minutes, and yes, the real world performance lives up to the specs. Everything is blazingly fast, and animations are buttery-smooth.
