LG to allow test of 4,000 new G4 units before launch in customer campaign

We’re drooling with envy here, because LG has just announced that they will be selecting 4,000 lucky users to test out their new flagship smartphone, the LG G4, as part of a customer experience campaign. These consumers will come from 15 different countries and will “test drive” LG’s new baby for a month, with the Korean company hoping to generate hype and also get some feedback before it launches the new device possibly by end of the month.



These users will come from Turkey, Indonesia, Singapore, United States, China, India, Brazil, Canada, United Kingdom, France, Germany, Mexico, Japan and Hong Kong. LG says that the users will be chosen based on entry responses, and that the selection criteria may vary from one market to another. If chosen, the users will get to use a new LG G4 for 30 days and post online on their experiences with the new phone.


The LG G4 is hyping a new UI, and they’re hoping the consumers will pick up on that. Another unique feature is the phone’s rumored curved design, a la the LG G Flex 2. While we have not confirmed if the G4 will take on a slightly curvy aesthetic, LG has made no move to discount that as well.




If you’re in these markets, you might want to check the LG website in the next few days for any announcement that could actually get you a first look at the new LG G4, way before everybody else does. We’ll surely wait for the pics and posts that this campaign generates.

HTC One M9+ pairs a 2K display with a MediaTek chip

HTC has indeed finally revealed the One M9+, the symbol, not the word, and so far all of the leaks and tips have been pretty much spot on, leaving nothing to the imagination. Perhaps except for one rather surprising item. The One M9+ would have almost trumped the One M9 in almost all aspects save one. The processor. Perhaps to keep costs down after plugging in higher end components, HTC has chosen to go with MediaTek here instead of the Qualcomm that runs the One M9 flagship.



At this point, we can't really be sure what prompted the chip switch. Could it be the much talked but not exactly proven overheating issue of the Snapdragon 810? Given that cost considerations are also present, it's hard to say which is the real reason. The fact is, the One M9+ runs on the brand new 64-bit 2.2 GHz octa-core Helio X10 chip from MediaTek. If later benchmarks would show this latter smartphone outperforms the flagship, then MediaTek might have just found a champion.


That might, however, not be technically possible, as the processor will be driving a significantly higher density screen. The display remains at 5.2 inches, a bit larger than the One M9, but also has a much higher 2K resolution of 2560x1440 pixels. Good thing it is helped by 3 GB of RAM, same as the One M9. Also similar is the 32 GB of storage, with a microSD card expansion supporting up to 128 GB only.


Another key difference in the One M9+ is the rear camera, which, as also speculated, has a DuoCamera setup, pairing a 20 megapixel camera with a 2 megapixel one. Sadly, that 20 megapixel camera doesn't really address the f/2.2 disappointment we had with the One M9 itself. The front camera is also the same 4 ultrapixel shooter.


And yes, there is a fingerprint sensor at the home position. Based on the official press materials, which show software buttons on the display, it might be true that this sensor doesn't act as a home button at all.

The HTC One M9+, now official and everything we suspected it would be, remains a strange device in the face of the One M9 flagship. If one can stomach a MediaTek chip, there is very little reason not to prefer this over the original One. Well, perhaps except for availability, as HTC has announced the phablet for China only so far, with no word on whether it will leave the country's borders.
