LG G4: video crash test to measure resistance to falls

Unlike Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge that consist of 6013 aluminum, stronger than the one used by the competing smartphones, the LG G4 offers a plastic frame and a rear shell composed of either plastic or vegetable leather. A design that begs a few questions about the strength of the latest flagship Korean. And to answer it, TechRax just posted a first crash test video.

LG G4, a slightly curved screen to better withstand drops.

As usual, the test is carried out in several stages. The phone first drops vertically about a meter and a half high and hit the ground first on the board and then on the front. At this point the screen is still intact and the phone is only chipped to where he hit the ground. The author of the test then drop the phone on the front. The back cover and the battery off and the screen is partially broken but the phone still works.

It will still be quite surprised to see the LG G4 screen break as easily as it has barely scratched the ground. Especially when we know that if LG has decided to equip its latest flagship of a curved screen, it is precisely in order to offer better resistance to falls as a result of its shape, the slab n ‘ is not intended to come into contact with the ground in case of shock. Unfortunately, even without direct contact, the screen does not resist.

Should we deduct from this that the LG G4 will not be strong enough to withstand the vagaries of life every day? Not necessarily because the consequences of an accidental fall are often random. However, it seems to be less solid than we originally thought.

iPhone-7-Apple

Following the presentation of the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus, Apple has entered a new era and somewhat change its strategy by offering smartphones with big screens. Indeed, Apple had always wanted to offer a usable phone with one hand, but due to changes in the needs of consumers and to compete more aggressively, the firm of Cupertino had to resign to offer not one but two iPhone with screens ranging from 4.7 inches to 5.5 inches for the iPhone 6 plus model that fits meanwhile in the category of phablettes.

Thus, Apple will be able to look to new horizons with even more impressive innovations than in the past. The iPhone 7 should also be presented in two versions next year and it is certain that Tim Cook will study closely what competitors intend to do to be able to offer new features to the height of consumer expectations .

The expected characteristics of the iPhone 7

There is hardly any doubt about the name of the future Apple smartphone: the iPhone 7 and the iPhone 7 Plus should indeed be the names of two new mobile and all indications are that they will be packed with innovative features.

While both iPhone presented in 2014 were marked by the expansion of the size of the screen, it is almost certain that Apple will keep these two screen sizes for the next versions of the device. However, the display resolution and the quality of the screen should generally be revised upwards. Thus, the firm of Tim Cook has to work harder for consumers to see real change on iPhone 7. Indeed, the aesthetic change should not be very important since the dimensions are virtually unchanged. One can wonder how Apple will do to bring a new aesthetic punch to future versions of the smartphone and can not wait to see what the designers and graphic designers employees of the firm concoct us.

Otherwise, it is expected that the group’s engineers put the package about photography. Indeed, the iPhone’s camera is perfectible and iPhone 7 could represent a turning point in this area. Many competitors have a much better quality of photo sensor and it is time that Apple is investing in this sector for us has a sensor with much more than the current 8 megapixels. It is the same for the front camera and the video sensor. This is one area where Apple can still make great progress and consumers are increasingly fond of smartphones with cameras of very good quality. Today it is an important factor in the purchase decision of consumers for a smartphone.

Technically, we will discover the new Apple processor called A9 chip coupled with an M9 as is the case in the current model. This processor should once again gain power and speed to provide an even better user experience. Apple has always managed to be effective in this area and it’s not going to change. And user experience side forever, we will also explore the new IOS 9! The iOS 8 was a very good year with many new and hopefully it will be the same for the new iOS 9 with the iPhone 7 so that there is a significant change.

For the rest, it is certain that Apple has many patents on hand just waiting to be integrated into new products. Everything remains to be seen which of these projects will come even if we would like to see happen some more than others. One of the things that comes up often in the news regarding the sealing of the iPhone 7. Indeed, many competitors have already incorporated this feature on their smartphone and many consumers would like Apple to offer on the new iPhone coming out. Samsung has introduced many innovations in its latest phones and Apple would do well to learn some. For example, think about the battery life has always been a problem for Apple. The iPhone 7 could therefore break new records if the Cupertino chose to seriously address the issue in order to offer a smartphone that really takes the load.

A new design for the iPhone 7

Each year, Apple launched a new iPhone, and every year, the design of this iPhone is changing. The iPhone 7 whose output is planned for next year should not depart from the rule. The appearance will be more difficult to change because the screen size should be retained. So Apple will have to find other ways to beautify their smartphone and can go through different materials, organization or a slightly different structure and other elements. You should know that aesthetics is a strategic point for Apple and the company has rarely disappointed that level. Thus, the iPhone 7 will most likely another success in this area and graphic designers will be there to something.

The probable release date of the iPhone 7

The iPhone’s release date is still a big question mark and 2015 should still be full of speculation around this date. Although some analysts still predict that release of the iPhone 7 is possible before the summer, we must not close our eyes. Apple has always released its aircraft in September or October, in a few months before the end of year celebrations. The Cupertino should not change their habits and propose a new iPhone in September 2015. However, it will probably be a simple evolution of the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus.

So there are two possible dates for the release of the iPhone 7. Either Apple decides to propose a simple evolution of current iPhone and therefore an improved model released in autumn 2015 that likely will name iPhone 6S . The iPhone 7 then released in autumn 2016. Either the firm decides to propose next year his new iPhone. Anyway, the wait will be long before we see this new smartphone marketed.

What price will we buy the iPhone 7

Unfortunately, the price of iPhones continue to increase year after year. Once again in 2014, Apple has proposed a new model, the iPhone 6 Plus that broke records by crossing the 1,000 $ for the 128GB model. However, for the classical model of iPhone 6, prices remained the same as the iPhone 5S upon its release.

Consumers can be somewhat reassured because it is likely that Apple has set its limits and should not increase rates for its smartphones. The iPhone 7 should be displayed from  $709 for the 32GB model and go up to $919 for the 128GB model. Anyway, you can take advantage of offers of mobile operators to choose a package Mobile that you will acquire the smartphone at a much lower price through a commitment of 24 months.

LG G4: LG says the Snapdragon 810 causing battery problems!

This is undoubtedly one of the “business” the most significant of the new year. While the Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 was supposed to fit most 2015 flagships, several manufacturers have turned to other processors due to overheating problems.

So far, the marks remained either silent or in a denial, such as HTC. LG, which has unveiled its LG G4, which has chosen the Snapdragon 808, officially spoken on the matter. The Korean said that if he did not make the choice of the Snapdragon 810 is because it was causing battery problems.

    The processor (Snapdragon 808) is, we believe, the best compromise between performance and battery life. The 808 also offers high performance and is more than sufficient for movies, games, multitasking etc. Its big advantage is its low battery consumption compared to 810 – LG –
LG therefore could not be more clear. If it has not chosen to equip its LG Snapdragon processor G4 810 is because it showed poor performance in terms of autonomy. As also highlighted some observers across the Atlantic in their tests, the Snapdragon processor 808 provides more than sufficient performance for all uses. And its biggest advantage is that autonomy is best.

So we can only welcome the choice of LG. HTC persisted with the Snapdragon 810 and had to manage multiple controversies over overheating problems of its HTC One M9. He finally had to make an update that clamp the processor. A test has shown that even the 808 was better than the 810 in intensive use.

In any case, Qualcomm, meanwhile, still refuses to recognize the problems associated with Snapdragon 810, and qualifies even whole controversy surrounding the overheating of Snapdragon 810 “hogwash” . LG seems to have unraveled the fact from fiction

To a lesser extent, Huawei also apply this strategy with its P8 and P8 Max , the price rises to 650 euros.

Natural materials, the smartphone as a luxury object.

How do they justify brands such high prices? Through design and conception “premium” products that use noble manners and take on board the latest technologies.
