NEXUS 6 FOR 24 HOURS

So with the old and in with the new.  Well, sort of new.  Yes, I have given up on the LG G Flex in trade of the Motorola and Google's Nexus 6.  Now, you might be wondering for a guy that was so moved on what the LG G Flex had to offer at the time of owning one, makes you think why I gave up on it so soon or so late. But, the truth of the matter is that the G Flex is starting to age.  Its about a year and a half since it first released back in 2013. Its been that long.  But, I have always wanted to stay up with the curve in hardware and software when it comes to the Android ecosystem. What other way to do that if I can grab me a Nexus device, especially one of the latest and most recent ones. So, I did, I traded my G Flex in and I purchased the Nexus 6.  Now, lets talk about the Nexus 6 for a minute. The Nexus 6 is the by far most pure and premium Android smartphone you can have right now. Yeah, you have the G3, S5, and Note 4 and now G Flex 2.  But the Nexus is pure stock android and out the box with the latest OS Android lollipop 5.0.  I know that the new announced S6 and M9 will also come with the Android 5.0 Lollipop as well. But that is besides the point.  The Nexus 6 is a 6 inch screen with beauty! It has a 2560x1440 resolution, 13MP OIS camera, 2MP front facing, front facing speakers, Snapdragon 805, 3GB of RAM and up to 64GB of internal memory. But if you are worried about memory, you have other options to choose from such as cloud storage.  Now, I know some of you all don't believe in the clouds or put your trust in them. But Microsoft's One Drive gives you 100GB of cloud storage for just using the bing search engine and Google gives you 2GB of Cloud storage for checking your Google account security.  So that put together is 102GB of storage added to your device. No need for an SD card.  Also, there isn't a removable battery either here on this Nexus 6. Starting to see a pattern here (iphone). The Nexus 6 battery is a 3220 Mah and included with the Nexus 6, you will get the Motorola Turbo Charger.  This charger will boost your power in 15 minutes and you will get an extra 6 hours of talk time.   So that is more than enough power and memory.    Nexus 6 is not loaded with any bloatware. What this means is that there are no apps pre-loaded onto the device that you can not uninstall or disable.  Especially apps that are from your carrier or apps that come with the Galaxy, HTC One, LGs, and Sony phones, just to name a few.  This is pure Google and Android.  So you will probably have a little more memory on the Nexus phones than you would with the Galaxies and the Ones.  The Nexus 6 is by far one of the best phones you can buy right now.  If you are wanting to stay ahead of the curve and look stylish at the same time, then the Nexus 6 phone is for you.  If you feel your phone should have the most up to date software, then the Nexus 6 is for you.  If you like Motorola and Google, then the Nexus 6 is for you.  I just mentioned a lot of great things about the Nexus 6 and why you all should have one if you are using Android.  Google and Motorola has done an awesome job with this device. I definitely recommend this phone to everyone and anyone.  My last 24 hours with this device has been amazing.  The display is stunning, watching my Google Paly Movies has been a blast.  Listening to my music with the 2 front facing speakers and watching Youtube videos as well has been a great experience.  Surfing the web, texting, and phone calls have never felt better. I am able to do things and get things done in a timely matter without slow downs or lags. The Material Designs help color coordinate much better. Notifications swype away at ease. So far life is Good with the Nexus 6.  Also after the break you can check out my Nexus 6 Unboxing video on Youtube. You may subscribe now, if you haven't so already.

LG G Flex Year-End Review

LG G Flex 2013/2014 Gen 1

Hello everybody, this year is almost over. How time has flown by. For that being said, we must not forget what the year has brought us. This year we seen some amazing things happen in the tech industry, from larger phones, to smaller and thinner tablets, to drones, to robots, to wearables, to 5K displayed monitors and TVs. 2014 has been a great successful year for technology and 2015 should be even better.  But, before we say goodbye to 2014 and hello to 2015, lets take a look back at one of the most underrated and most innovative  smartphone for 2014. This smartphone is no other than the LG G Flex.

The LG G Flex was really worth breaking the bank for in many ways consumers know. The LG G Flex has some specs that you would say is outdated such as the Snapdragon 801 processor, 2GB of Ram, 32 GB of internal memory (No SD card slot included) and the 720p display.  But it had came with some great features, but to others, they might not be as impressed with theses at all. For some wouldnt understand why these features would be an advantage over the other smartphones on the market.  These features include a self-healing back that can take the minimum scratches from knives, keys, etc.  It will in time heal itself. Like others have called it "The Wolverine" of smartphones.  Another key feature to this phone is the "Flexible" screen. Unlike the bengates we have seen from iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus, this phone was meant to bend back and forward. This phone can actually bend out of place and return to its normal state without cracking the screen. The screen is a POLED display, which means its plastic-based OLED.  Also, another great feature is that it is one of the first smartphones to have a full curved display. Now Samsung did try to do the same with their answer of the Galaxy Round, but it just wasn't as successful as the LG G Flex.  The Galaxy Round was just a pure gimmick. For it not being as successful, it never seen the light in the US. These key features are what makes the G Flex stand out from the crowd. It also similar to the LG G2 in many ways then others. The 6inch screen display gives it the true definition of what a phablet should be. You also can use the phone in landscape mode as well. Watching videos, movies, and gaming on this device, you would see why I love the curved screen so much. It gives a better experience overall for any user. Another great feature that is also found on the Galaxy Note series is the Dual Window features. Not just any dual windows.  You have Slide Aside, and Q slide. These will allow you to multitask even faster and better.  The battery life on this device (depending on how you use it) is once again underrated because of the phone itself.  At times, I am able to even get out about 18 hours on one full charge plus heavy usage. But this varies from user to user and if rather or not you are running a lot of apps in the background of your device.  This phone also has a 13MP camera and 2,1 front facing camera as well. This phone also shoots recording videos in 4K. Just like the Galaxy Note 4 and Note 3, with LG G Flex, you are able to take notes on phone using the memo app and a standard stylus, So, for anyone who thought that you werent able to share or take notes, well LG has allowed you to do that.  So from what you have just read should be more than enough to ask for in a smartphone if you ask me.  But there are still some cons but less than you would have guessed.  So below are the pros and cons of this device.

PROS: The pros are that the curve display gives you a better viewing angle when watching videos and playing games.  The battery life is outstanding, giving you up to at least a full day of usage.  The self-healing coat on the back of the phone self-heals minor scratches.  The dual window features giving you more room for multitasking.  The snapdragon 801 is still a good processor with great performance and speed in the phone.

CONS: The cons may turn you away from this phone if you are use to the NORM of things. For one, this phone does not have a removable battery. If phone gets damaged, you will need to replace it. Another con you might not like is that it lacks a micro SD card slot for expandable memory. But it comes standard with 32GB of internal. For some, that would be all you need. Then if you have a lot of photos, videos, music, and documents, there are applications you can download to store them all on.  Another con that a lot of consumers and  tech reviewers complained about was the 720p display.  Now for this, I really wouldn't say its a con unless you were already using a phone or tablet with 1080p or higher display resolution, then you might see the difference.  But with G Flex, you can enhance the brightness and display mode. If you don't like the Standard Mode of display, switching the display to Vivid Mode will enhance the quality of the picture on screen. You will see the difference from there. Must remind that this may affect your battery life as well. Final con I have seen is that the phone will randomly restart itself at times. This happens often at times. Some have said it has to do with apps or even software issues. But not even LG has come out and said anything about this issue with the G Flex. But pretty sure this may be fixed in the future or next Gen G Flex. (hinting). 

In the end, if you are a person that wants to look cool and stand out from the normal crowd of users with smartphones, then this will be the phone for you.  It is also a good tablet replacement as well. So you wouldn't need to carry too many devices with you at once.  If you dont mind losing out on a SD card slot, then 32GB of internal should be good enough. But if not, like mentioned above, there applications such as Box, OneDrive, GoogleDrive, and Dropbox, that will allow you to store your files and documents. The battery life is what I really love the 2nd most about this phone.  I have seen so many people constantly are charging their phones up within hours. So I do give it 5 stars on battery life. The phone in hand and holding it up to ear is perfectly fit. Not to mentioned that you aree able to use LGs wearable accessories with the phone as well such as Lifeband Touch, the bluetooth Tone pro, and the LG G Watch. You won't disappointed in that at all. This smartphone did change the game and has other phone companies on Edge, literally.
