We got this release from LG recently, where they partnered up with Parker Walbeck to recreate an iconic scene from “The Secret Life of Walter Mitty” with both a RED cinema camera as well as the V30, to see how good the V30’s camera really is. Check it out after the jump for all the details…its pretty neat stuff! We can’t wait for the official release of the V30 so we can put it through its paces ourselves.
With the release of the new iPhone 8 and 8 Plus devices from Apple, also comes a slightly less heralded event – the release of a new version of the iOS operating system that run the iPhones. iOS 11 is very similar to previous versions of the operating system, but there are some new and important details that could change how you interact with your phone. As this update is coming to almost all of the iPhone models released in the last 4 years (iPhone 6, 6s, 7, and now 8 and their Plus counterparts) chances are good your iPhone is going to get this update. If you are interested in seeing how it will impact your phone, read on!
First rumored a while ago, and now finally made official – Google is agreeing to give HTC $1.1 billion dollars to acquire the talent from HTC behind both last years and the current years Pixel devices. The initial chatter had indicated that Google might just straight up buy all of HTC, but that isn’t the case here. What happened?

First rumored earlier this month, it appears as if the buyout of HTC’s mobile division is on track to be formalized. HTC announced today (Source: the Verge) that they have halted trading of their shares in advance of a major announcement. Most people are projecting that this announcement will be that they are being purchased by Google, to serve as their hardware division going forward.
HTC has been in a position to manufacture phones for Google in the past, both under the Nexus as well as Pixel brands (and it poised to have another device released shortly, the Pixel 2 coming on October 4th) and this merger/buyout makes a lot of sense for both companies. At least, it makes sense to me, as someone who has been looking for Google to have the kind of equipment, facilities, technical expertise, and supply chain to get into the hardware game for a while now. We will follow up when the announcement is made official with the press release.
Since the news was so big, we had to get a video going to give you the rundown and our first impressions. Click on the link to get to our channel, watch it, and make sure you subscribe while you’re there!
Pictured is one of a number of leaks from the good chaps over at Droid-Life dot com, and this is the rumored Pixel 2 XL device, in a black and white colorway. One of the only bummer pieces of the leaked info is the starting prices – the 64GB version is rumored to start at $849, with the 128GB device going to top out at $949. Those are some Samsung prices right there!
