LG V10 phablet passes through TENAA with high-end specs, secondary display

Posted on by

A yet to be announced LG V10 phablet passed through TENAA, sporting high-end specs and secondary display. The Korean manufacturer’s next top shelf handset is expected to make its official debut at some point next month.

The secondary display of the smartphone is placed right above its main unit. It is a tiny ticker solution – not a full-blown screen.

Rumored specs of LG V10 include Qualcomm Snapdragon 808 SoC, 3GB of RAM, 64GB of expandable memory, and 5.7″ QHD display. A 16MP main camera, 5MP front-facing unit, and fingerprint sensor will also be on board. The component will be integrated into the device’s power/lock key.

At a quick glance, LG V10 looks like a beefed up version of the LG G4. We will find out more about the smartphone when it debuts next month.

Android Pay launching September 16, according to Verizon

Posted on by

Information has been pretty sparse about Android Pay, especially its release date. We’ve been waiting for a while now, and it might come within two weeks. Verizon claims that the service will be launching on the 16th of September.

Other companies have had dates for the launch of Android Pay before, and they’ve been wrong, so you shouldn’t put too much faith in this one. But it would definitely be nice for it to finally launch. Hopefully the adoption rate will be good!

Google Translate update adds systemwide translation to Android Marshmallow

Posted on by

Google Translate is the best translator you can find for free (or maybe in general). On Chrome for computers, you can automatically translate foreign languages without having to go to the website, which is easy and intuitive. Unfortunately, on Android you’re stuck copying and pasting text into the Translate app, which requires quite a few steps. Luckily, Google has solved that problem.

Starting with Android Marshmallow, you’ll be able to use a system-wide translation feature thanks to Google Translate 4.3. The app update takes advantage of the contextual selection feature in Marshmallow so you can select text and instantly translate it. It’s an extremely useful feature.

But until we all get Marshmallow, most of us won’t get to experience this feature. We’ll have to wait for official updates. For those of you already running Android 6.0, give it a shot and let us know how it works!
