A new update to the Google+ app for Android has started rolling out, and should reach all users within a few days. Google+ 7.0.0 is all about giving people the most requested features since the big redesign last year, but also squashing some bugs in the process.

The bottom tab bar now automatically hides when scrolling (but not on the Notifications screen yet). The home stream remembers your position when you come back to it from a different screen, and the search function has gotten autocomplete suggestions as you type. If you have no Communities or Collections on your profile, then the app will prompt you to add one. Additionally, a grand total of precisely 69 bugs have been fixed, and 14 accessibility issues have been addressed.

More updates are promised for the Google+ app for Android in the near future, and you can influence what will go into them by using the Send Feedback menu item.

With cheaper processors becoming faster and more than enough for performing day-to-day tasks, more and more mid-range smartphones are starting to appeal to consumers. Like Samsung, LG seeks to unify all its mid-rangers with a recognizable branding.

While the top of the mid-range offering, the K7 and K10, were revealed at CES last week, LG also has plans to make a K8, K7, K5, and K4. LG’s tagline for its K-Series of smartphones is “Find Your Own Style”.

Perhaps not every K-Series smartphone will be available in one particular market, but there is a variety to choose from that will surely find a market to cater to. LG’s growth has been leveling off lately and this is really LG’s chance to take market share from Samsung in the mid to lower-range markets.

Here is LG’s post from Facebook:

As part of LG’s new affordable mid-range smartphone series, the K10 and K7 stand out both in design and camera features. The glossy pebble design complemented with intricate woven back patterns provide a better grip and unique features including the ‘gesture interval shot’ and ‘tap and shot’ will bring a hassle-free selfie experience to those in use.

*Specifications may vary depending on region

LG looks to be targeting the younger crowd with its mid-rangers particularly mentioning the rear texture design for making a statement, and features that can enhance the selfie experience.

LG’s new K-Series phones are quite nice to look at, if you haven’t already, check out our K10 and K7 hands-on posts.
