Boycotting certain blogs from attending and receiving their equipment for testing is a common sight in the  world of journalism, many blogs try to keep a positive face when they review certain devices in order to keep their sponsors happy , but the most hardest company to please is probably Apple , who has now gone to a extent of banning a German blog from posting the "Bendgate" issue on Youtube.  The German Website - Computer Bild .de made a test showing a presenter bending a new iPhone 6 Plus against a Galaxy Note 3 , the iPhone was bent at its weakest point mainly because of Aluminum's natural malleable properties and the lack of a sturdy frame , the presenter later went on to bend it back to its original position without doing any significant damage to the phone . A samsung Galaxy Note 3 was also bent in the test , but as other demonstrations showed , the device was almost resistant to the process and didn't show much deformation . The Editor in Chief of Compute...

By now most of us know about the "Bendgate" issue that plagued Apple iPhone 6/6+ users last week , The issue was directly attributed to the metal being thinned out without much consideration to provide a rigid frame to stop the thin Aluminum sheet from bending easily .Rival manufacturers had a field day with the Bendgate issue , but after a while ,Karma might have finally come back to bite some of those companies with Samsung being the first in line after users detected a mysterious panel gap in their Note 4's which is now dubbed "GapGate" by trollers . The Samsung Galaxy Note 4 , which is currently Samsung's new flagship device for this half of the year is theoretically a Galaxy Alpha on steroids , the design - including the metal frame and the design elements are borrowed from the Alpha .The Note 4's  display , which is a massive 5.7" 2K resolution panel with Gorilla Glass 3 is probably one of the Note's signature features apart from ...

For those who thought that the LG G Flex had a somewhat misleading name, or was LG's attempt to cash in on the demand for a flexible screen, we now have video proof that the device is aptly named. A 14 second video shows how the phone does indeed flex when pressure is applied to the phone The key thing here is that enough pressure has to be applied that you wouldn't want to do this to your phone often because of the risk of breaking the screen. The combination of the size (6 inches) and the resolution (720 x 1280) results in a rather low 245ppi pixel density, compared to today's high-end models. But the phone does provide some horsepower with a quad-core 2.3GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 under the hood. 2GB of RAM keeps the multi-taskers happy and there is 32GB of storage on board. Did we mention the 32MP rear snapper, or the 2.1 front-facing one? A hefty 3500mAh cell keeps the display lit and Android 4.2.2 is pre-installed. The LG G Flex has its volume and power buttons o...

The smartphone and electronics world is steadily marching towards new form factors for devices that are bendable and flexible rather than the rigid smartphones and tablets we know today. LG Display announced a big breakthrough that will help usher in flexible electronics with a bendable smartphone display that entered mass production recently. LG is also working on another key component to flexible electronic devices. LG’s chemical division is working on new battery technology that will create non-rectangular and flexible batteries. Most existing batteries for smartphones are hard rectangular devices that can’t be bent. The rectangular size also means that many of these batteries don’t take up all of the available space inside of a smartphone or other device. LG notes that it has been producing a step battery design involving placing two batteries, with one smaller than the other, on top of each other. LG says that this non-traditional battery design allows them to fill the gap lef...
