LG Optimus G2 super fast Possible leaked photos

Optimus G2
So far, the mysterious Twitter account @ evleaks striking often had it right, so we call this a rumor +. Evleaks has tweeted a picture of what could well be the (over logical) name LG Optimus G2. Successor to the LG Optimus S

LG Optimus G2
it is certain that there will be a successor to the current flagship of LG in the Netherlands, the Optimus G. That we know for sure because it more or less officially by LG is made in an earlier interview. Publicized The Twitter account @ evleaks yesterday tweeted a photo of what is probably the Optimus G2 will be, and if we are to believe the rumors, this is also the successor to the Nexus 4 are.

In the picture above we have put the probable picture of the LG Optimus G2 in addition to the Optimus G. The first thing we see is that the bezels (edges of the screen) become even thinner and the LG logo is moved down. From the latter we can conclude that the LG Optimus G2 will use on-screen buttons as it really should. The speaker at the top has been given a slightly different location and the screen goes off backwards. We see that the Optimus G2 more, the round shapes of the Nexus 4 squarer than the form of the LG Optimus G.

The screen size is likely to remain below 5 inches, but when I look at the picture suspect the G2, like the Samsung Galaxy S4, a 5 inch screen will get. Further specifications of the LG Optimus G2 are probably:
• 1.7GHz quad-core Snapdragon 800 (MSM8974) chipset
• Adreno 330 GPU
• Full HD 1920 × 1080 display
Android 4.2.2

LG also recently released the news that they will come. End of this year with a device with a flexible screen With the appearance of this image from @ evleaks and a suspected release of mid-October, it might be possible that the LG Optimus G2 will be what the device is equipped with this flexible screen.

Availability
When we hold a graduation for rumors, where the number represents a 'too good to be true "and the number ten for' this must be true ', then I guess this rumor in a thick 7. LG has announced this phone more or less with the comments that it is a beautiful and innovative device will be.

Release in October could also connect to the release of the Nexus 5 somewhere expected in that period. When you get to the latter adds that the rumored LG also the successor to the Nexus 4 is going to make, it is still a lot of our beautiful waiting.

5 WhatsApp alternatives

5 WhatsApp alternatives
WhatsApp has been a very popular messenger service that allows sending messages. And media from the internet meanwhile, there are millions of users worldwide, but there are some good alternatives. We have put five in a row for you.

XMS
XMS is an application of the Dutch company eBuddy and has already a reasonable group of users. eBuddy is more extensive than WhatsApp and much attention was paid to the appearance thereof. It is also possible to send via PC or Mac, so if you just do not have a smartphone at hand, then also send and receive messages through your browser. Posts

MessageMe
MessageMe is still relatively new, and like the other applications on multiple platforms available. Here again, sufficient attention to the appearance of the application. The app looks good and is made in Android Style. As you would expect, it is also possible smiles, pictures and send with MessageMe videos.

Kik Messenger
According to the makers of Kik there are already more than 50 million users and this is the fastest and simplest messenger application available for smartphones. Kik Messenger does not use numbers, but this username and claims to ensure privacy. Of course it is also possible with Kik to share with friends and acquaintances. Photographs, videos (with backup kicker, thanks Quinten) and other information

Facebook Messenger
Facebook Messenger perhaps speaks for itself and there are now many people who use this messenger service. A Facebook account is (as yet) required to use and messages can be sent via the application, but also via Facebook on PC or Mac. The disadvantage is of course that as the popularity of Facebook will take off, also Facebook Messenger users will get less and less active.

LINE: Free Calls & Messages
LINE has 94 million users across 230 countries so this messenger is not negligible. LINE is also a very extensive messenger client and well endowed when it comes to 'stickers', and 'emoticons'. Perhaps LINE possibly the most extensive client from this list, definitely worth a try. Worth

Daaaag WhatsApp
Many of the above applications are potentially better than WhatsApp, but they lack an essential thing, friends, acquaintances and family who also use it. WhatsApp was one of the first popular mobile messenger apps and although it is certainly not the most comprehensive and best application, there is a great following, also in the Netherlands. A switch is only to consider if all contacts also switch. Will you try other applications than WhatsApp? Whether you stay in the good old WhatsApp, even if there will soon be paid for?

Samsung defends limited storage on Samsung Galaxy S4

Galaxy S4
the Samsung Galaxy S4 is less than a week for sale and there are many messages from users who complain about the limited availability of storage space. Of the 16 GB that is available on the device, only 9 GB available to the user and Samsung has now responded here.

Samsung Galaxy S4
The Samsung Galaxy S4 is the latest of this attractive, high Korean manufacturer from last Saturday in the Netherlands and Belgium. The devices have 16 GB of storage, but more than 7 GB of this is used by the Android system and applications from Samsung itself. This means that there are only 9 GB is free for the user to run applications to install and to maintain. Files or music this is slightly more than half of the total space and therefore many users have complained about this.

Full HD screen
Samsung makes a statement that this is necessary to provide the full HD screen of the device. Optimal mobile experience it also indicates that this is "only" 1 GB more space then takes on the Samsung Galaxy S III. The Samsung Galaxy S4 features a full HD display, which ensures that any images and videos should be. Present in a better quality on the device this would, Samsung is one of the main reasons for the 7 GB storage capacity that is required. Moreover, according to our 6 GB even though a considerable size for the system.

Generally complaints that included software that do not use is not to remove unfounded. If you be able to remove this, because you would not be able to use this space: this system because applications are stored in a different part of the memory. This is separated from the user memory. However, in the case of the Samsung Galaxy S4 has chosen to make that not so very much room is left for the user. System memory as large
For Samsung would be a possible solution to make the system less memory and install only. Important applications in the system memory other apps could then be installed in the user memory and are removable. A disadvantage of this is that when the user would carry out a reset these applications would disappear. These apps would, for example, or can be installed via Samsung Apps Samsung yet but probably will not feel the novice user to tie.

Are you curious about the Samsung Galaxy S4? We have this full HD smartphone examined; we found it can be read in this review.
