How to Shoot in Log Format on the LG V30

LG just launched their latest flagship phone the V30 and it seems to have a pretty big focus on creators with it’s interesting Cine Video mode, great cameras, HiFi audio recording, etc. One of the things I was most interested in checking out was the ability to shoot in a Log format. Log format is a feature in a lot of professional cameras that allows you to shoot with a much flatter image–the colors are more subdued. This allows the camera sensor to focus more on light and increase the dynamic range than having to deal with the color science. […]

LG V30 First Look: The Creator’s Phone?

With last year’s G5 being aimed a bit more at the mid-market and going with the concept of mods the V20 launched about 6 months later became the go to LG phone for the higher-end audience last year. LG might have returned to making the G6 a flagship device earlier this year (and it’s a great phone in it’s own right, check out my review for that if you’re interested), but a lot of the V20 users from last year have been waiting for the V series successor instead. Well, that day has finally come and it could have been

LG Tone Studio: Awesome Surround Sound without All the Speakers

When I was in Barcelona this year at the LG booth, a rep for LG told me he had something he wanted me to see. We walked into a glass room with a racing game playing on a wall-mounted TV and a horseshoe-shaped gadget resting carefully underneath. He told me to put the device around my neck and handed me a controller. I un-paused the game and began to try to drive around in the game. He was right, he needed to show me this. At one point, I looked up at the corner of the room expecting to see a speaker

LG Launches the LG G6: Waterproof, Tiny Bezel, Google Assistant & More

Welp, it might come as less of a surprise thanks to all the leaks that we’ve been seeing, but the LG G6 is finally official. And it’s no joke. My Hands-On Video: First up is the screen. A 5.7″ 2880 x 1440 touchscreen with a unique 18:9 ratio, in other words, it’s a bit taller than it is wide compared to more traditional 16:9 screen. Think of it as that ultrawide monitor people like for their computers. The screen also has a pretty tiny bezel on the sides and no physical buttons (thank god, Android has buttons on screen

LG’s Incredible Floating Speaker at CES (Video)

On Dec 27th, we all caught a glimpse of LG’s super futuristic looking levitating speaker as it made its rounds across the web with the announcement it would be unveiled at CES. Funny thing happened at CES though. No major tech publication covered it. Well almost none. LG’s levitating speaker is impressive looking. This feat is accomplished by some very powerful magnets that suspend the speaker a few inches above the base (and, of course, it slightly spins for added effect). Essentially, the floating part produces all of the high and mid tones while the base produces the lower end

How to Get the Android N on a Nexus (Using Android Beta) (Video)

Google surprised everyone this week and, instead of announcing their new Android verison developer preview at their developer I/O conference (in May), they randomly announced it. Android N as it is being called (Nougat maybe when it’s final?) seems to most a small bump up from Android Marshmallow, 6.1 maybe instead of a full 7.0. With new notification actions and look, new settings menu with more info, and a few other slight overhauls, it’s still shaping to be a nice evolution of the OS.
