In the wake of the introduction of Samsung Galaxy Round, South Korean company LG offers G Flex Vertically Curved Smartphone with 6-inch 720p display screen. However, unlike Samsung Galaxy Round (which is horizontally curved) it’s curved from top to bottom like Galaxy Nexus. It runs on 2.26 GHz Quad-Core Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 processor operated by Android (Jelly Bean 4.2.2). The phone offers 2GB memory (extendable to 32GB), 13 MP camera, hi-fi audio playback, buttons on the rear side, curved battery having 3,500mAh capacity. What distinguishes it more is its POLED (Plastic-OLED) display instead of glass to make it durable while being high tech in all manners. According to the situation, it’ll adopt the suitable screen, as of red-screen when you missed to attend many calls. What makes it more attractive, over and above, is its tremendous feature of ‘Self-Healing’ of the back cover. Uncovered Smartphones receive daily wear and tear scratches, this phone’s back cover will ‘heal’ itself within some minutes just like the comic character “The Wolverine”. [Via]

As it goes, “Electrical devices are not designed to last forever”, Phoneblocks has come up with a serious defiance. Phoneblocks is a set of detachable blocks that can be built into a working customizable cellular phone like you do with Lego blocks. Dave Hakkens, the mind behind this superb idea, happened to break his favorite camera and was advised to buy the new one instead of repairing the damaged part. Talking to BBC, he said “Half of the world says it’s possible, the other half says it’s not possible. I don’t think anyone really knows because no-one’s really tried it.”
Still not built, the idea has gained a lot of interest as more than 960,000 supporters have vehemently voiced this Thunderclap project so far. The detachable components are connected to a base and the pieces are mutually attached using two screws. Like Lego, Phoneblocks is built with changeable blocks containing different parts like battery, chipset and camera. You can upgrade any broken part or customize it with larger batteries and speakers. It’s really meant to last forever. Support the project at thunderclap now!

Emerging of the new Li-Fi technology is the result of a research conducted by engineers at Fudan University who have discovered that the present-day Wi-Fi data-transferring related problems could be resolved, or made considerably better, by modifying the medium of the waves, from radio waves to light. In this technology the light is essentially used as carrier of data instead of traditional radio frequencies. (more…)
