-

  • The LG G7 ThinQ features a hardware button dedicated to opening Google Assistant. It cannot be remapped.
  • However, LG might let you remap the Assistant button if you let the company know that you want to do so.
  • Start here in the comments section of this article!

The LG G7 ThinQ is official as of this morning. We now know that the extra hardware button that caused much speculation over the past few months is a dedicated button used to launch Google Assistant.

According to LG, even though there are currently no plans to allow users to remap the Assistant button to some other function, the company might reconsider if LG smartphone enthusiasts make it clear that they want that to happen.

That's your cue everyone: hit up the comments of our articles, send out some tweets, and update your blogs to let LG know that remapping the Assistant button would be a welcome feature for the LG G7 ThinQ.

LG G7 ThinQ hands-on: Amplified

The latest in the G series tries to bring the relationship between LG and Google even closer, while once again upgrading its main feature, the camera experience. The LG G7 ThinQ brings an AI-enabled camera, …

While the Assistant button is a good idea and will certainly make launching Google Assistant faster than using your voice, there are plenty of people out there who don't use virtual assistants enough to warrant an entire button dedicated to that purpose. But if they could remap the button to something else — like putting the device in silent mode, calling a loved one, or even opening up Netflix — that would be quite useful indeed.

OnePlus fans have repeatedly called on the company to allow users to remap the alert slider that appears on devices like the OnePlus 5T and the upcoming OnePlus 6. However, the company has yet to oblige. If LG listened to its users and allowed the Assistant button to be remapped, that would undoubtedly be a boon for the relationship between LG and its smartphone fans.

However, maybe LG's reluctance to allow users to remap the Assistant button is on the money, and LG users wouldn't use a remap feature. There's only one way for LG to know, and that's for you to speak up! Hitting up the comments below is a good place to start.

Beyond eSIM: How iSIM could turn phones into the ultimate Internet ID

-

Most modern smartphones still support the classic SIM card (well, the nano variant at least), but a gradually growing number of phones and other consumer gadgets are starting to support eSIM . We might not be too far away from yet another change in SIM tech, as devices could soon start using iSIM. Earlier this year, Arm unveiled its vision for the iSIM – an integrated SIM that fits into a device's system-on-a-chip. In the future, along with a CPU, GPU, LTE or 5G modem, your next phone SoC could also include the SIM card built inside it too. While there might not appear to be a big difference compared to eSIM, iSIM could end up drastically changing the way we use a wide range of connected devices. eSIM vs iSIM eSIM and iSIM are rather similar in a number of respects. Both replace the transferable nano SIM cards with a hardware chip that's permanently fixed inside a user's phone, tablet, or other gadget. When you consider that nano SIM cards are around 12.3 x 8.8 m

Apple is postponing new iOS features in favor of reliability and performance

Apple has decided to postpone new features in iOS in favor of improving the reliability and performance of the operating system, as according to a report by Axios. According to the report, Craig Federighi, Senior Vice President, Software Engineering, announced the revised plan to employees at a meeting earlier this month. This pushes features like refresh of the homescreen and in-car user interface, improvements to core apps like Mail and camera experience to 2019. What we will get this year is improvements to AR, digital health and parental controls. Apart from that, the OS will largely feature improvements to performance and user experience. We have seen Apple do this with macOS in the past, where they dedicate one entire update cycle to just refining the OS and make existing features work better. However, we have never quite seen Apple do that on iOS. This is largely due to the hyper competitive nature of the mobile market where competition and customer demands push companies t
