LG B8 OLED 4K TVs With Google Assistant Now Available To Buy

-

LG's new B8 4K Ultra HD OLED smart televisions with Google Assistant are now available to buy in the US. This availability seems to have been started quietly with no official announcement from the company as of yet. Although they are now available to order directly from LG's website, as well as a number of other online retailers including Amazon and Best Buy.

The new B8 line for 2018 was first announced at the very start of the year and just ahead of CES 2018. At present, the line consists of two models which largely only differ in size. The smaller of the two is a 55-inch model which comes with a $2,299.99 price attached. The larger model is a 65-inch model and is priced at $3,299.99. However, it seems in a bid to celebrate the launch of these new TV sets, they are both currently available at a discounted price. As a result the 55-inch model is now available for $2,099.99 and $2,999.99 for the 65-inch model. Which is arguably the main selling point with these TVs as due to them being OLED TVs, these prices (specifically the $2099.99 for the 55-inch model) makes them the most affordable OLED TVs from LG on the market.

Besides the size, the difference between the two models is negligible as both are OLED TV sets and both are powered by the company's alpha (a)7 processor. In fact, this seems to be the way in which LG has managed to keep the prices lower on the B8 line as the company did announce a variety of different TV lines for 2018 back in January. With the exception of the B8 line, all of the 2018 models employ the use of the newer — and therefore, presumed better — a9 SoC. As mentioned, both also feature Google Assistant although they both are also compatible with Amazon Alexa. Further adding to their artificial intelligence (AI)-based disposition, both are LG ThinQ TVs. Providing buyers with a wealth of ways to connect to other smart home-enabled products, and just generally an increased smart experience. This is all in addition to HDR10 and Dolby Vision support, Bluetooth 4.2, 40-watt speakers, and VESA compliance.

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

Google’s December 2018 security patch includes much-needed RAM management fix

-
Image
Every first Monday of the month, we're used to seeing Google launch security patches for its supported devices. This month is no different, as Google has released the December 2018 security patch. The patch not only fixes a bunch of security bugs, but also features the long awaited memory performance fixes. Android Pie has long been killing apps in the background (even if you were using them a second ago) and it's even affected devices other than Pixel /Nexus devices and we hope this fix will help. There are also some camera fixes for Pixel users included as well. Surprisingly, we're seeing the updates hit the Nexus 5X and 6P, both of which have reached their end of life. It's good to see Google support these old devices even when their three years are up and the company has no obligation to update them. December's software release is here. Check your Essential Phone for the update. pic.twitter.com/tTaeQZ0kzl — Essential (@essential) December 3, 2018

Do more from your inbox with Gmail Add-ons

For many of us, email is mission control—the prompt to generate an invoice, prepare a presentation or follow up on a sales opportunity. With so many to-dos, imagine if you could complete these tasks directly from your inbox without interrupting your workflow. We believe email can do more, which is why we're launching Gmail Add-ons, a new way to work with your favorite business apps directly in Gmail. Gmail Add-ons, built for your workflows Rather than toggling between your inbox and other apps, use add-ons to complete actions right from Gmail. With Gmail Add-ons, your inbox can contextually surface your go-to app based on messages you receive to help you get things done faster. And because add-ons work the same across web and Android, you only need to install them once to access them on all of your devices. Click the settings wheel on the top right of your inbox and then "Get add-ons" to get started. We made Gmail Add-ons available in developer p

DJI Mavic Air: could this be the definitive drone?

-

DJI showcased its new Mavic Air drone in New York. The third quadcopter in this series is of similar quality to its predecessors and can also fold its arms for better portability. For its size, no competitor offers so much in terms of photo quality. Release date and price The DJI Mavic Air can be ordered through the official DJI website  and is also available from other retailers. The drone is available in three colors: marengo grey, white and red. We can buy the Mavic Air in a basic pack with remote control, protections, charger, cover, propeller replacement and a battery from US$799 (£769 in the UK). Often, one battery is not enough so there is a more complete pack available with three batteries, charger for four batteries and two propeller replacements from $999 (£949 in the UK). The red model reminds me of a Porsche. / © AndroidPIT Design and build quality In essence, it is th
