Check out our review of the LG G Pro 2 smartphone.

LG hasn’t been shy about revealing a few choice details concerning the G Pro 2, its next major smartphone release, which we’re expecting to launch before the end of the month. Having already confirmed the existence of the phone, LG has now announced it’ll come with a 13-megapixel camera equipped with a new technology called OIS Plus.

OIS stands for Optical Image Stabilization, a camera feature seen in several smartphones from Nokia and Sony, along with the LG G2. The clever lens setup eliminates blur caused by camera shaking, and allows the aperture to stay open a little longer, improving its low-light performance. Exactly how OIS Plus improves the system isn’t stated.

The news comes from an official LG blog post, where several other G Pro 2 camera features are discussed. It’ll be capable of shooting “Ultra HD” video, which at a resolution of 3840 x 2160 pixels, is one several pixel counts which falls into 4K territory. A slow motion mode will be onboard, along with a 20-frame burst mode. The front camera will clock in at 2.1 megapixels, and unusually, it may have a flash. The post is in Korean and the translation isn’t very clear about this, so we could be mistaken.

So, we know the G Pro 2 is coming, and now we know it’ll have a 13-megapixel camera with OIS Plus. A leak also shows the G Pro 2 may have the same rear-mounted controls seen on the G2. It all sounds exciting, but the one feature we’re still not sure about is the G Pro 2’s screen resolution. Will it have another 1080p panel, or will the device come with a 2560 x 1440 pixel count, making it one of the first 1440p resolution smartphones to go on sale? 

The G Pro 2 will probably be one of LG’s top announcements during Mobile World Congress at the end of the month, where it will now almost certainly have to do battle with the Galaxy S5.

Do you want to upgrade your phone more than once a year? What about three times a year? Are you on AT&T? If you answered yes to those questions, then AT&T’s new “Next Up Anytime” early upgrade program is made for you. With this add-on, you’ll be able to upgrade your phone three times a year for just $10 extra every month. It will be available starting July 16.

Currently, AT&T has its “Next Up” add-on, which has been available for the past several years. This program costs $6 extra per month and lets you upgrade by trading in your existing phone after at least half of it is paid off. But the new Next Up Anytime option gives you some more flexibility.

The Nokia 3210 is the worst phone I’ve used in 2024

Where do I even start with the Nokia 3210? Not the original, which was one of the coolest phones to own back in a time when Star Wars: Episode 1 -- The Phantom Menace wasn’t even a thing, but the latest 2024 reissue that has come along to save us all from digital overload, the horror of social media, and the endless distraction that is the modern smartphone.

Except behind this facade of marketing-friendly do-goodery hides a weapon of torture, a device so foul that I’d rather sit through multiple showings of Jar Jar Binks and the gang hopelessly trying to bring back the magic of A New Hope than use it.
The Nokia 3210 really is that bad
