Buy a LG V10 this weekend from Verizon, get an LG Tone Pro headset for 50% off

LG-v10-verizon-deal

LG has had a good year so far. First, there was the LG G4. Despite being somewhat of a sleeper hit, LG's 2015 iteration of the G series introduced a lot of great features, while also offering the advantage of being one of the few flagships with removable battery and microSD support. Even more exciting is the newer LG V10, however.

The ultra-rugged device features many of the same specs as the LG G4, but gives us a look at what's next for LG by bringing unique new features like a secondary ticker, and is also the first LG flagship to offer a fingerprint scanner. We fully expect at least some of these features to bleed over to the LG G5, which will likely debut sometime in the first half of 2016. Considering picking up an LG V10 while it's still the latest from LG? Now could be the perfect time to do it, especially if you are a Verizon subscriber or have considered switching to the network.

This weekend only, if you buy the LG V10 from Big Red, you'll also get 50% off on the LG Tone Pro Bluetooth headset, a savings of $34.99. For those that aren't in the know, the V10 retails for $572, or $0 down with 24 monthly payments of $23.83. As a brief refresher, the V10 is powered by a Snapdragon 808 with 4GB RAM and features a large 5.7-inch QHD LCD display. Other specs include 64GB storage, microSD, a 16MP camera with OIS, dual 5MP front cams, and a 3000 mAh removable battery. On the software side you'll find Android 5.1.1 Lollipop.

For more details on what to expect from the LG V10, be sure to check out the full review. Anyone planning on taking advantage of this deal?

New Year's Day Open Discussion: What Should 2016 Bring For Android (Software Or Hardware)?

DSC00978

It's new year's day! (Well, at least in most of the world, I know some of you have already flipped the calendar to the 2nd). And, as you might guess, news is just the littlest bit slow, especially with the first landing on a Friday. Everyone's out and about doing stuff, or whatever. As such, I felt it was a perfect time for a little chat.

2015 brought many new things to Android.

TheBeatles

You'd be forgiven if, at some point during the past few years, you tried to stream a Beatles song on Spotify, only to release that no music by the band was available. Now that has all changed, with the band's catalog coming to Spotify, Tidal, Apple Music, and more.

Coolest of the month: Master & Dynamic MW60

MW60[2]

If you're going to spend $549 on a pair of headphones, they'd better sound good and be built to last. Luckily the Master & Dynamic ME60 meet both of those qualifications, even if they can be a bit of a tight fit for some.

Best bang for the buck: Omaker M4

omaker-mk-sg-3

For a speaker that can fit in your pocket and costs less than a dinner for two at most restaurants, the Omaker M4 is surprisingly capable. The $30 speaker is IP54 rated and gets pretty loud considering the size, plus you don't have to worry about leaving it outside in the rain.
