So if you’re a Futurama Fan and bored , be sure to check this one out!

So I was checking out a few games lately to play on my phone while on the subway and since I’m a big fan I got Futurama – A Game of Drones. It’s game mechanics are very simple. you have different colored drones and you need to match them up in batches of for or more in order to remove them. Levels have different goals and types. Sometimes you have to match next to some boxes to get them destroyed, remove backpanels, match a specific amount of drones or get an item to the bottom of the screen. As always there are things to try and stop you from doing it, like brain slugs that you can see in the image below.

It has a few features that I have not seen on other games like this. For example you get a few boss fights every now and then , in which you have to match all the colors in order to kick the opponent out of the game. it’s a pretty cool feature in my Opinion. Also you can receive collectable cards that you can trade in for ingame money or lives (of course you could also pay for that) and there is a wheel of fortune that may supply you with money or unlimited lifes for a period of time. And if you get bored of the look of your spaceship, you can get new skins too. I put a few more screenshots below. Enjoy. You can get the game for free on Google Play Store right here .

It’s been a while since we unboxed a new Phone, but today you can say hello to the LG G Flex 2.

Today we will be checking out the new LG G Flex 2, the curved Flagship Device from LG. A few People might ask themselves now, why a curved phone would be good, but this is answered pretty simple. The curved screen provides more safety for the screen itself when falling onto a flat surface and in addition to that in feels a lot better in your hand and on your face that a non-curved device. In terms of safety for the device, the LG G Flex 2 also offers the self-healing back-cover that we have seen in a few LG phones before. Well enough about looks, what really matters is underneath the hood right ? So let’s talk specs here. The LG G Flex 2 comes with a 5.5″ Curved Full HD P-OLED Display. The processor is a Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 Octa-Core CPU with 2.0 Ghz, 2GB of RAM and 32GB internal storage, which can be expanded to up to 2TB with a microSD Card. The device comes with a 13MP OIS Camera on the back, which also features the Laser Auto Focus and can shoot Videos in 4k. On the front the camera gets 2.1MP and full HD videos.

Well enough words don’t you think ? Well here is my short video of the LG G Flex 2. A full review will be up in a few days so stay tuned.

What’s your Opinion about the video and the device itself ? What do you want to see from the LG G Flex 2 in the next few days? Just let me know in the comments below! =)

Well and here is what you’ve been waiting for, samples taken with the Nokia Lumia 735.

The Camera that is in the Lumia 735 might not have the highest specs, but the pictures are definitely worth showing. I’ve taken a few pictures from a moving Vehicle, just standing in a Park and also a couple of Selfies (and one Group Selfie which has been edited in favor of the people shown in it.). But without more words, here is said Gallery.

I hope you enjoyed the Images, just leave your Opinion in the comments below =)

The next step on our quest through the imaging World of Nokia, is the Lumia Selfie App. Let’s check what features it has to offer.

Even though I don’t like selfies ( I even dislike that word), we’re now going to check out the Lumia Selfie app on the Nokia Lumia 735. Before we’re going into the software let’s remember the Hardware that has been built in this device. The front facing camera has a 5MP Sensor with f/2.4 and a wide-angle lens, as well as 1080p Video Resolution. That is why the phone got nicknamed Selfie in the first place. So knowing that we’re now checking the app itself. At first glance everything looks like a regular UI for a front facing camera, the magic happens after you press the button.

The Selfie app has built in picture enhancement options, besides the regular red-eye correction and filters it also has… face correction. The picture above shows me before I started playing around with the digital surgery.

And now we see what happens when you play around with that Device. You can correct your Eyes, chin and even put a smile on your face afterwards. I think this is pretty neat. Of course after you’re done with it you can instantly share it to your preferred social media or just upload it to OneDrive for your personal enjoyment. And if you want to see the facial correction in action, just watch the Video below.

In the first edition of App of the Week , I will show you an App called Mix Radio. It was developed by Nokia and is now an essential part of Windows Phone, but a Beta is already live for Android and iOS.

Today is a first here on our humble little Blog. I present you my first choice as App of the Week: Mix Radio. The app was originally called Nokia Mix Radio and was developed by them as well, now it is still part of the Nokia and Lumia world but the developers and other personnel are a little more independent. I had the chance to speak to some of them at the IFA in Berlin in 2014.

Mix Radio is a music streaming service that allows you to put together your own mixes with artists that you like. You choose three artists and the App does the rest and also checks for similar artists to make your mix longer and more enjoyable. You could also just select one that already exists, they’re split up into genres and times and provide a good way to find new music to enjoy. The variety of genres and artists is almost endless, I have not yet searched for anything that I couldn’t find. If those are no reasons for you to say „well yeah he’s right, this could be real competition to others“, listen to this. Mix Radio is completely free and without any ads, that also includes the option to save up to 4 mixes on your device and use it in offline mode. And below you can see our first App of the Week in action, Nokia’s Mix Radio.

Let’s just take a break from Android, and look at this orange beauty, the Nokia Lumia 735.

Today we’re going to check out what we find when receiving the Nokia Lumia 735, or what we should receive for that matter, but more on that in the Video below. The Lumia 735 is one of the last Devices with the Nokia branding and was first revealed back at IFA in 2014. The device got nicknamed „Selfie“ since that’s what it was made for. In the front it features a 5MP wide-angle lens with Full HD video resolution, which makes a great companion for skype too. The 4.7-inch screen is a little small for my taste and could’ve been bigger given the dimensions of the device, but well it is a mid-range Device after all.

Another notable feature of the Nokia Lumia 735 is the removable back cover and also the removable battery, which reveals a NanoSIM card Slot and a MicroSD card slot. A full detailed review will be up in a few days, until then we’re going in on some of the noteable soft- and hardware aspects of the device. And now enough of the words, here is the promised video.

Google Maps is quite the good service, but sometimes you need offline maps, and this is where Here Maps joins the stage.

Here Maps is a nice sleek navigation software that is developed by Nokia and was formerly known as Nokia Maps. The Software provides you with an excellent amount of Features such as Points of interest, pedestrian Navigation, Satellite images, home address and favourites, night mode and many more. It has an in-built social networking feature to easily check in to different services such as Facebook, Twitter, Foursquare and many more. But the key Feature I like the most is the offline navigation which allows you to easily use your phone as a navigation system while travelling abroad or when the internet connection is not so great. But enough of the words, here is a short review of Here Maps on my G3, the App is also available for all the other Operating systems (except BBOS and Ubuntu, at the time this article has been written).

In the past few weeks I got the chance to try out the LG G Watch R, and here are my thoughts.

At the bottom of this post I will share a video on the Watch with you but first let me type a few words. My last few weeks with this wearable device were pretty great. First things first, the design. The LG G Watch R features a nice round 1.3″ P-OLED Display with stunning colors and has a chronograph like ring around it, on the side you got a little nose to lock and unlock the display as well as powering up or down the Watch. On the back you find the heart-rate monitor as well as the connector for the charging plate. The wristband is made from genuine leather (excuse the mistake in the Video please ;)). The Device is very light and feels great while wearing it.

The technical aspects are that the Device is powered by a 1.2 Ghz Qualcomm Snapdragon CPU and has 4GB of internal storage, the 410 mAh battery stays with you for at least a day and is charged very quickly, even if you just use the USB Port of your Computer. The LG G Watch R runs the latest Android Wear OS allowing it to work with any Android powered Device as long as it has the Android Wear Application installed. The Software allows you to read and answer Texts and Mails directly from your Wrist with the integrated Microphone and the „Ok Google“ Feature. With this Feature you can also start a navigation or get your fitness Apps displayed.

In my Opinion the LG G Watch R is a great companion for people who want a Smartwatch that looks like an actual Watch and with a great Battery.
