LG's K30 phone comes to T-Mobile in the US

LG refreshed its midrange phones at Mobile World Congress this year. And while we were all distracted with its flashy flagship devices this week, one of those affordable phones — the K30 — became available at T-Mobile. It’s a rebranded K10, which LG announced in February this year. It features a 5.3-inch HD display, 32GB of storage, a 13-megapixel rear-facing camera, a 5-megapixel front-facing camera, and a 2,880mAh battery. T-Mobile doesn’t even list the phone’s RAM (likely 2GB) or processor model, so that’s a great sign. It’s running Android 7.1 Nougat, unlike the K10, which runs Marshmallow, according to XDA-Developers and T-Mobile.

Now, T-Mobile says the phone charges over USB-C on its website, but XDA-Developers says that’s wrong and it actually uses Micro-USB. I want to believe USB-C is accurate, but my heart’s telling me it’s too good to be true. The K30 costs $225, or $9 per month for two years.

The rest of the update K-series phones will likely stay abroad. But with that said, if you’re thinking about higher-end LG devices, the company just introduced its new G7 ThinQ, as well as its V30S ThinQ earlier this year. These phones should be available soon.

Update 5/4, 4:56 PM ET: Updated to account for XDA-Developers’ reporting that indicates that the phone might not ship with USB-C. Also corrected to say that the phone runs Android Nougat, not Marshmallow.

"So I feel cheated, tremendously cheated, in terms of finances and in terms of the workload as well." Hounsou elaborated: "I've gone to studios for meetings and they're like: 'Wow, we felt like you just got off the boat and then went back [post- Amistad , his breakout movie with Steven Spielberg]. We didn't know you were here as a true actor.' "When you hear things like that, you can see that some people's vision of you, or what you repre...

Kenyan Innovators Turn E-waste To Bio-robotic Prosthetic

David Gathu, left, and Moses Kiuna are self-taught Kenyan innovators who have built a bio-robotic prosthetic arm out of electronic scrap AF Two portraits of Albert Einstein hang on the walls of a makeshift laboratory on Nairobi's outskirts, inspiring a pair of self-taught Kenyan innovators who have built a bio-robotic prosthetic arm out of electronic scrap But their latest invention is a significant upgrade, according to the duo. The device uses a headset receiver to pick up brain signals and convert them to an electric current, which is then sent to a transmitter that wirelessly relays commands to the arm, prompting it into action. We saw people living with disabilities go through a lot of struggles and desired to make them... (feel) far more abled," Gathu told AFP. Kiuna said their first prosthetic arm, custom-made for the neighbour, had "helped him operate around the house on his own".
