Apologies for Phil's audio in the first couple minutes, it gets better a few minutes in. Hang on!
For those of us in the US, the LG G4 is the last big flagship smartphone launch before the fall, so you better believe we're milking it. We talked LG G4 first impressions with Florence Ion, Joshua Vergara and Dom Esposito from a boat last week, and while today's episode of the Pocketnow Weekly podcast may lack the nautical theme, it's got just as much guest-star power. Joining us for episode 147 are Android Central's Phil Nickinson and Mobile Geeks' Nicole Scott to help us dissect LG's curvy leather wonder in an on-air LG G4 review!
Of course that's not all we're bringing to the table: the Galaxy Note 5 is gonna be a thing come September, and the first rumors are floating to the surface right about on schedule. Add to that a bezel-free ZTE phone, BlackBerry's return to T-Mobile and the usual happy-sad Windows Phone speculation, and you've got yourself a helluva podcast. And it could all turn towards the Apple Watch in a heartbeat. Or 74.
Pocketnow Weekly 147 is back from the body shop with a fresh coat of paint covering up a whole lot of Bondo, so let's put the key in the ignition and see if we can't get this motor runnin'. Watch the video broadcast recorded at 12:30pm Eastern on May 8 (click here for your local time), or check out the high-quality audio version here. And don't forget to shoot your questions to podcast [AT] pocketnow [DOT] com for a shot at getting your question read aloud on the air!
