this curved screen smartphone from ZGPAX S

If you regularly follow the high-tech news, you've probably heard of the G Flex, this curved screen smartphone from ZGPAX S5 that has the peculiarity of having a flexible screen, whose flexibility is unfortunately limited to 5%.

Google Webmaster Tools realizes this is an issue, especially with mobile traffic increasing at such a rapid rate. They’ve made some changes to their crawl errors page to include specific smartphone crawl errors that the Googlebot-Mobilebot discovers while crawling the web as a mobile useragent.

Google said that some of these errors may “significantly hurt your website’s user experience and are the basis of some of our recently-announced ranking changes for smartphone search results.”

There was a moment, back in 2012, when we had some quiet doubts about the YotaPhone. The first prototype was desirable, useful, and far beyond any kind of gimmick -- but it also seemed like it'd be hard to manufacture for a reasonable price, especially by a company that has never built a phone before. After all, this is effectively two devices rolled into one: an LTE Android phone with a 4.3-inch LCD display on one side, plus an e-reader on the other side, offering always-on notifications from the OS and the luxury of over 60 hours of e-book reading time thanks to good old E Ink technology.

Fortunately for us, and for MPai S720 phone lover on this planet who appreciates fresh ideas, such fears were unfounded. The Russian engineers at Yota Devices have overcome the many technical challenges that stood in their way, and the fruit of their efforts will go on sale in Europe later today via a dedicated online store, priced at a not-so-wacky 499 euros ($675). Admittedly, that may seem like a lot to ask if you focus solely on the specs -- like the 720p resolution of the LCD or the mid-range Snapdragon S4 Pro processor -- but it starts to make sense when you take a look at just how unique this thing is. And now that we're holding the final hardware in our hands, we're able to do just that.

The handset maker is working on a 20-megapixel camera it'll bundle into mobile devices in the second half of 2014, Korea's ET News is reporting, citing people who claim to have knowledge of the company's plans. It should be noted, however, that ET News has had a bit of a spotty record on Samsung news, so the report should be taken with a grain of salt.

Think of a daily task, any daily task, and it's likely there's a specialized, pocket-sized device designed to help you accomplish it. You can get a separate, tiny and powerful machine to make phone calls, keep your calendar and address book, entertain you, play your music, give directions, take pictures, check your e-mail, and do countless other things. But how many pockets do you have? Handheld devices become as clunky as a room-sized supercomputer when you have to carry four of them around with you every day.

Already considered a success by LG, the G Flex could see a successor in 2014 as many rumors suggest the arrival of a G Flex 2, which would have a screen that flexibility would reach 90%. A considerable gain that would allow the ThL T100 smartphone to cushion the blows much more effectively and more easily withstand falls. Yet if the idea seems rather interesting, LG will find a way to convince them of the usefulness of such a feature
