| |  |  | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | LG's big phone return sees us focusing on its rear | | | This week LG reckons it's reinvented the smartphone by sticking a few buttons on the back of its new flagship handset, the LG G2. Yep, that's about the size of the 'paradigm shift' that LG has been bandying about. Rather more worrying is that the device ships with an out-of-date version of Android and looks, well, kind of boring. But phone-ninja Gareth Beavis says there's more to the G2 than meets the eye - the phone is "insanely powerful", the screen is "huge" and the 2.26GHz Snapdragon 800 processor "makes the phone tick along quite nicely" while delivering all day battery life. While the phone world alternately frowned and fawned over the G2, the issue of online bullying reached crisis point in the UK. As news of yet another teenager taking their own life because of sustained anonymous bullying campaigns over social networks and prominent women received myriad threats over Twitter, there were calls by everyone from family members to the PM to ban certain sites. We're not convinced that's the answer - is bullying a technological problem? No, it's a cultural one. |  | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In this week | | | | | | | ■ | Week in Tech: LG's G2 - and how do you solve a problem like cyberbullying? | | | | | | | ■ | Talking points: 4G's boring, Google's playing favourites and Apple's saving lives | | | | | | | ■ | Competition: Win!

FIGHT! FIGHT!" from all corners of the tech sphere. But Ofcom says that 22% of us have no intention of upgrading to the faster data networks, seeming happy to stick with the slower-but-cheaper 3G. Is that because good enough is good enough? asks Gary Marshall. Or do we just prefer having more money to having more speed?

Because it's constantly depriving us and making us wait for its cutting edge Nexus devices, and the new Nexus 7 is no different. Although we finally have a release date for when the new slate will hit our shores (August 28, tablet fans - mark your calendars), it's still left us rankled that we have to wait over a month longer than our American compadres. Maybe Google should concentrate as hard on not being a moron as it does on not being evil.

The trade-in scheme will let you buy a new charger for a reduced-price if you bring in your third-party one in exchange. It all kicks off in the US first but comes to the UK later on this month.

The Google Nexus 10 is clearly a brilliant tablet. It has high-end specs at a mid-range price, and that alone makes it deserving of attention. Add to that a generally stunning screen and near faultless performance and it really does start to look like an iPad beater. | | | | | | | | | |
The Finlux 32F8030-T has to be one of the best value TVs we've ever tested. There are a few clues here and there that's it's built around last year's tech, and it's not always a joy to use, but as a step-up TV for the living room it barely puts a foot wrong. | | | | | | | | | | | | | |  | | | | Would you buy a smartwatch? |  | | | |  | | | @TheGeekyBoss I would, if it was useful.
