Best Buy: LG G4 – An Exceptional Visual Experience in the Palm of your Hand

Best Buy LG G4

The LG G4 has landed at Best Buy and it’s causing quite the excitement.  LG’s latest phone boasts an impressive camera, improved display and expandable memory making the LG G4 a great option if you’re in the market for a new smartphone.  The latest cell phone from LG features a superior camera experience, a cutting-edge 5.5″ display and an elegant and comfortable design and you can check it out now at your local Best Buy.

Camera & Display

The G4’s camera app has a manual mode with 15 settings and over 135 options as well as improved Laser Auto Focus so you’re always ready to capture the moment your daughter nails the pirouette she’s been practicing for months.   11% more light is brought into low-light photographs, thanks to the lens with an aperture of f/1.8, resulting in great photos of the kids playing sports in the evening.  538ppi give the screen incredible detail and sharpness and with such an impressive pixel-dense display you, and your kids, are sure to enjoy multimedia for hours.   Just what you need right?  The 25% brighter display and 50% improvement in contrast (from LG G3) makes for colors that are vibrant and eye-catching which you’ll definitely notice when you take a look at the LG G4 at your local Best Buy.  Capture a photo with the 16MP rear facing camera while you’re at the store and you’ll be captured.. by the LG G4!   Your teen will appreciate the 8MP front facing camera making selfies better than ever and photo enthusiasts (aka parents of newborns) will appreciate the G4s RAW image file capture allowing for the highest possible image quality so photos can be blown up to poster size and framed for the grandparents.  Just kidding.. I would *never* do that.   Wink.  You know those times when you’ve tried to capture a photograph of your dog catching a frisbee or your baby taking his first steps?   The G4s Optical Image Stabilization steadies the shot for a sharp, focused image while the color-spectrum sensor, a feature that adjusts the white balance according to the lighting situation, further makes the LG G4 a captivating phone.

Look & Feel

I like the LG G4’s slightly curved back.  It helps the phone feel secure in my hand.    The G4 has a 5.5″ screen and because the edges are narrower than many phones with the same screen size, the phone feels more compact.  Available back cover styles include black or brown genuine leather and metallic and ceramic style for a premium look and feel.

Android 5.1 Lollipop with LG’s new UX 4 provides familiar usability features to Android users, like Dual Window, Smart Notices, multi-tasking, Knock On/Code, which allows you to unlock the screen by tapping on it, multi-user support, and more.

Storage & Memory

LG’s G4 has 3GB of RAM providing users with quick processing and a plethora of multi-tasking opportunities.. something parents love! 😉  The LGG4 comes with 32GB native storage and a microSD card slot.   You read that right.  Not only do you get 32GB of internal storage, you can expand the storage capability of your G4 with a microSD card.  Imagine not worrying about running out of space for photos and videos at your kids next game or recital.  Speaking of never running out.. the G4 has a replaceable high capacity 3,000mAH battery so you won’t ever run out of battery during a big game again!

Jabra - Sport Pulse Wireless Earbud Headphones

How Jabra Sport Pulse Fitness Wireless Headphones from Best Buy Will Help Keep Your New Year’s Resolution

Gadgets, Health, , ,

 

Best Buy disclosure

If you know me, you know I’m not a big fan of New Year’s resolutions.   It’s probably because of my fear of failure and thus I prefer not to commit to a resolution I am not 100% sure I can achieve and maintain.  While I didn’t officially announce New Year’s resolutions this year, this year is different.   I started my personal and very quiet New Year’s resolutions in December when I followed up with my physician’s request to see Jabra - Sport Pulse Wireless Earbud Headphonesa neurosurgeon and the neurosurgeon’s request for me to see a Yoga Therapist – amongst other professional physical therapy types.   I have been told by my physician and other doctors for a few years that spine surgery is a very real possibility for me and if I want to reduce that possibility I need to move forward, quickly forward, with a few types of therapy including yoga therapy, aqua therapy, dry needling, and trigger point massage.   In addition to these therapies, I need to exercise regularly, even if it is a slow-paced walk or going up and down our steps several times consecutively several times a day.  Sounds like a blast right?  Well… it is when I have my music or my podcast playing through my headphones.   Even though because of my injury I can’t pick up the pace to the beat of a good pop song, upbeat music or a super geeky tech podcast keeps me going for at least 30 minutes a couple times a day.

If you’re like me and you have a fitness or physical therapy goal you’re working to achieve and know the added boost of good music, an audiobook or podcast helps you get through the walk, run, steps, or strenuous workout, visit your local Best Buy store, the place to shop for headphones.  You will find dozens of brands, styles, fits, and price ranges.  One pair that I particularly find very cool are the Jabra Sport Pulse Fitness Headphones.

Best Buy disclosure

I’ve employed what my husband says is a sneaky technique the last couple of years come holiday wish list time.  I don’t ask my kids to provide me with a wish list but instead I pay attention to what my kids have said they want from starting in September.  If they mention something several times, I consider getting the item as a Christmas gift.  Otherwise, I get a circular with stars and circled products throughout from my daughter and a long list of gadgets from my son.   A few things that have stuck in my son’s and husband’s minds and thus made it to my final list of what they really want for Christmas are the XBOX One, a wireless speaker, headphones, and a GPS unit.  You know what store sells all of these products, right?  Best Buy!  If you want to skip the traffic and parking space wars, click over to Best Buy online and get your shopping done without leaving the house!

GoPro HERO at Best Buy

Capture Your Family’s Adventures With A New GoPro Camera Available Now At Best Buy!

Best Buy GoPro cameras

GoPro HERO at Best BuyMy son loves long boarding.  If you’re not familiar with what long boarding is, it’s like skateboarding but on a long board.  There aren’t many tricks involved with long boarding as with skateboarding but the speed a long board achieves is incredible and pretty scary, to me at least, sometimes.   Sebastian even made his own longboard that sports bright green wheels and a snazzy grip tape design.  When my Dad offered to let him use his new GoPro to film himself on his longboard during a visit to his house, his excitement was too much to contain!  He hooked the GoPro to the board and took off like a… pro!

Here’s the first video he shot on my Dad’s GoPro, the one that inspired him to add a GoPro to every wish list he’ll create until he gets one. 🙂

 

With the holidays coming up, a GoPro is on the top of the list for many teens and adults and Best Buy is the place to go to check them out and buy a GoPro.

Best Buy has three new GoPro’s for you to check out; the GoPro HERO4 Black, GoPro HERO4 Silver, and GoPro HERO.

The GoPro HERO4 Black is the most advanced GoPro ever. It features improved image quality and a 2x more powerful processor with 2x faster video frame rates1, HERO4 Black takes award‐winning GoPro performance to a whole new level.

GoPro HERO4 Silver is the first-ever GoPro to feature a built-in touch display. Controlling The camera, playing back footage and adjusting settings is ultra-convenient—just view, tap and swipe the screen. With 1080p60 and 720p120 video, and 12MP photos at a staggering 30 frames per second, HERO4 Silver combines powerful, pro-quality capture with the convenience of a touch display.

The GoPro HERO featuring high‐quality 1080p30 and 720p60 video, and 5MP photos up to 5 fps, HERO captures the same immersive footage that’s made GoPro one of the best-selling cameras in the world.

GoPro at Best Buy

Best Buy is the home of the latest cameras and camcorders, including the full line of new GoPro cameras, plus a broad assortment of accessories. GoPro cameras make perfect holiday gifts for everyone, from kids and teens, to gadget gurus. GoPro’s new line of cameras allow you to beautifully and authentically capture and share the experiences that bring purpose, adventure, and joy to your life.

Can you imagine how cute it would have been to capture a video of your toddler riding his or her first tricycle with a GoPro?  As you can see in the video below of my daughter riding her bike, the faces, emotions and angles the GoPro captures are one-of-a-kind! I crack up every time I watch this video and am so glad to add it to my library of funny videos of Madelyn’s childhood.

 

 

If these fabulous videos of my kids aren’t enough to convince you of how great the GoPro is, check out the GoPro videos featured on Best Buy!

Sebastian has all sorts of plans for his future GoPro including ocean, lake, and river kayaking, roller coasters, more long boarding, lacrosse.. you name it, it’s GoPro-able!  My daughter is thinking more along the lines of strapping the GoPro to her head while she shoots a rainbow loom bracelet tutorial for YouTube. 🙂  I think it would be fun to capture video of her on the bars or mat at gymnastics though.. don’t you?
