Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth with unwashed hands or after being in the public.
Avoid close contact with people who are sick. Maintain a safe distance between yourself and other people if COVID-19 is spreading in your community.
Stay home if you’re sick and take help from local health authorities and medical professionals.
Make sure to cover your mouth and nose with a tissue or use the inside of your elbow when you cough or sneeze. Properly dispose the used tissues in the trash, and immediately clean your hands with soap and water or a hand sanitizer.
Wear a face mask if you are sick or if you are around other people (e.g., sharing a room or vehicle) and before you enter a healthcare provider’s office. Do not wear a face mask unless you are caring for someone who is sick.

LG G3 Cat.6 smartphone is up online, seemingly faster than premium



After Samsung announcing the hiked version of Galaxy S5, the past month, today the other multinational consumer electronics manufacturer from the country, LG has got a new version for their flagship model too, named as the new LG G3 Cat.6. For now without any other additional information, than just the name and the renderings, the new phone seem to be heading out official in South Korea, as LG posts the G3 Cat.6 on the company's countryside webpage, Best Mall, without a documented announcement.

 Well folks, it looks like both the South Korean multinational smartphone makers, LG and Samsung are keeping up the race by announcing first-rate smartphones with faster network speeds of 4G LTE, exclusive to their homeland. As of today, the new smartphone from LG will feature fourth generation LTE's Category6 network connection speeds, that has got the alacrity whizz of data downloads up to 300Mbps. Unlike the original Samsung Galaxy S5 smartphone, LG's front runner handset already ships with elite list of internal specifications, which includes, Samsung Galaxy S5 LTE-A like Quad High Definition screen and three gigabytes of Random Access Memory.

 The current variant of LG's G3 smartphone packs a Quad-Core Qualcomm MSM8975AC Snapdragon 801 processor, which comes with Category4 LTE modem, offering network speeds only up to 150Mbps. So we must presume that, the device you see from the above picture will be having the new Qualcomm Snapdragon 805 SoC, which is the American's one of the latest chipsets to attribute Cat6 speeds of up to 300Mbps (other than Snapdragon 808 and the latest Snapdragon 810 processors), when paired with 4G Integrated LTE-Advanced modem, with support for LTE-Broadcast, and LTE multimode dual-SIM (DSDS and DSDA).

Let us remind you, there hasn't been any sanctioned news from LG, just yet.

Here's the leaked specifications of upcoming LG G Vista



LG's upcoming smartphone that falls in line with the company's 2014 flagship smartphone's industrial design, reportedly named as LG G Vista has been once again showed-off by evleaks from Twitter. This time, the tipster tells us about how the internals of this impending handset will be like, also sharing the model numbers of the handset, which is read as, VS880.

 Unfortunately, the smartphone will not come with that high-end internal specifications as expected it to pack from our previous reports. But indeed the phone will be slightly bigger than the front runner LG G3 handset, as hinted earlier. So, the new purported LG and Stateside Verizon Wireless, branded smartphone is now said to have a Quad-Core Qualcomm MSM8926 Snapdragon 400 processor (with clock speed of 1.2GHz, if we're not wrong), 5.7-inches High Definition screen of 1280 x 720 resolution display, eight gigabytes of internal mass storage and 1.5 gigabytes of Random Access Memory, according to the people behind evleaks. Like the bigger sibling, this phablet is to expected to have LG's new simplified User Interface on top of Android 4.4 KitKat, as seen from the leaked Press render.

 Other than that, the new phone will attribute the traditional LG G styled hardware button configuration on the back, with volume up and down rockers sitting under the primary lens with power button in the middle. The phone seems to sport the kind of laser auto-focus sensor as seen from the company's bellwether smartphone, along with a single LED flash light on either sides of the main camera (possibly an eight megapixels sensor). From the front, there are some noticeable changes, that includes the re positioning of Verizon's branding from side to middle, the earpiece of the phone has been now placed right above the carrier's logo and finally the secondary camera (we doubt a 1.3 MP snapper) along with other sensors have been relocated from left to the right side, when compared the looming LG G Vista with the G3. The new phablet you see here also features Verizon's 4G LTE branding on the back, bringing operator's faster data speeds. Still, we don't hear any news regarding the device's announcement.
