How to remove a virus from your phone courtesy: Phonelab.com We all hate viruses.They damage our phone's software and can even damage hardware through the software. And while some viruses can be removed very easily,some take longer processes to eradicate. In this post,we will learn what viruses are,how to prevent them and how to remove them in case of infections. What is a Virus "A phone virus is a type of virus specifically adapted for the cellular environment and designed to spread from one vulnerable phone to another."  So basically,a virus is more or less a program that spreads from one phone to another and is capable of causing harm to the phone(or host)in which it resides.  Viruses are the major cause of phone slowdown,which we talked about in this post .

LG G7 ThinQ Specs

LG G7 ThinQ Specifications Before I begin with this spec sheet,I'd like to give some of my thoughts on the ThinQ. First,I would not be doing a full review until the device is officially available here in Nigeria,which may take sometime. And second,I feel like the G7 ThinQ isn't really a departure from what other phones in the market really are. Sure,it has the latest chip,but other phones also have the latest chip. Also,it has a notch,just like other recent phones. My real complaint with this phone is that LG isn't really trying to stand out from the crowd,despite their recent losses in the smartphone market. LG is supposed to be making smartphones with killer features that actually make you want to wait for their 2018 flagship,rather than go out and buy the latest Galaxy or iPhone. In my opinion,LG should be doing something that no other OEM is doing,in the sense that they should try their best to differentiate their phone from the bunch,both in look and features.

We all love the iPhone X. And we all love the Samsung Galaxy S9 . But what we don't love is their prices. Starting at $1000 and $850 respectively,the newest flagships of the year are beyoud the reach of many,all thanks to their high price tags. Some people want them because they are the best smartphones of 2018. Some want them because they are really,really flashy. Some want them because they have really great cameras. And some may want them because of their extremely beautiful screens. Yes,the bezel-less display was something that xiaomi started with their Mi Mix back in 2017.
