LG G5 commercial shows off a lot of Jason Statham and LG Friends

The LG G5, the latest flagship device from the Life's Good crew, is now available across several markets, and to officially welcome the new device's arrival, the manufacturer has released its first high-profile advertisement for the phone.

The ad is about a minute long and stars action star Jason Statham (The Expendables, The Transporter). Statham actually plays everyone in the ad, from a long-haired guy on a subway, to a woman sitting in a diner. There's a lot going on in the ad, including Statham wearing a mask of Statham's face while robbing a bank, and even a running of the bulls, but the ad also shows off the LG G5 quite a bit, too.

The phone's not on the screen long enough in any one instance to really get a good feel for it, but it does show off the modular design, switching the battery, or plugging in the camera accessory. It also shows off other LG Friends, including the Hi-Fi Music DAC and the 360 VR Headset, used by a security guard not doing his job.

The ad is a little crazy, but that's advertising, right? You can check it out below. Did you end up buying a G5?

Joke’s on Google after April Fools’ prank backfires

One of Google's April Fools' Day pranks was so unpopular with users that the company was forced to pull it just hours after it rolled out.

Windows 10 Will Soon Allow You To Mirror And Control Android Notifications

Microsoft's Build conference is about all the things happening in the company's wide range of products and services, but that includes Android apps these days. At Build yesterday, Microsoft announced there's a big change coming to one of its apps soon-ish. Microsoft plans to add notification mirroring support to Windows 10, and it's going to be powered on the Android side by Cortana.

Windows 10 already has a notification center, but it's not very useful to be honest.

[Oh Snap!] WhatsApp Finally Overhauls The Built-In Camera Interface

One of the most requested changes in the comment section of each WhatsApp article we post is an updated camera interface (well, beside GIF support). The app has been through lots of Material changes over the past year or so, from a complete UI overhaul to small icon and element modifications, but the built-in camera has always looked the same as it did several years ago. That's finally changed in version 2.16.4 of the app, and no, this isn't an April Fools.
