My Experiments with LG Mobiles in #India and #SouthAfrica @LGMobileSA #TakeFlight

Hi Friends,

As the internet and youtube are flooded with the LG Mobile division closing down news, let me share my experience with the brand over all these years. My first invite to a smartphone launch event was with LG only for LG G2 way back on 30-Sep-2013 at Kingdom of Dreams in Gurugram, Haryana, India. This was my first invite and I totally loved attending the same. Also, I got to understand the power of a visiting card as the goodies bag was only given to those press or media invitees who have their cards printed. I somehow was ahead of the curve so got them printed as soon as I bought my domain name which in turn was motivated by one of my then friends Murtaza Ali Khan who runs a Movie Review blog and is now a big-time critic in the film industry and comes on TV and Youtube platforms. He along with others told me that it shows the seriousness and enthusiasm you have towards your venture and also some level of professionalism which I took to heart. I also received my first 4GB Sandisk Pendrive which I have kept still with all my important paperwork of South Africa. Also, I got my first Android Desk Speaker which has thing nice light as well as a micro-SD card to play songs from. I fall in love with the back button for easy selfie clicks in LG G2. 

My Experiments with LG Mobiles in India and South Africa @LGMobileSA #TakeFlight
Taken using LG Mobiles V20 Smartphone

When I came to South Africa, I have been chasing the LG Mobiles for the invite to their LG G3 launch event but only got the chance to attend LG G4 at a Morells Boutique Estate in Cresta. I got a small mobile stand as part of the launch event which I had bought earlier long ago from London's Pound Land long back for a pound. Also, I got to attend a session on how to take good smartphone photographs at Vega School in one of their Instagram contests which I attended on a Saturday morning. I got to review and test the LG G4 Beat as well as the LG V20 smartphone too. I really loved LG V20 because of all the feature regarding the audio capturing and a device ready for content creators at that time and it used to come with Bang and Olufsen earphones too.

The last event I attended was the launch of some TVs by LG as well as LG G5 where I got some macaroons as a gift to be part of the launch event. In between,  Anyhow, I got the device to review and won the Mall of Africa launch contests and got an R1000 GV from Kurt Geiger using the photographs clicked using the ultra-wide camera of LG G5. At that time, I was promoting my blog posts using software bought for 2 years where tweets will be shared again and again leading to the LG blocking my Twitter handle in 2016 or so and the same is true till today also.

My Experiments with LG Mobiles in India and South Africa @LGMobileSA #TakeFlight

The last response I got was from the new PR agency to come to one of the Soccer gaming charity match on a Saturday afternoon at their head office in Midrand and nothing after that in terms of any earphones to review or anything else too so it was a total time and money waste from my ROI perspective as I did some free blog posts too as a new initiation with LG Mobiles SA. 

Overall, I have not used the LG smartphone as my day to day device other than the modular LG G5 where you can change the battery - a revolutionary step amongst all smartphone makers and used its wide-angle camera to win myself some cool wool sweaters from Kurt Geiger. I am thankful to LG Mobiles for all the goodies and also I received an LG X Screen smartphone which I gifted to my mother-in-law on her first trip to South Africa. She is still using the same on a daily basis and so far there has been no issue she has faced in the phone, only thing is the screen and the phone has cracked or modified at one end due to putting Super Glue on the smartphone cover which permeated to the actual smartphone by an intelligent teenager at her home. 

Thank You LG Mobiles for bringing to market a lot of great features in smartphones. I will miss you but there is always a chance to rise from the ashes but till that time sleep well and may the focus be with you to create more OLED TVs and Home appliances. If ever you need my channels, do get in touch and I will be happy to promote your products once again but not for free for sure!

A Memoir - This Month Last Year - Jan 2020 www.thelifesway.com #TheLifesWay #2251Post

Hi Friends, 

I have not been able to focus on my blog and I completely forgot about these posts as the complete focus was on getting Youtube content out but that too took a back seat in the first quarter of 2021. Blogging has given me a lot of stuff but also some companies and brands have made the misuse of my kind heart and sometimes I too abused the system. In 2021, I decided to not do the free stuff for any of the brands and PR companies whatsoever but I am not able to write my own posts so far. I keep thinking about them but then I have been busy in interviews for my project at the job and various other job-related tensions. I have thought about closing The Life's Way many times since the lockdown but this is the thing that keeps me glued to who I am and gives me a way to express myself in whatever manner I can via posts or photographs on various social media platforms. 

In January 2020, there is not even a single post as I was enjoying my annual holidays for the first time in India and before that, it was around 3 years since I travelled to India. It was also the Mundan ceremony of my son as well as the second birthday of Reyansh. I got to see the Golden Temple too in Amritsar and also on our way back we saw Dubai and Abu Dhabi too. It was just around that time when we didn't know about the growing impact of Corona and just kept running in front of the same. India and Dubai just started to show signs once we reached back in Johannesburg in the mid of February 2020.

A Memoir - This Month Last Year - Jan 2020 www.thelifesway.com #TheLifesWay #2250Post

Covid-19 took my project allocation away from me and I was on the bench and was sent from my deputed location to the home location. This meant that my salary and other benefits were reduced which was really not so great if you continue to live in a foreign country on your own. 

I am really grateful to the universe for everything that he sends towards me and it's giving me the power every day to carry on one step at a time. Enjoy your time on Planet Earth and do something for Mother nature on a day to day basis. Reduce your carbon footprint and reduce plastic use. 

Cheers!!!

HMD Global, the home of Nokia phones and accessories, is today announcing its biggest launch to date featuring six new smartphones – Nokia X20, Nokia X10, Nokia G20, Nokia G10, Nokia C20 and Nokia C10 – that have been streamlined into three distinct lines.

Top of the range Nokia X-series, intermediate G-series and entry-level C-series all deliver the quality experience that consumers have come to expect from the European mobile company. Products that are built to last inside and out thanks to industry-leading[i] security, superior durability, and the promise to provide the latest software, so you can keep your phone for longer.
A New Portfolio That Consumers Will Love, Trust and Want to Keep @NokiaMobile #LoveTrustKeep
Florian Seiche, CEO, HMD Global: “Today is more momentous than a regular product launch. The past 12 months have no doubt been challenging, yet they also gave us a moment to pause, think and prepare for the next big step in our start-up journey. As a Finnish company, our approach to technology and business is human-first and that is reflected in this new smartphone range. We want people to love their phones. The launch of HMD Mobile – a milestone in our journey to a holistic provider of all things mobile – amplifies this, and it is only the beginning. We want you to trust that we put security at the heart of everything we do – Nokia smartphones come with security and software updates for extra peace of mind. And we want people to keep their phones for longer, thanks to our signature durability.”

Stephen Taylor, CMO, HMD Global: “For our team, innovative thinking is about unlocking high-value experiences to those who may have not had access to them before. Millions of people rely on a Nokia device for their everyday needs, from basic connectivity to payments and creativity. We care about people trusting their phone. That’s why our industry-leading security offering runs across the new X, G and C ranges – everyone deserves to feel safe. We care about people keeping their phone for longer. These products are built to last inside and out, thanks to our upgrade promises and superior durability. And we want people to continue to love their phone. The X-series allows us to offer the benefits of our high-end partnerships with Qualcomm and ZEISS Optics. Finding that perfect balance between specs and affordability is what the G-series is all about. The C-series, meanwhile, thrives on delivering ultra-high value tech to the smartphone market. I’m proud of the niche we’ve carved within this extremely competitive market.”

Renowned ZEISS Optics and innovative AI solutions are at the heart of the impressively versatile imaging options.

Nokia X20 and Nokia X10 also come with a 100% compostable case in the sales box – designed to be tough on the ground but soft on the earth, it reduces waste, helping X-series go the distance.

The Nokia X20 comes with an impressive 32MP front camera and a 64MP quad-camera on the rear. The all-new Dual-Sight feature will activate two cameras simultaneously so you can capture multiple sides or multiple angles of the story. Then, enhance it further with a host of watermarking options.

The melt-in-your-mouth sweet pastry crumbles to reveal a smooth chocolate sponge with a layer of rich chocolate ganache topped with strawberry curd and finished with a creamy crème patisserie.
