this episode of android weekly is brought to you by domain.com you know with google i/o coming up this week it reminds me that i have one of the greatest jobs in the world because i get to talk about technology that's just around the corner and how it may change all of our lives so much so that you think that sometimes I might get sick of it no I don't get too good so let's start off with mother Google and what exactly is google i/o google i/o is a software developer focus conference held annually by google at the moscone center in san francisco california io historically contains a lot of highly technical discussions and sessions focused on Google's technology like Android chrome and Chrome OS there are a ton of sessions and tracks for Android developers and designers google i/o 2015 is a two-day event and there are multiple sessions going on simultaneously with the exception of the keynote which is the only event in its time slot we can also expect to hear a bit about project ara a new intent of things platform codenamed brillo and possibly android pay in addition we've heard rumors about android giving users power to hand select individual app permissions arm recently announced that it will be working with google on a new android java compiler codenamed optimizing compiler it is unknown if it will make it into Android M but we are keen to find out now mother google has been known to do some pretty crazy things at Google i/o like having skydivers dive into the Moscone Center roof crazy so who knows what we can expect this year and we have good news for you LG fans were looking for a mid-tier option LG has unveiled two new smartphones under its g4 name tag the g-force stylus and the g4 see the two are positioned as less expensive mid-range alternatives to the company's latest g4 flagship the g4 is a rebranded G stylo which has already arrived in the US and Korea and will be available on t-mobile later this summer the handset features a 5.7 inch 720 display in a quad-core processor in the LTE model which we will assume is the same Snapdragon 410 processor as before the hence it also comes with one gigabyte of ram 8 gigabytes of internal storage with microSD card support and a room movable 3,000 milliamp hour battery as the name implies the handset also supports a stylus pen for handwriting the g4 c is a smaller version of the g4 but we hesitate to call it a mini the handset features a 5-inch 720p display an unspecified quad core system on a chip and the same 1 gigabyte of ram 8 gigabytes of internal storage and microSD card support as the j4 stylist the hen set also comes equipped with 8 megapixel rear camera and a 5-megapixel front-facing camera LTE data and a 2540 milliamp hour battery the g4 see comes with metallic grey ceramic white and shiny gold color options now according to a new report google has its sights set on the Internet of Things in a big way google has already made moves into this space before with the failed Android home project and more recently with several key acquisitions including nest but now a new report from the information suggests that Google is getting ready to release a new platform that will take things to a whole other level going by the codename brillo the new platform will supposedly debut this week at Google i/o 2015 and is said to embrace the lower power nature of the Internet of Things by working with devices offering as little as 32 or 64 megabytes of RAM reportedly brillo development falls under the android group which means it's likely based on Android though we can't confirm that just yet we do have to wonder however if perhaps this is part of what Android M is all about with brillo being to Android M what Android wear currently is to Android lollipop but to be clear the information does suggest that brillo is not yet a full independent operating system so you guys remember the rumors surrounding HTC's h7 mid-tier tablet well we got some more goodies a week ago rumors began to surface about a new affordable tablet from HTC as the company confirmed that it was quote looking closely at entry level and mid-tier tablets leaks had suggested that the company was working on a 7-inch tablet codenamed h7 and a device bearing the same name has recently been spotted in india's public import and export database the shipment is listed is a sample for research and development but also contains a list of specifications the h 7 tablet supposedly features a 7-inch display 1.2 gb heard quad-core processor one gigabyte of ram 16 gigabytes of internal storage and space for not one but two sim cards the h7 looks to be a budget product unlike HTC's last effort the high-end nexus 9 which launched last year so in an effort to have some fun with our
