what's happening i'm brian Tong and welcome to google issue it's everything google that we could pack inside of a show each week now everyone's getting into the watch action and the biggest buzz is coming from nine to five Google which reports that Google is putting the final touches on a SmartWatch of their own now details are slim but google now functionality is rumored to be at the core of the watch it would really be perfect to adapt its interface on to a smaller screen with its information for weather sports and businesses nearby and according to their sources Google is focusing on longer battery life with Bluetooth 4.1 activity which supports low power connections and it's the biggest issue facing these smart watches for every company now it's being referred to as the Nexus watch codename gem well not that gem and it's likely rumored to release with Google's Android KitKat announcement according to the article now we're still waiting for a SmartWatch concept that does it right and this already sounds like it's moving in the right direction and we've also seen even more leaked pics of Android 4.4 KitKat and recently a new video is showing off Google's latest mobile OS in action running on you know what the hotly-anticipated Nexus 5 again it's not a major significant overhaul visually but from what we've already heard and seen feature wise it's going to be a nice step up now sticking with Android hardware right now it's the HTC One max it's been officially announced and all the leaks and rumors specs were on the money but its most unique feature is its fingerprint sensor that can unlock the phone like the iPhone it is on the back side but even better you can assign different fingers to open different apps and you can switch on the device with that app loaded that's some pretty slick stuff now it brings a 5.9 full 1080p HD display storage is 16 or 32 gigs with an SD card slot for expandable memory you'll still get dual speakers but no Beats Audio technology after their deal expired and something a little curious for android users a removable back plate without a removable battery HTC says the battery is directly behind the display and the processor and other components are right behind it making it impossible to give users access it's a kind of a tease now curve displays are the new black for android phones in I have nothing wrong with curves we saw the galaxy round that was announced last week curving left to right and it has this interesting role effect to check information when it's laying flat and it will be released in Korea first now LG has already said that bendable an unbreakable smartphone displays are already in production and we talked about the LG G flex last week but engadget has come across a trio of renders of the actual device that will be coming out sometime next month according to sources and it's been confirmed to be a 6 inch screen and they're putting their own twist on the curve from top to bottom now the major benefits of a curved screen on a phone remains to be seen maybe manufacturers are getting bored or doing it because they can but maybe you guys really into it well we want to hear what you have to say curves or no curves so email us at a Google licious at cnet com or you guys could just tweet me at brian Tong will post a couple of your thoughts next week all right some of you have asked for this and there are so many devices out there but it's always fun to throw out a little top 5 list so we're calling it the hot list and there's really no science to it it's just my opinion what's the hottest android phones out on the market right now based on obviously their hotness so here we go at number five it's the Moto X with its customization that still makes this appealing but really honorable mention goes to the motorola droid maxx that's really a better phone but the Moto X just has more buzz right now at number four the LG g2 LG really put out a winner with this one number three the galaxy s4 is arguably the most popular Android phone but it doesn't mean it's the hottest right now number two I may be partial to this but I still love the ACC one design and it takes the spot with its new rainbow colors bringing back some attention to it and a number one it may not be the best seller I'm not buying one but the note 3 feature freak of nature is really the hottest phone on the market right now so you guys can feel free to send me all kinds of horrible emails unless you agree with everything I said here alright that's gonna do for this week's show thanks so much for watching all the Google goodness this week and we'll see you guys next time for another fix of Google ish Oh give licious
