what's up Brian Tong here and welcome to Google issues for everything inside the world of Google lots of little nuggets for Google News but we always have to start with the heavy hitters and right now you know what it's all about the LGV 30 now we saw the leaks from last week and even LG themselves push out the news on their Korean site that the V 30 camera will have an F 1.6 aperture the largest we've ever seen in a smartphone to date in a recent press release LG also teased out its floating action bar for the V 30 which will basically replace the secondary display functionality that the 10 and 20 had and recently the company Immersion announced its partnering with LG to bring its HD touch sense technology to the V 30 as well think of it as their vibration motor technology similar to Apple's iPhone tactic engine that can vary how it feels with fine control during different use cases on the phone now the V 30 is expected to be officially unveiled on August the 30th and go on sale later in September but come on it's arguably one of the most intriguing Android phones coming out this year okay we know the note 8 announcement is just about a week away but that won't be the only thing we see at the unpacked event venture beats Evan blast revealed details and images for the new Samsung gear fit 2 pro running Tizen the band can be fully submerged in water to track swimming workout 2 as well and will sync up with the speedo on app I'm just glad speedo didn't make the speedo offer now the fit 2 pro will also have GPS and support offline play with Spotify and has a new class that will be more reliable compared to the fit to pricing and details were not mentioned but we're also expecting to see a new gear VR headset that will be backwards compatible at the August 23rd impact event and you know what maybe even more ok let's get to the Google News Google is working on a new floating bubble during calls for the phone app check this out 9 to 5 Google has been able to enable it and once you make a call pressing the home button will reveal a circular phone icon that you can move around and if you tap on it you can either end the call mute your mic or use your loudspeaker no word when this might officially roll out but we could see it with the new pixel 2 in October and if you're tired of the desktop version of Google Calendar with a design from the year 2000 material design update looks like it's coming after a redditor took screenshots of it that looks so much better and actually feels like you're using a product from 2017 the new Google Calendar is being tested with a limited amount of users with no official release date as well but both of those things look really good but then the goog has been dropping the ball when it comes to Android wear and the latest frustration comes after a recent google app update that has now stopped the Google assistant from working properly you know the main thing that you use to interface with Android wear it currently can't really do anything other than simple Google searches right now because of the update previous issues with recurring reminders and Google Account copying has still yet to be fixed and no one can be happy about the feeling that Android wear is being treated like a beta testing ground right now you know what that's how Google bad Google ok the Google app and G board can now understand 30 more languages including two of Africa's most spoken languages and a number of Indian language variants and more the list is all here because I don't want to potentially butcher pronouncing any of them other Google products will also be able to add these new additions in the near future and Google contacts is now available on all devices running Android 5.0 lollipop or later it's the app for managing your contacts in case the name wasn't obvious enough it had previously been limited to the pixel Nexus Android 1 and Google Play edition phones running lollipop or higher and finally YouTube is testing live video watch counts with some users that will let you see how many people are watching a specific video at the same time you are no word if this could be then moved to live chatting about the video we've seen them incorporate that with sharing YouTube videos with your friends from last week's story but it's also a cool addition to the youtubes alright that's it for this week you can email me at Google issues at CENTCOM or tweet me at Brian Tong thanks so much for watching we'll catch y'all next time for some more of that Google issues delicious
