LG continues trying to drum up some buzz for their upcoming G4 smartphone since Samsung will get a 2 month head start with the Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge.

Today, they released a video teasing the new user interface, dubbed UX 4.0. LG claims it will be “human-centered” as in it will have the ability to anticipate the needs of the user.

This video will first show you some of the things they offered in UX 1.0, 2.0, and 3.0, such as Knock Code and Gesture Shot. Then they highlight some of the new features in 4.0 such as Quick Shot, which gives you the ability to capture a photo while the phone is locked by pressing the volume button twice. They have also included an Expert mode within the Camera app.

A new feature called Smart Alert tells you that the weather is not only sunny, but it might be a great day for running or biking. There's something called Smart Board that gathers information from your calendar, music, and health into a single screen. The new Calendar app allows you to add entries from social networks like Facebook.

None of it blows me away. Check out the video below and let me know what you think…..

Robert lives in upstate New York where he was born and raised. Technology was always his passion. His first computer was a Radio Shack TRS80 Color that used a cassette tape to save programs, and his first laptop was a Toshiba T1200FB that sported a CGA greyscale screen and two 720kb floppy drives (no hardrive). From the early 90’s through late 2011, he only owned Motorola phones starting with the MircroTAC all the way through to the Droid X. He broke that streak when he bought the Galaxy Nexus. Now he's sporting a Galaxy Note 4, and absolutely loves it. He has a wonderful wife and a 6 year old son. In his free time he enjoys sports, movies, TV, working out, and trying to keep up with the rapid fast world of technology.
