LG hasn't shared Android 12 update plans for LG Wing, V60 yet

Source: LG

LG might not be making new phones anymore, but it's working on supporting existing devices. In fact, three more handsets are getting Android 12 updates in Korea this Q2 2022. These include the LG V50, V50S, and Q92 5G. But the company doesn't seem to have any plans for the last two major flagship devices it released: the V60 ThinQ and Wing.

The Wing will get an update this second quarter, but only to "enhance your phone's security with Google security updates." That means it's only getting a security patch. While the updates are coming to Korea first, they typically hit other markets in the following weeks or months. So, if you have any of those devices, you can still expect an update from the company.

Google Translate automatically switches Gboard to appropriate language

Google Translate gets a handy feature that automatically switches Gboard to the language you need for text entry. Say the default language for the device is English, but you'll be translating from Spanish. Gboard will auto switch to Spanish but will then return to your default language when done. This helps make typing more accurate and saves users time from having to manually go into Gboard's settings.

Dell unveiled a new stylus a few days ago with a handy trick. The Premier Rechargeable Active Pen comes with Tile's finding technology. So, if you misplace it, you can use Tile's app to make the stylus buzz and flash its LED lights to find where it is nearby. And if it's farther than your immediate vicinity, you can see its last known location and use Tile's network to track it down.

The stylus has three shortcut buttons and 4,096 levels of pressure sensitivity. It comes with up to a 40-day runtime on a single charge and can be recharged to 80 percent via USB-C in around 20 minutes. Dell doesn't mention wireless charging for this stylus, but you can magnetically attach it to compatible Dell 2-in-1 laptops. The Premier Rechargeable Active Pen retails for US$110 (around CA$138 converted).
