Outsmart Scammers with Google Phone's New Lookup Tool

Tired of unwanted calls interrupting your day? Worried about answering the phone only to be met with a scam attempt? Well, Google has your back technology! Their latest update to the Google Phone app introduces a nifty feature called "Lookup" designed to help you identify unknown callers and avoid potential scams.

Outsmart Scammers with Google Phone's New Lookup Tool

Here's how Lookup empowers you:

  • Effortless Reverse Search: Gone are the days of manually copying numbers and searching online directories. With a simple tap of the "Lookup" button when you receive an unknown call, Google Phone automatically searches its database and the web for information about the caller.
  • Identify Potential Scams: The lookup results can be a lifesaver. If the number is flagged as a scam by Google or other users, you'll see a clear warning, allowing you to decline the call with confidence.
  • Decide Whether to Call Back: Even if the lookup doesn't identify a scam, it might reveal the caller's business name or location. This empowers you to decide whether the call is relevant and worth returning.

Overall Benefits:

  • Reduced Stress: Lookup provides peace of mind by helping you avoid unwanted calls and potential scams.
  • Increased Productivity: No more wasting time on unnecessary calls. You can focus on what matters most.
  • Smarter Call Management: Lookup empowers you to make informed decisions about who you choose to speak with.

The Lookup feature is currently rolling out in the latest beta version of the Google Phone app. It's expected to be available to all users soon.

By leveraging the power of Google Search and user data, it provides a convenient and effective way to identify and avoid potential scams. So, keep an eye out for the update, and get ready to outsmart those pesky scammers!

Official: Ice Cream Sandwich presentation will be held October 19

Samsung and Google have officially confirmed the date for the presentation of the next version of the operating system Android Ice Cream Sandwich. The event will be held October 19 in Hong Kong, is scheduled to start at 10:00 am local time. On the same day in Hong Kong will host a conference All Things D AsiaD, which should give a speech co-founder Andy Rubin Google (Andy Rubin).
In addition to running Android Ice Cream Sandwich event organizers Samsung and Google will also present the next version of the "Google Phone", which may be called the Nexus Prime and Galaxy Nexus. Confirming the date of the event, Samsung still retained the intrigue and did not indicate the name of the new "Google Phone".
Originally presentation new version of Android was supposed to spend October 11 in San Diego during the exhibition CTIA, but then the company moved the time frame considered appropriate organization of the event at a time when the world is mourning the death of former Apple chief Steve Jobs.

Nexus Prime here as it could be!


Since it now seems a done deal and the Nexus Prime is just waiting for official confirmation from Samsung, we decided to speculate a bit 'on the latest rumors and imagine how it will be the next Google Phone. With the recent presentation of the Galaxy S2 version of LTE, it seems that Samsung has created a sort of alter ego of touch wiz Nexus Prime. For this reason we relied on the version of LTE to create the "concept" you see above.
Name:
Nexus Prime seems now official. A name that was initially attributed to LG line view of Optimus Prime very close to the title, especially for those who love the Transformers. However, as we know from recent revelations, Prime is now associated with Samsung and this name is still shrouded in mystery. Difficult to find a logical connection with the previous line or other device Samsung Nexus. In addition, the new Ice Cream Sandwich recall not in any way and signed before we would have expected maybe a Nexus Ice. We'll see if all the output will be confirmed and we will discover why the name.

Aesthetics:
Hard to imagine an aesthetic line, but we think quite likely that the Nexus Prime can take the form of LTE version of the Galaxy S2 with some minor modifications. We have seen how S2 LTE, despite the 4.5-inch screen, keep unchanged the size of the body . Although many hope that Android 4.0 will not have front buttons, we have preferred to be more conservative in choosing the image and we have included the classic line 4 front buttons Nexus.

There are two hypotheses. By eliminating physical buttons is very likely the choice of the 4.65-inch display, which could further eat from the bottom of the space without altering the aesthetic dimensions by removing the keys. It 'also true that the keys softouch take up less space than the physical Galaxy S2 and perhaps a few millimeters, can still be eaten.

It is still possible that the display can be from 4.5 inches and 4.65; the xml file on the Samsung site, although not certain, gave as magnitude 4.5 inches. Do not just have to wait.

Features:
Here probably the margin of error is quite low. The version of the LTE Galaxy S2 is made for anticipating the new features of Nexus Prime. So without speculating too much:
  • Dual Core Processor 1.5 GHz
  • 1GB of Ram
  • 4.5 or 4.65 inch screen (resolution 1280 × 720 pixels likely even if it is really high)
  • NFC
  • LTE / GSM depending on market
  • 8 Megapixel Full HD with flash (5 megapixels if you want to be very conservative)
  • 2-megapixel front camera
  • 1850 mAh battery
  • 16GB of internal memory
Operating system:
Android 4.0 will certainly be the system that will debut the new Nexus. We're talking about the famous Ice Cream Sandwich that we have recently seen in some images but could be totally different in the final version. A system where there is much expectation that it will be a real point of transition between the current view of Android, and a unique, complete and suitable for all platforms and devices. Lots of new features, API, and the possibility of development. Nothing is certain yet and very few are currently available information. Again we have to wait.
Output:
Nexus Prime might be introduced from next October, although initially we had said in November. We remain, however, as of mid-autumn period of presentation with an American release for Christmas. In Europe, we hope to arrive at similar times although the Nexus line has always had an American debut to date.
Prices of course also conceivable it certainly does not belong to the price range of between 500 and 600 €.
Provided that the end is not an LG!
