Leaked press images show LG G3 in its full glory

The latest LG G3 leak officially left nothing to imagination. The yet to be annoucned smartphone appeared in in a number of press images which showcase it in its full glory.

The images fall right in line with previous leaks. They reveal the upcoming handset in three different color schemes – white, gold, and grey. Each of the colors features the previously talked about metal-like finish.

Additionally, an image of the device’s top allows us to catch a glimpse of its IR blaster and secondary microphone for noise cancellation. The setup confirms that the device will have the same controls’ layout as its predecessor, the LG G2.

LG G3 is scheduled to go official later this month, on May 27. The top-end smartphone will feature similar specs to the recently announced, Japan-only LG Isai FL. They include 5.5” QHD display, Snapdragon 801 SoC, and 13MP camera with 4K video capture.

Moto 360 and LG G Watch are first Android Wear OS watches

First up is LG's G Watch. It looks pretty sleek and futuristic, and will work with a "wide range of Android smartphones". It'll have similar voice activation skills to the Moto X – just say "OK Google" and you can ask it questions, or to call someone from your contacts.

The G Watch will go on sale soon. LG says it will launch in Q2, which is between April and June. Though it isn't yet confirmed for the UK.

LG says it worked closely with Google on the development of the device. It'll announce all the specs in the coming months.

Next is Motorola's Moto 360. Like the G Watch, it'll run Android Wear OS, but it has a more classic look, with a round face, and comes with a leather or metal strap. For our money, it's one of the better-looking smartwatches around.

It will show notifications every time you turn your wrist, as it responds to movement, just like the Moto X. Like with the G Watch, just say "OK Google" and you can ask it questions.

The Moto 360 will go on sale "globally" this summer, starting in the US. We'll have to wait to hear about a UK launch.

Google Smartwatch Specs Leak, Show Hardware Comparable To Galaxy Gear 2

Some new details about Google’s upcoming smartwatch, which is said to be made by occasional Nexus hardware partner LG, have emerged from mobile leaker @evleaks, who has a solid track record when it comes to unreleased devices. Shortly after techoblog  reported that Google’s smartwatch development is progressing, @evleaks said that LG was making Google’s device, and that it would debut at the search company’s I/O developers conference this year.

The new specs show a device with a 1.65-inch screen, with a screen resolution of 280 pixels by 280 pixels, which makes for a display density of 240. It also has 512MB of RAM on board, alongside 4GB of storage, which makes it roughly equivalent in many ways to a low-end smartphone. The processor is still a mystery, but based on these stats we can also see that it has a slightly less high-resolution screen that the Samsung Galaxy Gear 2, and the same amount of RAM and internal storage.

Google’s self-branded smartwatch should be arriving soon, given the recent uptick in leaks and a general consensus that we’ll see it this year, so stay tuned to find out what’s up for the tech leader’s take on the emerging wrist-mounted wearable space.

LG Lucid 3 appears in leaked image

Serial leakster @evleaks posted the photo on Twitter confirming that LG is working on bringing a new Lucid handset to Verizon – about right considering it’s been a year since the last one.  

On first glimpse the LG Lucid 3 already looks to be an aesthetic improvement compared to its predecessor despite Verizon stamping its logo on the front and back. 

Sporting a fresher and more updated look with rounded corners and a curved back, it appears the LG has followed the design cues of its G-series lineup such as the LG G Flex and LG G Pro 2.

There’s also a physical home key on the front rather than capacitive buttons like the Lucid 2 - a Samsung-esque trait featured on devices like the Samsung Galaxy S4 and Samsung Galaxy S5.

The LG Lucid 3 also appears to be running Android 4.4 KitKat since it has the white status bar icons at the top. 

The new F-series that was unveiled at Mobile World Congress also looks notably similar to the picture above. 

This time @evleaks didn’t post any other details although expect a mid-range specification to arrive on Verizon’s website in the coming weeks. 

LG G Flex Coming Soon So get Ready

The first thing to point out here is that the G Flex is not the first curved screen smartphone ever made. Cast your mind back to 2011 and you’ll remember the launch of a certain Samsung Galaxy Nexus, that had a curved screen.

It was barely noticeable but it was curved alright and after a few weeks of using it you started to realise that actually, this could catch on. Move five years on and curved screens are now becoming the new ‘3D’, not only are the curves bigger but companies have started using ‘science’ to back up their reasoning as well.

The LG G Flex is the first of this new wave, boasting a huge 6-inch curved display and unlike its counterpart, the Samsung Galaxy Round, the curve is slightly more conventional, giving it a crescent moon-like appearance.

Going up against big-screened beasts like the Samsung Galaxy Note 3, Sony Xperia Z Ultra and the Nokia Lumia 1520 and cheaper Nokia Lumia 1320, the LG G Flex is designed to make it easier to use that enourmous 6-inch screen
