LG officially debuts G3 flagship smartphone

LG has finally introduced its latest flagship smartphone following months and months of leaks and speculations. Called the G3, it follows in the footsteps of last year’s G2 device and is said to be a product of the company’s “Simple is the New Smart” concept. It features a “Floating Arc” design idea with an ergonomic arch to the device and slim side profile. It is supposedly ergonomic for one-handed use. The rear key has been redesigned for the G3 to have a more premium look and feel to it. LG also revamped its user interface to match the externals of the device with a flatter, more minimalistic look to the device along with circular elements taken from the idea and shape of LG’s logo.

LG's Dutch site leaks complete specs of G3

While you think you've seen all there is to see about the LG G3, the accidentally released official specs of the device is debunking a few of the rumours. The new items shown on the LG's Dutch site include 2GB RAM and 16GB storage instead of 3GB RAM and 32GB storage. And its Qualcomm Snapdragon processor will get "up to" 2.5GHz of processing power, which is a bit slower than the Snapdragon 805 chip. It does, however, still get a 5.5-inch QHD screen (2560x1440) and a 13-megapixel rear camera with laser autofocus.

Samsung patent shows smartwatch with circular display

Patents aren't usually turned into actual products. But if this defies that convention, then we might get a new smartwatch with a circular display. A Samsung patent filed last August shows a circular display with gesture-based navigation and an optical sensor. It isn't a standalone device though, meaning it needs a tablet or smartphone to view notifications. We're guessing the device will run on Samsung's custom Tizen operating system. Again, there is no word if this device will be brought to market. But it would become an alternative to the Moto 360 for those looking for a smartwatch with a circular display.
