LG G3 and G Watch expected to launch by end of May

LG's killing it in the HDTV market and while it's LG G2 (AKA the blueprint of the Nexus 5) is considered to be one of the leading flagship smartphones, it looks like the LG G3 is being prepared to mix things up with the likes of the Samsung Galaxy S5 and the HTC One (M8). Rumours are saying we will see a jaw-dropping 2K display which exceeds the current model's 1080p HD display, and we're also hearing that the G Watch, based on the Android Wear platform recently introduced by Google to developers. The third time might be the charm for LG with a killer phone and watch combo coming to market shortly.
