LG G3 release date tipped for May 17

The LG G3 release date has been tipped for May 17, but we doubt this will be anywhere near the real launch.


We don’t doubt that LG is already working on the LG G2 successor, but the idea it may launch as early as May 17 is a little farfetched.

The alleged release date comes from reports in the Korean media, scheduling a LG G3 launch just nine months after the September LG G2 release date, which seems rather unlikely.

Something else that puts the kibosh on a May 17 release date for the LG G3 is the fact the date falls on a Saturday, a very unusual day for a company to launch a flagship device.

However, the rumoured LG G3 specs may be a little closer to the truth, and suggest the handset will be a direct rival for the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S5.

Leaked specs tip the LG G3 to come with a 5.5-inch 2,560 x 1,440p 2K resolution display and run on LG’s own Odin processor rather than the Qualcomm alternatives.

It could also feature a 16-megapixel rear camera with optical image stabilisation. We expect LG may even retain the LG G2’s trademark rear buttons for the LG G3 when it eventually launches later this year.

The Korean media sources also suggested LG could launch the LG G Pro 2 phablet at MWC 2014, complete with a 5.9-inch QHD resolution display.

As usual, we advise you take the above information with a rather large dollop of salt as it would be very unusual for LG to deviate from its annual launch cycle, unless it intends to compete more directly with HTC and Samsung.

LG confirms a trio of new L Series handsets ahead of MWC 2014

LG has showcased yet more of its MWC 2014-bound handsets with a trio of third-generation LG L-Series devices formally unveiled.


LG’s lower and mid-range handset line, the new LG L-Series smartphones will sit beneath the existing LG G2 flagship and the LG G Pro 2 phablet and compact LG G2 Mini that have already been confirmed for MWC 2014 unveilings.

Issuing an image of the new LG L Series III Android line, the Korean manufacturer has revealed that the trio of new devices will be known as the LG L40, LG L70 and the LG L90. All three phones will come pre-installed with Google’s latest Android 4.4 KitKat OS.

With the LG L90 lining up as the highest spec of the new trio, the upcoming handset will see a 4.7-inch display run a slightly disappointing 960 x 540 pixel resolution.

With a 1.2GHz quad-core processor running the show, the LG L90’s specs sheet is rounded off by 1GB of RAM, 8GB of internal storage and an 8-megapixel rear-mounted camera. A 2540mAh Lithium-polymer battery keeps the handset running.

Dropping in screen size and specs, the LG L70 is set to be a 4.5-inch, 800 x 400p smartphone offering, with a 1.2GHz dual-core CPU. Running 1GB of RAM and 4GB of internal storage, the phone will boast its own 5-megapixel camera alongside a 2100mAh battery.

At the lower end of the spectrum, the LG L40 is set to be a true entry-level offering, with a 3.5-inch display running a 480 x 320 pixel resolution. Running a 1.2GHz dual-core CPU, the L40 adds 512MB of RAM and 4GB of internal storage to the mix alongside a 3-megapixel camera and a 1700mAh battery.

We will be on hand at MWC 2014 later this month to bring you all the latest on the full range of new LG handset.

LG unveils thinnest Full HD panel ahead of Optimus G2 event

LG has unveiled the world’s slimmest Full HD LCD panel for smartphones, conveniently launched just ahead of its Optimus G2 event next month.


Measuring just 2.2mm thick with a 2.3mm bezel, the 5.2-inch Full 1080 x 1920p HD panel is world’s slimmest and should allow smartphones to be considerably thinner.

Not only thinner, the panel is also lighter than other screen and will provide a larger surface area upon which to view content on smartphones.

“Today’s introduction of the world’s slimmest Full HD LCD panel represents an exciting advancement for the high-end smartphone segment, and is possible due to our world-class expertise in IPS and touch technologies”, said Dr. Byeong-Koo Kim, the VP and Head of LG Display’s IT and Mobile Development Group. “LG Display will continue its commitment to developing products that maximise consumer value as well as opening new doors for the mobile and tablet PC industry.”

The super-slim panel includes the latest touch technology from LG Display, named Advanced One-Glass-Solution (OGS). By inserting Dual Flexible Printed Circuits between the panel and the “touch film” increases the responsiveness of the screen.


LG Optimus G2 Rumours


LG has conveniently launched this super-slim panel technology just ahead of its August 7 launch for the LG Optimus G2.

The clearest LG Optimus G2 images emerged earlier this week, supporting the original reports that the smartphone was too thin for buttons. In fact, the smartphone’s volume rocker is supposedly located on the rear of the device below the 13-megapixel rear camera.

The South Korean electronics manufacturer could include this latest panel technology in its upcoming flagship, due to replace the LG Optimus G.

Lastest rumours have suggested that the smartphone will pack a 5.2-inch display, which could be this super-slim panel.

Other tipped specs include a 2.3GHz quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 CPU with 2GB of RAM powered by a 2700mAh battery.

LG Optimus G2 to crash through the full HD 5 inch smartphone barrier

The forthcoming launch of the LG Optimus G2 may be a little more newsworthy than previously expected judging by recent rumours and speculation.


Last week we heard the device may feature volume buttons on the back and today reports claimed the new Optimus will be the first smartphone from the company to boast a full HD screen larger than 5-inches.

Up until now, speculation had suggested the device would be rocking a 5-inch 1080p screen, but TechBlog brings word that the Korean company plans to stretch it out another two-tenths of an inch.

That would officially make it the largest 1080p smartphone phone from a major manufacturer, something that LG would be wise to trumped when the device eventually launches.

Say cheese


Other new information from the TechBlog report claims the device will also have a 13-megapixel camera, bringing it in line with most of the other top-line handsets on the market.

Previous leaks have shown an edge-to-edge display, while its highly likely the device will arrive packing Android 4.2 Jelly Bean.

LG has already said the device will pack the Qualcomm 800 series processor, while the company is also thought to be working on a phone with always-on voice commands.

In terms of a release date? Well we should hear more about LGs August 7 press event in New York where the Optimus G2 is likely to be unveiled.

LG tipped to equip all 2014 flagships with fingerprint scanners

LG could equip all its 2014 flagships with fingerprint scanners, if the latest information is accurate.

According to a new rumour, LG will not only fit the LG G3 with a fingerprint scanner, but other high-end devices too. LG tipped to equip all 2014 flagships with fingerprint scanners


LG could equip all its 2014 flagships with fingerprint scanners, if the latest information is accurate.

According to a new rumour, LG will not only fit the LG G3 with a fingerprint scanner, but other high-end devices too.

A report from the Korean site, ETNews has suggested the LG G3 and the LG G Pro 2 will feature fingerprint scanners similar to that of the iPhone 5S.

Other devices like the HTC One Max have implemented fingerprint scanners, but they haven’t been quite as successful, accurate or well-placed as Apple’s Touch ID sensor embedded in the iPhone 5S home button.

We wonder whether LG will choose to embed the fingerprint sensor within the rear buttons introduced with the LG G2.

“Rather than to simply apply fingerprint recognition functionality, it is important to improve security and user convenience at the same time,” said the LG Electronics insider. “We will give prominence to our functional differentiations in order not to suffer the disgrace of being called a mimicker to follow what the competitors do.”

The insider suggests LG will apply fingerprint sensors to “four – five premium models including the two this year”.

LG will have to compete with the fingerprint sensor technology potentially included with the Samsung Galaxy S5 as well as whatever Apple pulls out of the bag with the iPhone 6.

The latest rumour is that the Galaxy S5 will feature a fingerprint sensor under the screen.

“To improve its presence in the premium smartphone market, LG Electronics needs to apply innovative functions, such as optical image stabilising (OIS), fingerprint recognition, to its smartphones ahead of its competitors,” said a stock market analyst. “Attention is drawn to how LG Electronics will use fingerprint recognition functionality, which has become rather stale, in differentiating its products.”

LG Optimus G2 rumoured to have 5 2 inch display and optical image stabilisation

More LG Optimus G2 specification rumours have emerged, including the suggestion that the super-slim smartphone will come with a larger-than-expect display and some advanced camera tech.


Greek website Techblog carries the reports the that LG Optimus G2 will exceed the 5-inch display size most had expected. According to slightly questionable "unconfirmed information," the forthcoming smartphone will come with a 5.2-inch 1080p LCD IPS screen.

Its suggested that the phones extremely small bezel means that a slight increase in screen size is possible without making the phones body any bigger.

Another interesting new spec rumour from the same source is that the LG Optimus G2s 13-megapixel camera will feature optical image stabilisation (OIS). This is a feature thats only just starting to make its way into phones, allowing for steadier shots and videos and opening up the potential for markedly superior low light shots.

Its thanks to OIS that the Nokia Lumia 920 and the HTC One are such strong performers in low light conditions.

Otherwise, we know from a leaked promotional video and earlier rumours that the LG G2 will feature an unusual rear-mounted volume control setup. This is apparently in reaction to the fact that the phone will be extremely thin.

We also know for a fact that the LG Optimus G2 will be powered by a quad-core Snapdragon 800 CPU. LG and Qualcomm issued a joint statement revealing as much last month.

LG G Pro 2 specs leaked in AnTuTu benchmark

The LG G Pro 2 specs have leaked online in AnTuTu benchmarks, suggesting it will match the LG G2.


Ahead of an anticipated MWC 2014 arrival, the LG G Pro 2 specs have been leaked online and reveal a high-end hardware array.

In January, the first images of the LG G Pro 2 emerged online, revealing a design very similar to the LG G2. That image, coupled with the leaked benchmarks, reveal that the G Pro 2 has taken cues from the LG G2 on design and hardware.

According to the AnTuTu benchmarks, the LG G Pros 2 will have a full HD 1080p x 1920p display, which is reportedly around the 6-inch mark.

The benchmarks also suggest a 2.26GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 processor, Adreno 330 graphics and 3GB of RAM, which is exactly the same as the LG G2.

The LG G Pro 2 will seemingly have 32GB of internal storage as standard and run Android 4.4 KitKat.

This is a slight upgrade from the LG G2, which offers internal storage options from 16GB and runs Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean out of the box.

We expect the LG G Pro 2 is the smartphone the South Korean electronics giant is using to keep the flagship spot refreshed until the launch of the LG G3 later this year.

It sounds like the G Pro 2 is pretty much the larger screen, “phablet” version of the existing LG G2.

Although an MWC 2014 launch for the LG G Pro 2 has been heavily rumoured, the device may well launch earlier than that. LG recently sent out press invites for a Korean event that will take place on February 13.

LG could be attempting to beat the MWC rush, as Samsung is hotly tipped to launch the Samsung Galaxy S5 during its Samsung Unpacked 5 event on Monday, February 24.

LG G Pro 2 officially confirmed for February

LG has officially revealed that the LG G Pro 2 will be released next month.

The Korean company confirmed recent rumours when it announced that its new phablet device would launch next month. This presumably means that we’ll see the device at MWC 2014 towards the end of February.


LG didn’t have anything more to say about the LG G Pro 2, but its specs and dimensions have been heavily rumoured in recent months.

We’re expecting it to feature a 6-inch (up from the 5.5.-inch original Optimus G Pro) 1080p display, a Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 quad-core CPU, 3GB of RAM, and -perhaps most excitingly of all - an iPhone 5S-like fingerprint scanner. It should run on Android 4.4 KitKat.

This news will disappoint some, as it appears to confirm by extension that we won’t see the LG G3 at the same Barcelona show come February 24.

LG’s next flagship smartphone is expected to sport a 2,560 x 1,440 2K display as its headline feature. It could also herald LG’s switch to its own custom processors rather than continuing to rely on off-the-shelf Qualcomm solutions.

It seems we’ll have to wait a little longer for the LG G3 reveal, then, with the release date tipped for May. For now, at least, we know that the LG G Pro 2 is just a month away from taking a bow.

LG Flexible phones are the ‘future of the industry’

Following the recent launch of the LG G Flex, the Korean manufactuer has suggested that bendable handsets are here to stay, claiming that flexible phones are “the future of the industry.”


With the LG G Flex having landed late last year as the world’s first consumer available flexible phone, boasting a vertical bend that can be straightened when pressure is applied, LG has now suggested that it expects the technology to become a future industry standard.

“Do we see flexible phones as the future of the industry? The quick answer is yes,” Frank Lee, LG’s Head of Mobile Communications said speaking exclusively with TrustedReviews.

Suggesting that the LG G Flex could be the first of many flexible phones, not only from LG itself but the wider industry, he added: “For so long we have accepted the current form factor and there have been a lot of critics where people have been asking the questions of what’s next. This is just a glimpse of what could be.”

While standard candybar handset designs have been the norm for some time, the company believes the industry is on the cusp of a major change in this area. With the LG G Flex having been joined on sale by the horizontally curved Samsung Galaxy Round, it appears this movement has already state.

While it has claimed that flexible phones are the future, LG has failed to rule out any other possibilities for how future phones might develop.

Lee stated: “Our design teams and our engineering teams are looking at the possibilities and looking at how the smartphone is going to evolve in terms of form factor.”

Reverting back to flexible phones and the LG G Flex, he concluded: “This is just a demonstration of really what the future is going to be like.”

The LG G Flex is already available for purchase in LG’s native Korea. Although pricing has yet to be confirmed, the company has announced that the phone will be rolled out across the UK and the US early this year.

LG Windows Phone 8 mobile in the works

LG is working on a phone that runs the Windows Phone 8 operating system, with the handset currently at R&D phase.


According to Indian website Lightreading.in, LG is in the process of making its first Windows Phone 8 mobile.

LG India MD Soon H Kwon says that “we are actually working on our Windows Phone 8 OS powered smartphone,” although had no specific release plans to share about the device.

Although LG produced one of the first Windows Phone 7 mobiles, in the shape of the LG Optimus 7, this phone – if released – will be the first Windows Phone 8 handset to come from the company.

Kwon explained the company’s renewed interest in the Microsoft platform, saying “we believe that Windows will pick up going ahead, as Microsoft is pumping efforts into it.”


The future of Windows Phone 8


Reports on the future of Windows Phone vary wildly depending on where you look, though.

A Canalys report released in June 2013 suggests that Windows Phone will have a fairly healthy 12.7 per cent share of the mobile market by 2017. However, the latest figures show Windows Phone’s share shrinking.

Recent comScore stats analysing US mobile market share drop from 3.2 per cent to just 3 per cent between Q1 2013 and Q2 2013 – from bad to (slightly) worse.

To date, the highest-profile Windows Phone devices have come from Nokia. Its Lumia-series mobiles such as the Lumia 925 and Lumia 800 have been given far greater marketing support than any other Windows Phone handsets.

LG Phones


Although LG is considered a diminishing star in the mobile firmament by some, its production of the Google Nexus 4 has actually seen its market share rise in the last year.

It mobile market share in Q1 2013 was 4.9 per cent, up from 3.2 per cent in Q1 2012. However, Kantar Worldpanel ComTech says LG’s increase in share is “almost solely driven” by the Nexus 4.

The most obvious issue – the Google Nexus 4 is not universally recognised as an ‘LG’ phone.

Google’s next phone was initially expected to be made by Motorola, the mobile arm of which was bought by Google in 2012.

However, reports surfacing as recently as a month ago suggest LG will be behind the Google Nexus 5. Perhaps LG’s mobile fortunes are set to continue.

LG G2 Mini confirmed for MWC 2014 unveiling

Forget about the bendable LG G Flex, the Korean manufacturer has confirmed that the repeatedly rumoured LG G2 Mini will be officially unveiled at MWC 2014.


Having been the subject of multiple leaks and rumours in recent weeks, LG has confirmed that the LG G2 Mini, a smaller version of the flagship LG G2, will enter the realms of reality in less than two weeks’ time.

Following on the heels of the Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini and HTC One Mini, compact, reduced spec siblings to the flagship Samsung Galaxy S4 and HTC One respectively, the LG G2 Mini has been confirmed by the company’s official Facebook page.

As well as offering up the first official image of the LG G2 Mini, shown alongside its big sibling, LG has stated: “Experience the MINI. Mobile World Congress. 2014-02-24.”

The dating of the company’s product teases has revealed that the handset will be formally showcased for the first time on the opening day on the show, Monday February 24.

Although LG has failed to offer any formal LG G2 Mini specs, recent rumours have suggested the phone will boast a 4.3-inch display, with the G2’s 1080p Full HD display dropping to a less than impressive 960 x 540p offering.

While the official image has confirmed the Mini will retain the G2’s rear-mounted volume controls, rumours have hinted that the handset will be powered by a 1.2GHz quad-core Snapdragon 400 processor and Google’s latest Android 4.4 KitKat OS.

With the LG G2 Mini confirmed for a February 24 unveiling, the handset is set to be unveiled on the same day as the eagerly awaited Samsung Galaxy S5, one of the most eagerly awaited handsets of the year.
