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.

Panasonic tipped to launch rugged smartphone at MWC 2014

Panasonic is reportedly preparing to re-enter the smartphone market with a rugged handset at MWC 2014.


The last phone Panasonic launched was the Panasonic Eluga at MWC 2012 – a waterproof mobile that really didn’t do very well at all.

In fact, the Eluga was such a disaster, Panasonic pulled out of the smartphone market completely in 2013.

However, MWC 2014 could be where it makes its smartphone comeback with a rugged, shock proof handset.

According to Japanese site, Asahi, Panasonic is preparing a shockproof smartphone for an MWC launch, but didn’t actually received much info about the device.

All we know so far from the unnamed sources is that the mystery device will have a 5-inch screen.

It is suggested that the Panasonic 2014 smartphone will be aimed at construction site workers and other similar users, meaning it may not be aimed at the general mainstream market.

Panasonic is supposedly already in talks with construction companies in the US to form partnerships for the device come launch.

Unfortunately that’s all the information we have so far on Panasonic’s alleged re-entry into the smartphone market.

The device sounds rather niche, so we expect it could potentially follow in the Eluga’s footsteps if Panasonic doesn’t manage to pull off a major partnership.

Sony Xperia G mid range device leaked ahead of potential MWC launch

The Sony Xperia G mid-range smartphone has been leaked online ahead of a potential MWC launch.


According to a tweet from prolific tech tipster @vizileaks, the Sony Xperia G will be the mid-range device to launch at MWC alongside the high-end Sony Xperia Z2.

The Xperia G has been spotted before in leaked benchmarks with specs very similar to the Motorola Moto G.

From the leaked photograph, the Sony Xperia G looks to offer a screen size of around 4.6- or 4.8-inches. It is seen with what looks to be the 5-inch Sony Xperia Z1, which makes us believe it has such a screen size.

However, Sony may well have reduced the bezel size of the Xperia G and kitted it out with a 5-inch display.

Of course, the phone on top could be the Sony Xperia Z1 Compact too, meaning that the display may be as small as 4.3-inches or lower, but we sincerely doubt it.

The previously leaked benchmarks suggest the Xperia G will have a 1.4GHz quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 processor and run Android 4.4 KitKat out of the box.

It is also tipped to feature a 720p HD resolution display, rather than full 1080p HD to keep it in-line with its mid-range price tag.

That’s all we know about the Sony Xperia G for now, but it may well be part of Sony’s MWC 2014 line-up.

MWC starts on February 23 in Barcelona. TrustedReviews will be on hand to bring you all the latest news as it happens.

Set to target a lower price point than the company’s flagship offering, the HTC Desire 816 has been unveiled while the upcoming HTC One 2 reamins shrouded in mystery.

“This year, one of our plans is to take some of our great design and experiences to even more people,” HTC CEO Peter Chou said in unveiling the HTC Desire 816.

HTC Desire 816 Features

Running Google’s Android 4.4 KitKat OS skinned with the company’s Sense UI, the phone is set to be made available in a range of colours, with white, black, green and red backed handsets all sporting premium facia.

Powered by a quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 processor, the mid-range HTC Desire 816 adds a 13-megapiexl rear camera alongside a 5-megapixel forward-facing snapper. On top of this, forward-facing stereo speakers, much like the BoomSound offerings found on the HTC One are present.

HTC Desire 816 Release Date and Price
The HTC Desire 816 will be start a global rollout in March. Kicking off in China, the phone will be available across more markets, including European territories from April. An exact UK release has yet to be announced.

Nokia Lumia 1820 and Lumia 1525 specs leak ahead of MWC unveiling

Specs for the Nokia Lumia 1820 and Nokia Lumia 1525 have leaked online ahead of an official MWC unveiling.


Nokia could be making quite an impact at this year’s MWC if the latest leaked specs for its upcoming handsets turn out to be accurate.

Acccording to a brand new source named @NextLeaks, Nokia will launch the flagship Lumia 1820 and the Lumia 1525 phablet will be launched at the show.

Of course, this new tipster doesn’t have the proven track record of someone like @evleaks, but we really hope these specs are the real deal.

The Lumia 1820 will reportedly feature a 5.2-inch 2K 2048 x 1080p resolution display running on a quad-core Snapdragon 805 processor with 3GB of RAM.

It will be powered by a 3,400mAh battery, feature 32GB of internal storage and have a microSD card slot.

In the rear will be a Xenon flash and a Lytro-like camera that allows post-capture retouching from within the phone itself.

Apparently, it’ll be released in March 2014 and will have a similar design to the metal-bodied Nokia Lumia 925.

The information from @NextLeaks also suggests the Lumia 1525 phablet will have exactly the same hardware, including that super-speedy Snapdragon 805 processor.

However, it’ll come with a 6-inch 2K display that will feature solar panels within it to charge the 3,400mAh battery.

It will also feature a 25- or 30-megapixel rear camera, rather than the Lytro-style option of the 1820.

There’s no indication that the specs above are correct, but they do sound like the spec sheet dream.

New Nokia X Android pictures leak ahead of MWC unveiling

Ahead of a widely expected MWC 2014 unveiling, the heavily rumoured Nokia X Android phone has been caught on camera yet again.


Tipped to mark Nokia’s first foray into the Android smartphone scene – shortly before the company is taken over by Microsoft – the Nokia X has been the subject of multiple leaks and rumours in recent weeks, with another promotional image of the handset now making a premature appearance.

Once again surfacing courtesy of the serial, Twitter-based tipster @evleaks, the latest Nokia X picture has showcased the green bodied entry-level handset from a number of angles.

With a slightly squat, boxy design, the Nokia X handset looks set to feature a form factor markedly similar to the existing Nokia Asha 503, a budget handset for emerging markets.

Although the latest Nokia X picture leak has failed to offer any new, concrete details on the phone, recent rumours have suggested the handset will be a true entry-level offering, with a compact 4-inch display paired with a 1.2GHz dual-core processor and 512MB of RAM.

With the handset’s display mooted to support a basic 800 x 480p resolution, further Nokia X specs tipped to feature include a 5-megapixel rear-mounted camera, 4GB of internal memory and the now massive outdated Android 4.1 Jelly Bean OS.

The Nokia X is widely expected to be unveiled as the Finnish manufacturer’s first Android-powered handset during next Monday’s February 24 MWC 2014 press conference. The phone is believed to be heading for launch in a range of colours including red and green.

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.
