LG unveiled the LG G3 - "Simple is the new Smart"

LG, yesterday, announced the successor to the LG G2 and will be the company's 2014 flagship Android smartphone. The LG G3 was announced in London yesterday in a huge setting with Dr. Woo taking the stage. LG aims and promises that the G3 will be simple and not something complex and hard to learn which personally is a truth when it comes to smartphones and with today's new technologies just sprouting out like mushrooms. Like the G2, the G3, has the lock and power button at the device's rear. It has some neat stuff in it like a laser auto focus technology for the device's camera and a 5.5" Quad HD display among others. The LG G3 is said to stomp the Samsung Galaxy S5 and make it look like old technology. The G3 will first shed light on a store shelf in South Korea by May 28th and according to LG will be rolled out to other regions around the world afterwards. For the exact date? You and I will have to wait for that.

HTC announces the HTC One Mini 2

HTC has announced the HTC One Mini 2. As what the name suggests, it is the mini version of the HTC One (M8), their 2014 Android flagship smartphone. Also, HTC is struggling not only in their general smartphone sales but also in the mid-range market. Like most mini versions of a flagship device, the One Mini 2 does not deviate from the design concept of it's bigger brother. The only difference from this device to the bigger brother is the size and of course the specs, not to mention the price. As per HTC, the Mini 2 should be available starting June 2014.

The HTC One (M8)

HTC has finally unveiled their 2014 Android Flagship smartphone, the HTC One... M8. The smartphone is said to be already available. I am not sure though which countries have it but in the US the HTC One (M8) is available for order via AT&T, Verizon, and Sprint. Other carriers will get it by April 10th. In the Philippines and other countries around the world, it'd be best if you check with your carriers if they already have the said device. If not, then it probably will be available by April.

Sony unveils Project Morpheus virtual reality headgear for the PS4

At the Game Developers Conference, Sony has unveiled Project Morpheus. Morpheus is a headgear that brings virtual reality gaming into reality. The device, which is sold separate, is expected to work with your PlayStation 4. Unfortunately, they actually just unveiled the "Project" much like a "Concept" when car companies unveil what they want to do in the future. But since Sony said that it will work with the PS4 the headgear will definitely be available within this year.

Motorola and LG announce the Moto 360 and the G Watch - Android Wear smartwatches

Both LG and Motorola announced their own Smartwatch after Google announced Android Wear. Motorola calls theirs the Moto 360 and LG calls theirs as the G Watch. Both are still not available for purchase since the OS they will be running on are still in development. Google is expecting the OS to be available from April so we might also expect Motorola and LG lunch these smartwatches by that month. No prices announced no exact dates when they will be available but we will just have to wait for them to arrive in store shelves.

Google announces Android Wear

Google has announced their take on Wearables. Well this is not hardware, apparently, this is the software that wearables will be running on when OEMs will be making. Think of it as the Tizen OS Samsung used in their Gear 2, Gear 2 Neo, and the Gear Fit. But unlike Samsung's Tizen OS, Android Wear is still Android, only that it is optimized (or redesigned, if you may) to work seamlessly to Wearables. I should say, Google nailed this. With Google Now and their brilliance? This will definitely make Samsung's wearables look dumb. But then again, this is just a "concept" again, if you may. There is still no hardware for this. Motorola and LG might have announced their own smartwatches but they still can't actually demo them because Android Wear is still being developed. Nonetheless, this is awesome. Wait until you watch the video Google made to intro the said OS.
