We have been hearing rumors that LG could be looking to launch new tablets of their own, with certain LG devices even being spotted at the FCC.  In any case the name LG G Pad has also been thrown around quite a bit and we’re sure some of you guys are wondering what sort of hardware specs this alleged device could hold. Last we heard the device could sport an 8.3” display with a resolution of 1920×1200 and will be quad-core powered with 2GB of RAM. At that time it was rumored that the chipset used could be Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 800, but according to Korean media outlets, it will instead use the Snapdragon 600 chipset rather than the Snapdragon 800.

The sources have also confirmed its 8.3” display and has added that it will be available in both WiFi-only and LTE variants, with the WiFi model destined for the Korean markets, and the LTE model expected to make its way onto Verizon’s network in the US. In any case take it with a grain of salt for now, but it is possible that the LG G Pad could make its debut at IFA 2013 so if you’d like to learn more, be sure to check back with us then for the details!

Yesterday we reported that Sony had teased their upcoming Sony Honami handset on their Twitter page, and not too long after Sony posted a new image which you can see in the picture above. This time the tagline reads “About to make a splash”, with what appears to be the phone being dunked underwater. Given that the Sony Xperia Z did come with water resistant capabilities, it looks like that feature could be brought over to the Honami device as well, at least that’s what the photo seems to be telling us.

The Sony Honami, for those unfamiliar, is Sony’s upcoming Android smartphone which could be marketed as the Xperia Z1 or the Xperia i1, with both names being tossed around recently. While its hardware is rumored to be pretty powerful, what with a 5” Full HD display and a 2.2GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 chipset, its main feature would be its 20MP camera which presumably would put it up against Samsung’s Galaxy S4 Zoom and the Nokia Lumia 1020, both devices in which the camera is the main feature. Sony is expected to unveil the device at their IFA 2013 press event on the 4^th of September, so check back with us then for the details.

Samsung has an event scheduled on September 4th. The event’s invite contained a hint about what it intends to unveil. For the past couple of months we’ve been hearing that Samsung will unveil its next generation phablet, the Galaxy Note 3, in September. The invite hinted at just that. Galaxy Note 3 is one of the most hotly anticipated device of this summer, the company will finally unveil every single detail there is to know, regardless of the fact that there have already been a lot of rumors about its features and specifications. A new rumor has surfaced today. Samsung will apparently offer Galaxy Note 3 in pink, apart from the conventional black and white colors.

The rumor comes from Sammobile, they claim to have heard from an insider that during September, Samsung will ship Galaxy Note 3 in black and white. After a month, around late October, they’ll start shipping the phablet in pink. It is not known right now if this color option will be limited to certain markets, such as the company’s native South Korea or Taiwan. There’s obviously no way of confirming right now if the pink Galaxy Note 3 will find its way Stateside. There’s also the possibility that release schedules may change, Samsung is expected to put the phablet out soon after the announcement takes place on September 4th.

The IFA 2013 conference takes place next month in Berlin. A lot of interesting announcements are expected to come out from the conference. It appears that Sony will be officially launching a new VAIO product based on the laptop-tablet hybrid form factor. The company has posted a short teaser video online which shows a piece of paper being folded into various orientations such as a laptop and a tablet.

At the IFA conference last year Sony launched the VAIO Duo 11. Its an 11 inch ultrabook which can also be used as a bulky tablet as the screen can be slid down to cover the entire keyboard. Based on this history, one can speculate that Sony will launch a similar hybrid product, even if the teaser isn’t immediately clear about the product that Sony intends to launch next month. The teaser video ends with “It all begins with one line,” and the Sony and VAIO branding gets sketched by hand on the folded piece of paper. Ubergizmo will be at IFA 2013 next month, we’ll bring you all of the updates from the conference. Other exciting products expected to be announced at the conference include Samsung Galaxy Note 3 as well as the Galaxy Gear smartwatch.

Many soundbars are designed for small or mid-sized TV sets, where price and space are top priorities. Samsung is bucking that trend with its newly unveiled AirTrack HW-F850: its follow-up to the vacuum tube-based F750 is built expressly for 60-inch and larger screens. As Samsung can afford a considerably larger bar, the F850 boosts the total power to 350W, up 40W from the F750. The company promises deeper bass from the subwoofer, too. As you’d expect, both Bluetooth audio and NFC pairing carry over from the F850’s tinier counterparts. Samsung expects to ship the extra-large soundbar to Europe in September; the company hasn’t mentioned pricing, although the F850 will likely command a premium over smaller AirTrack models.
