While we fritter away our hours sharing cat pictures on Facebook, Samsung prefers to issue forth teasers for its forthcoming products. The latest is the above snap, raising hopes that its Series 5 Hybrid PC will be formally announced a teutonic trade show IFA this week. The 11-inch Transformer-esque device features a tablet that’s magnetically-attached to a keyboard dock, running “full” Windows 8 on Intel’s Clover Trail x86 architecture. In addition to Redmond’s newest OS, it’ll use native versions of the S-Pen apps we’ve used on the Galaxy Note 10.1, although it’s probably too much to hope that it’ll be able to make calls like its cousin.

So, it seems that all those airborne clues about LG’s new superphone are slowly coalescing into something more concrete. In fact, according to the folk at AndroidMx, so concrete they’ve actually had a go with one. Most of the specification they report chimes with what we’d already heard. The 1.5GHz quad-core Snapdragon S4, the 2GB of RAM, the 4.7-inch IPS display, Android 4.0.4 and 13-megapixel camera, all present and correct. The screen resolution actually claims to be 1,280 x 768 if the grabs are to be believed, but AndroidMx does remind us that this is all pre-production hardware, so final details might change. This makes sense, especially given the video tease we saw yesterday, which hinted at a slightly more rounded design. Hopes are, that we’ll be put out of our misery come IFA, but with other potentially big announcements also in the pipeline, it’s going to be a busy week in mobile-land.

Not too long ago, specs of LG’s upcoming 4.7” Android quad-core phone leaked. However as with the cases of most leaks and rumors, they’re best approached with a hint of skepticism just in case they fall short. Well as some of you guys know by now, IFA will be taking place next week and LG may have confirmed the devices themselves by creating a new website that talks about a new phone by them that sports the Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Pro processor along with a quad-core chipset, supposedly unrivaled in mobile computing. Rumored to be known as the LG Optimus G, apart from its quad-core processor, the handset is also rumored to feature 2GB of RAM and a 13MP camera to boot. This is probably the closest thing we can get to a confirmation for now, but if you’d like to learn more about the device, be sure to check back with us during IFA as we will be bringing you all the details!

Just in time to completely blow away that puny flat screen you nabbed for your dorm room, LG has announced its 84-inch ultra high definition LCD TV is ready to ship in South Korea. The company put its first UHDTV up for pre-ordering last month, at a price of 25 million won, which currently converts to about $22,105 US. The 84LM9600 does 3D with LG’s Cinema 3D passive glasses technology, however its ultra high pixel count means you’re still watching in 1080p even with the resolution loss since it starts at 3,840 x 2,160, and also features “3D sound” with integrated 2.2 channel speakers.

The bad news of course is that finding actual 4K res content is practically impossible, despite recent work on standards and even some testing by broadcasters. Still, plug this into a BDP-S790 Blu-ray player, certain PS3 apps or just output the latest video you’ve shot and it should be worth the price of admission, assuming you’re one of the (presumably) well-heeled Korean VIP customers that managed to snag one so far. If you’re not then don’t worry — the press release (included after the break) reveals you’ll have your chance once they start shipping worldwide in September, we plan to get our eyes on a production model at IFA 2012 in Germany.
