According to reports, LG will be unveiling their webOS-based smart television come CES 2014. One of the unique aspects of the upcoming device would be its cards interface and thanks to a recently leaked photo from the ever-reliable @evleaks, we now know what we might able to expect from LG next week. Pictured above appears to be the upcoming smart TV from LG running the webOS operating system, and true to the rumors, it looks like the cards interface is present and does give off a rather unique and interesting vibe. Considering that smart TVs these days share a somewhat similar interface to smartphones, which we guess is understandable given the experience that most of us have navigating smartphone, this new UI is a big departure in terms of design.

The leaked interface also shows off apps from YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, and Skype, assuming of course these apps will be available and weren’t simply throw in there as mockups. As to how well this interface will perform versus the more traditional look remains to be seen, and it will be interesting to see if LG’s take on the new UI is more function than form. Either way we expect we will learn more come CES 2014, so if you’re interested in seeing what LG’s upcoming smart TV and its new user interface has to offer, check back with us then for the details.

Earlier this year, Huawei announced the Ascend Mate smartphone which is why it does not come as a complete surprise to think that Huawei might be looking to introduce a successor in the form of the Ascend Mate 2, which we have seen in leaked photos and certifications. In any case there is a good chance that Huawei could take advantage of CES 2014 to announce the successor of the Ascend Mate but until then, newly leaked photos of the handset has since made its way online, giving us a better glimpse at the device prior to its officially unveiling. The photos (courtesy of Engadget) shows off various angles of the handset which we have to say doesn’t look particularly flashy, but we guess it should get the job done.

As far as specs are concerned, we have only heard the rumors, but if they are to be believed, the device is rumored to sport a 6.1” display and oddly enough will keep its 1280x720p HD resolution, as opposed to upgrading it to Full HD which seems to be the standard these days. Pretty odd given that 2K phones are starting to make their appearance but we guess this is one way to keep costs down. Other rumored specs include a 1.6GHz quad-core processor of Huawei’s own make, 2GB of RAM, a 13MP rear-facing camera, and a 5MP front-facing camera, with Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean running the phone.

We expect Huawei will announce the device in its official capacity at CES 2014, so be sure to check back with us then for the details. In the meantime you can check out our review of the original Ascend Mate to get an idea of what to expect.

Oppo has been making the headlines recently and one of the Chinese company’s upcoming handsets is the Oppo Find 7, which we recently found out has been confirmed to feature a 5.5” display with a 2K resolution, making them the second company to release such a device behind the Vivo Xplay 3S. Oppo has been teasing the handset for a while now and while we’re still unsure when the handset will be officially revealed, a leaked photo has started to make its rounds on the internet where it shows off what appears to be the metal frame that will be making its way into the Find 7.

While the specs of the Find 7 have been rumored for a while now, this is the first time we’re getting a glimpse at its metal frame, indicating that Oppo could be turning to more premium materials for the build of the phone, as opposed to using plastic which is common practice amongst most smartphone OEMs. The measurements of the phone confirm that the display is of the 5.5” variety, so at the very least it would seem as though this leaked component is the real deal. Based on what we know so far, the rest of the Find 7’s specs include a 2.4GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 processor with 3GB of RAM, and a 16MP Sony Exmor camera on the back, and might possibly come with CyanogenMod preinstalled, similar to the Oppo N1. Take it with a grain of salt for now, but with CES and MWC around the corner, perhaps Oppo will share more details with us then.

According to recent rumors, the upcoming Nokia Lumia 929 for Verizon could be known as the Lumia Icon, but since these are merely rumors, it’s quite hard to tell if they are true. Well according to a leaked photo by @evleaks, it would seem as though the Lumia Icon name is confirmed. This is according to the photo above which is apparently that of an accessory card for Verizon, but unfortunately the image does not resemble anything other than some colored and blurred out rectangles. However this is @evleaks we’re talking about and he has had a pretty stellar track record so far, but at the same time we suppose it is safer to err on caution and take it with a grain of salt for now.

For those hearing about the Lumia 929 a.k.a Lumia Icon, the handset is said to be a smaller version of the Lumia 1520. It is expected to pack the same hardware specs under the hood, but instead of featuring a phablet-sized display, it will feature a more compact 5” display instead. An official launch date for the handset has yet to be announced but if the recent rumors are to be believed, its launch has been delayed until February 2014 which is around MWC 2014, so we guess we won’t have to wait too long to hear the official details.

Back in November, Motorola took the wraps off the Moto G which shared the customizability of the Moto X, except that the device would be a low-end product that is aimed at those looking for a smartphone on the cheap and not worry too much about hardware specs, and with it priced at $179, we find that hard to argue with. The handset is expected to see a launch in Q1 2014 on Verizon’s prepaid network and thanks to a recent image that has been leaked by @evleaks, we can see the device in the image above the interestingly enough seems to be missing Verizon’s branding on it.

We’re sure this is good news to would-be Moto G customers who might not necessarily appreciate having the Verizon brand stamped all over the handset, which can be quite an eyesore, not to mention could decrease its resale value as well. In any case for those who might have forgotten, the Moto G is a 4.5” HD Android smartphone from Motorola, which packs a 1.2GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 processor under its hood with 8GB of onboard storage, and will be accompanied by a 5MP rear-facing camera and will run on Android 4.3 Jelly Bean. There will also be a 16GB model that will be priced slightly higher at $199, with both models customizable in terms of its backplate.
