So we have heard the rumors that Google could be building a smartwatch of their own, although it seems like Google will be taking the Nexus route by outsourcing the manufacturing to another company, and if the rumors are to be believed, LG has been pegged as the manufacturer of Google’s smartwatch. According to the reports, Google and LG have teamed up to produce the company’s first smartwatch. The smartwatch’s operating system is expected to debut in March, while the actual device itself will make an appearance in June during the Google I/O conference.

Interestingly enough despite many assuming Google might turn to Android for the smartwatch operating system, the rumor suggests that the smartwatch might run a platform that will be based heavily upon Google Now, which coincidentally enough is also part of Google’s other piece of wearable technology, Google Glass. Assuming all of this is true, it will be interesting to see what Google’s smartwatch efforts will result in. So far in 2014 we have already seen a handful of smartwatches make their debut, like the Samsung Galaxy Gear 2 and Galaxy Gear Neo, Huawei’s TalkBand, the Sony SmartWatch 2, and the Pebble Steel, so we have to wonder how Google’s own offering will stand up to the competition, or if Google’s branding is strong enough where they will manage to attract new customers anyway.

We’re sure there are many LG G2 users out there who can’t wait to get their hands on the Android 4.4 KitKat update. Of course for those living in the US, carrier approval might cause it to be delayed a little bit longer when everyone else around the world might have already received their updates, but good things come to those who wait, right? Well in a recent video posted by LG, it certainly seems to mean that as the South Korean tech company has posted a video in which they compare two LG G2 handsets side-by-side. One of them is running Android Jelly Bean, while the other is running on Android KitKat.

The video puts both devices through a speed test, such as web browsing and gallery performance, showing that the device running on KitKat is faster, thus making the wait all that more excruciating!  The LG G2 is fast as it is but we guess make it smoother and faster in a software update is always welcome, right? That being said, the video’s description has also suggested that the update will be making its way in the middle of March for G2 owners in the UK. We’re not sure what this means for everyone else around the world, but presumably we can expect our updates around the same time as well, or at least that’s what we hope. If you have a few minutes to spare, check out the comparison in the video above.

The folks over at LG have done it yet again, where they intend to wow the world with a new set of smartphones, with the venue of choice being Mobile World Congress that is happening at Barcelona, Spain, later this month. There will be key elements of LG’s design heritage implemented across all various facets of the visually striking L Series III smartphones. Sporting a seamless layout, delicate finishing, refined metallic frame and Quick Window smart cover, all of these will be amalgamated together perfectly. Quick Window that will arrive in a trio of vibrant colors, will be the first cover from LG which has been specially designed for a mid-range smartphone. Quick Window would also deliver functional benefits that go beyond mere protection from drops and bumps, as the presence of this see-through window would enable one to check out just who is making a call, at the same time figure out the current time without having to open up the cover.

All of the L Series III models will be powered by Android 4.4 KitKat as the mobile operating system of choice, which would definitely place it in good stead with the rest of the market. LG hopes that by throwing in Android 4.4 KitKat into these handsets, it will be able to deliver the most up-to-date and optimized Android experience across a broader audience. In

If you happen to drop by Mobile World Congress that is about to kick off shortly, you will be able to experience the first three L Series III smartphones, where they are the L40, L70, and L90. The L90 will obviously be the “flagship” model among the three, sporting a quad-core 1.2GHz processor, a 4.7″ IPS qHD (960 x 540 resolution) display, 8GB of internal memory, 1GB RAM, an 8-megapixel shooter at the back with a 1.3-megapixel shooter in front, and a 2,540mAh removable battery.

There is also the LG L70, which will come with a dual-core 1.2GHz processor, a 4.5″ IPS display, 4GB of internal memory and 1GB RAM, while sporting an 8-megapixel shooter at the back with another camera in front. Last but not least, the L40 is pretty much your average entry level device, and we do not have details on their pricing at this point in time.
