Rumors have already started circulating about the successor to the popular LG G2 smartphone. Apparently the company wasn’t able to sell as many G2 units as it wanted to, which is believed to be the reason why its going to launch the successor a bit earlier this year. LG itself hasn’t commented on its 2014 smartphone plans as yet, but reports coming in from Korea suggest that the company might first launch the G Pro 2 before moving on to the G3. G Pro 2 will be the successor of its Optimus G Pro smartphone.

It is believed that the G Pro 2 might be released around March 2014. Not much is known about this device right now, nothing has been rumored about its specifications or design. The display size, 5.5 inches, is expected to be retained while improvements are expected under the hood. As far as the LG G3 is concerned, it is rumored to have a 2,560×1,440 pixel resolution display, LG’s own octacore processor, 16 megapixel rear camera and possibly a fingerprint scanner as well. Nothing has been said as yet about the design of the G3 as well, so its a bit early to be really sure about how LG’s 2014 premium smartphone lineup is going to shape up.

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.

If you’re a fan of television sets and if you were thinking about furnishing your home with a brand new TV, you’re in luck because according to LG, the South Korean tech giant plans on unveiling what they’re calling the most comprehensive OLED TV lineup on the planet come CES 2014, which is taking place later next week. During the exhibition, LG will be taking the opportunity to unveil a series of OLED televisions ranging in a variety of sizes, with the smallest being of the 55-inch variety, and the largest being a 77-inch curved Ultra HD display, all of which will feature LG’s WRGB OLED technology and 4K resolution.

Now we’re sure some of you guys are wondering with companies unveiling new televisions every year, doesn’t it get expensive to keep upgrading? Well fret not because LG is boasting that their TVs are future proof, meaning that they will be able to decode broadcast signals in both H.264 and HEVC H.265 formats, at either 30p or 60p. The 77-inch model will also run on LG’s latest smart TV platform, but as to whether that platform is the webOS one which we recently saw leaked remains to be seen.

The 55-inch model will come with LG’s Canvas Speaker which is a 2.2 channel, 100W forward-facing set of speakers, which LG is boasting that along with the display technology beneath it, will actually make a living room feel like an art gallery. This is thanks to features such as Gallery Mode that will turn the TV into a picture frame while displaying some of the world’s most famous pieces of art. Unfortunately pricing and availability were not mentioned, but we can only hope that LG has more information to share come CES 2014, so check back with us then for the details.

According to the rumors, LG could be looking to launch new wearable products come 2014. One of them is allegedly a smartwatch but while LG has not confirmed such a device, they did state that wearable tech products were in the works. Apart from the rumored smartwatch, another rumored LG wearable tech product is said to be a fitness band of sorts, similar to that of the Nike FuelBand SE, Fitibt, or Jawbone Up, and thanks to a newly leaked photo by @evleaks, we could be getting our very first look at the upcoming LG fitness band which is allegedly known as the the LG Lifeband Touch. Based on what we can see, LG’s offering is looking similar to the FuelBand SE and looks to have some kind of display on the surface, either that or it’s just a really glossy material.

The features remain unknown but presumably it will offer the same features found on other fitness bands, such as step counting, distance run, calories burnt, and maybe even a heart rate monitor. It is also unclear as to whether this device will be a standalone device or if it will be like the Samsung Galaxy Gear which at the moment is only compatible with a handful of Samsung’s smartphones, somewhat limiting its use. In any case hopefully more will be known at CES 2014 which is taking place very soon, so do check back with us then for the details.
