Hasta La Gadget!

A few days ago we saw a leaked image of the upcoming LG Optimus L9 II, which according to a report back in May suggested a June announcement, but we guess it’s pretty obvious that LG has missed the date. In any case better late than never, right? If you believe in that adage, you will be interested to learn that the LG Optimus L9 II has been officially launched in the Netherlands. The handset is an upgrade over the original LG Optimus L9 from back in 2012, and if you liked what you saw then, perhaps its successor could be your cup of tea as well.

The rumors appear to be have been on point as the handset has been revealed to sport a 4.7” True HD IPS display, a dual-core 1.4GHz processor of unknown make, a 2,150mAh battery, an 8MP rear-facing camera, a 1.3MP front-facing camera, and will come with Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean running the show. It’s definitely not the most powerful Android smartphone that LG has put out, but given its specs, we expect that it will probably come with an affordable price tag attached to it that should make it an appealing purchase to customers on a tight budget. It is expected to go on sale this October, although no word on when it will be arriving stateside.

LG today posted a four minute video on YouTube detailing the exhaustive feature list of its latest Android flagship smartphone, the LG G2. The device has already been officially unveiled, though it has not been confirmed as yet when it will be released in the U.S. As per recent rumors, Verizon will release the device on September 12th and AT&T will follow up with its own release the very next day. Nothing has been confirmed though, but that doesn’t mean LG will stop touting the features of its new smartphone. This four minute video shows us what the LG G2 is capable of.

It is imperative for LG to generate as much consumer interest as it possibly can ahead of the release next month. Early next month a handful of new devices are going to be released, which are going to be in direct competition with the G2. These devices include Samsung Galaxy Note 3, HTC One Max and the Sony Xperia Z1. The G2 is well equipped to give them all a run for their money. Apart from its 5.2 inch 1080p HD IPS+ display, the device is powered by a 2.2GHz quadcore processor, 2GB RAM, a 13 megapixel camera with optical image stabilization, a 3,000 mAh battery and more.

Normally, before a particular device actually hits the stage or is officially announced/unveiled, chances are there would have been plenty of leaks happening before that. In fact, the iPhone 5S would be a prime example of such a case study, and we have seen more than our fair share of iPhone 5S leaks and alleged photos, so much so that it runs the risk of iPhone 5S fatigue even before the handset is officially announced, champagne or otherwise. The LG G Pad is an upcoming tablet that, while it will not carry that kind of clout which Apple’s upcoming smartphone does, it is still worth looking out for, especially when you are into Android-powered tablets and want a performer that does not arrive wanting.

The clock has begun ticking, with less than 10 days to go until IFA 2013 happens, which also happens to be the widely speculated showcase that will see the LG G Pad announced to the world for the first time. Perhaps in a move to whet our appetites, LG has rolled out a video teaser that you can watch above in an attempt to add to the hype. What do you think this 8.3” G Pad is going to be like when it finally arrives?

Earlier this year at MWC 2013, there was one odd device out from LG’s stable of smartphones, which so happened to be the LG Optimus L9 being the sole device from the L range that will not be on the receiving end of a successor. Well, things do change from time to time, and word on the street has it that the LG Optimus L9 II will be unveiled in due time – not to mention with a launch date following closely after that. From what we can tell according to the leaked photo of the alleged LG Optimus L9 II above, this particular device does share many physical similarities to its predecessor, but one main difference would be the lack of a hardware Home key, as that was ditched in favor of a capacitive one.

The LG Optimus L9 II has been rumored to be powered by a Qualcomm MSM8230 Snapdragon S4 chipset with a dual-core 1GHz Krait processor, Adreno 305 graphics and 1GB RAM. Other hardware specifications include an 8-megapixel shooter at the back with a 1.3-megapixel camera in front, 8GB of internal memory, and a 2,150mAh battery. Whispers also have it that it will be Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean that will run the show, and all we need now is an official announcement to cement the nitty gritty. After all, the device has already hit the FCC, so it should not be too far away from a release.

Following its availability at several Best Buy locations across the US, LG’s 55-inch curved OLED TV is finally making its way to Europe. The company today announced that it’ll arrive in Germany this week for 8,999 euros (roughly $12,000), with wider availability and pricing set to be announced in Q4. LG notes that it stands as the first to offer this type of kit in both the US and the EU, though, we’re sure Samsung won’t lag too far behind as usual. Full press release after the break.
