Hasta La Gadget!

A couple of days ago we reported that Sony might have a Xperia Tablet Z in the works, and while that may or may not be the case, it seems that more evidence of the Sony Xperia Tablet Z has surfaced via Japanese carrier, NTT DoCoMo. As you can see in the screenshot above, it looks like NTT DoCoMo has scheduled an event on the 22^nd of January 2013 which according to the text, will introduce the latest in Sony’s Xperia series of devices with the Xperia Tablet Z being named as one of them. It’s a bit odd that Sony might launch the tablet at NTT DoCoMo’s event versus a larger scale event such as the upcoming   MWC 2013, although with Sony being a Japanese company, we wouldn’t be surprised if they had some kind of deal with the Japanese carrier as well.

In any case rumor has it that the Xperia Tablet Z will feature a 10.1” Full HD 1080p touchscreen display with a 1.5GHz quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Pro chipset on board, 2GB of RAM, 32GB of internal storage, a 6,000mAh battery with Android Jelly Bean running the show. It is also expected to be encased in a rugged body which would allow it to withstand a fair amount of abuse. In essence and assuming the rumors are true, the Xperia Tablet Z sounds like the Xperia Z but in tablet form. We’ll keep our eyes peeled for more information, but check back with us on the 22^nd of January to see if the rumors pan out!

You can more or less say with confidence that LG never really managed to make a splash with their Nexus 4 device, but as momma always said, it doesn’t matter how many times you fall down, the important part is getting back on your own two feet afterwards. LG has not had much luck with the limited supply of the Nexus 4, and so it is with great pleasure that we bring you the latest rumors concerning the next generation of Nexii devices – and we will kick things off with the LG Nexus 5.

Touted to arrive with a 5″ Full HD display, the Nexus 5 will also carry the new NVIDIA Tegra 4, 2GB RAM, a 13-megapixel shooter at the back, a 3-megapixel camera in front, and a choice between 8GB or 16GB of internal memory.

As for the next Google tablet, it will most likely be a Nexus 7.7 that carries a 1,920 x 1,200 resolution (294ppi) display, NVIDIA’s Tegra 4 of course, 8GB of internal memory, front and rear HD cameras. Same rumors also point to the official unveiling of both devices at the Google I/O conference that is happening in mid-May this year. What do you make of these rumors?

Fans of the LG Optimus G might recall that a few weeks ago, it was suggested that the Optimus G2 could get a possible announcement at CES 2013, but unfortunately the event came and went and apart from new LG TVs, there was no mention of the handset at all. Now according to new reports, it seems that the reason why the Optimus G2 did not make its scheduled CES appearance was due to the handset apparently being delayed for later on this year, and will be delayed until the Fall of 2013 which is when Google is expected to release its next major build of Android – Android 5.0 Key Lime Pie. Specs of the device aren’t known at the moment, but many are pretty sure it will sport a Full HD display which seems to be the trend these days.

However at the same time there have also been rumors that LG could be unveiling a quad-core, Full HD 5.5” Android smartphone at MWC 2013 called the Optimus GK, so we’re not sure what to make of this just yet. Either way MWC 2013 will be taking place in over a month’s time and we will be on site, so check back with us then for all the details. In the meantime we suggest you take this with a grain of salt for now.

When it comes to Windows Phone, it’s safe to say that most minds turn to either Nokia or HTC these days. Well if you’re looking for a bit more variety, it seems that you might be able to add LG to that list because according to a report by The Korea Times, it seems that LG is interested in returning to the Windows Phone scene with a Windows Phone 8 handset of their own. For those who might remember, LG attempted to release a Windows Phone 7.5 device called the LG Fantasy which was said to be making its way onto Sprint’s network, but unfortunately that did not happen and we’re not sure why LG decided to cancel their plans for the device.

There were also a slew of contradicting reports which suggested that LG’s focus would be purely on Android and that they would be abandoning the Windows Phone platform, which was then later denied by LG themselves (although the lack of new LG Windows Phone handsets would suggest otherwise). In any case, LG has been making a name for themselves recently with the Optimus G, the world’s first Android smartphone with a quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Pro chipset, and by being the company responsible for the manufacturing of Google’s Nexus 4 handset. Either way with Windows Phone 8 being a huge improvement over the Windows Phone platform when it first launched, it might be possible that LG sees a future with it. We’ll keep our eyes peeled for more information, so stay tuned for more updates.

Last year we reported that Sony could be taking advantage of the CP+ event to show off new NEX and DSLR cameras, and according to the folks at Sony Alpha Rumors, one of the NEX devices that Sony could be unveiled would be the Sony NEX-3N. According to their sources, the Sony NEX-3N will be the successor to the Sony NEX-3, although at this point in time it is unclear as to what sort of features the NEX-3N will come with. In any case with CP+ taking place on the 31^st of January, we guess we only have a couple of weeks more before Sony’s offerings are unveiled. In the meantime what are you looking forward to most from Sony? New DSLR cameras or are you more in the market for Sony’s NEX mirrorless camera systems instead?
