The LG Watch W7 marries Wear OS features to a classic analog watch movement

Progress and tradition rarely go hand in hand - you can have either a feature-packed digital smartwatch or the classic beauty of an analog watch. The LG Watch W7 aims to offer the best of both worlds. LG Watch W7 It's a fully fledged Wear OS watch with a 1.2" LCD touchscreen (360 x 360px). But poking through that screen are the hands of a watch mechanism that was developed in collaboration with Swiss watchmaker Soprod SA. The smart side of things is handled by the fairly old Snapdragon Wear 2100 chip. It's paired with 768MB of RAM and 4GB of built-in storage. But if you...

LG V40 ThinQ hands-on review

Someone was inevitably going to do it, and it makes all the sense in the world for it to be LG - the V40 ThinQ is the first phone with both an ultra wide-angle and a telephoto cam on its back. Of course, there's a 'regular' one in between them, for a total of three actual distinct self-sufficient modules unlike. previous triple-cam setups.

LG V40 ThinQ goes official with regular, ultra wide and telephoto cameras

The LG V40 ThinQ is the first phone in the world that lets you take an ultra wide-angle shot or zoom in, thanks to the three cameras on its back. From the 107° ultra wide lens, through the 78° main lens to the 45° telephoto lens, the new flagship covers 3x worth of optical zoom (the lenses are 16-25-50mm in 35mm equivalent). The main camera features a 12MP sensor with 1.4µm pixels, significantly larger than the 1.0µm pixels of the LG G7 and V35. It comes paired with a brighter f/1.5 lens and Optical Image Stabilization, so low-light performance should be much improved. This is the first LG...

Sony Xperia XA3 Ultra renders and video show small bezels for its 6.5-inch display

Yesterday two unannounced Sony devices got leaked CAD-based renders and videos, namely the Xperia XA3 and L3. Now the exact same thing has happened for the Xperia XA3 Ultra. Like the name implies, this is likely to launch alongside the XA3 as its bigger sibling. And it's definitely going to be large, sporting a 6.5-inch touchscreen with 1080x2160 resolution and 18:9 aspect ratio. The bezels are uncharacteristically small on all sides for a Sony handset, and that's refreshing to (finally) see, even if this will be nothing more than a mid-ranger. The XA3 Ultra is said to measure...

Analyst expects global tablet sales will keep declining, iPad won't be affected

Unsurprisingly for most, the tablet shipments will continue to fall each year, according Digitimes's market research. In 2019, the forecast is 141 million units sold while in 2021-2023, vendors will ship just around 120 million units. One of the biggest culprits is the ever-growing screen size of modern smartphones, which cannibalize the sales of small tablets. It's easy to find handsets with screens just shy of the 7" mark. The decline is expected to be by 2-3% per year. OEMs' current strategy will remain - low prices in attempt of battling the so-called white-box tablets. The...
