Samsung tipped to develop its own circular smartwatch

Looks like LG isn’t the only one following Motorola’s lead. According to a report from SamMobile, Samsung is planning on releasing its own take on the circular design for its smartwatches on an upcoming wearable device. There are hardly any details at the moment and it isn’t known if the device will run on Tizen or Android Wear. We are expected to see this new gadget a few months after the Galaxy Note 4 is released. We will keep you posted on any updates about this possible smartwatch.

Sony’s promo image shows two new possible devices

It’s that time of the year when leaks and teasers are starting to surface thanks to the upcoming IFA. This time around we have Sony, possibly intentionally, leaking two new devices they might be showing off at the show. The image above is from a Facebook promo page of the SmartBand. And while it doesn’t show the wearable device, what we see instead is what looks like the rumoured Xperia Z3 mini tablet (a new size for Sony’s tablet line) and possibly a new SmartWatch. It has been almost a year since the SmartWatch 2’s release so we won’t be surprised if new iteration if it shows up.

Leak of BlackBerry Passport’s full specs surface

Specs of the unusually-shaped BlackBerry device have surfaced online and before it was taken down, the internet has already managed to spread the word on the BlackBerry Passport. The device will reportedly debut next month and it will sport a 2.2GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 processor, Adreno 330 graphics, 3GB of LPDDR3 800MHz RAM, 32GB of internal storage, microSD card support of up to 64GB, and that unique 4.5-inch 1440x1440 display with Corning Gorilla Glass 3. It will also have a 13-megapixel rear shooter, and a 2-megapixel front-facing camera as well as 3450mAh battery. It looks to be no slouch but we’ll have to wait a few more weeks to see if any of these are actually true.

LG teases round revision of its Android Wear watch

After apparently realizing that some users might prefer a round smart watch over a plain jane square model like it's current G Watch, LG is apparently going to copy the direction of Motorola and ship a round Android Wear watch. A leak shows some highlights of the new LG G Watch R which is expected to break ground at IFA. Poking fun at the Moto 360, LG is promising a 'perfect circle' meaning that the the LG watch will really be round and not have a black bar at the bottom of the screen. Good news for people wanting some variety in Android Wear devices.
