When terms like “4K” and “OLED” are used together with TVs, there is a good chance that one of the first things that comes to mind is how pricey these TVs will cost. Usually you wouldn’t be wrong, but there is some good news because LG has announced that they will be launching a limited-time offer for some of their 4K OLED TV models.
Goodbye CES 2019, this was Ubergizmo’s 14th CES! It was difficult to navigate the avalanche of new products and technologies announced there. Including the pre-show work, it took out a huge chunk of December and all of the Holidays, but the chips have fallen, and here are the best products and technologies we’ve seen at CES 2019, in no particular order!
If you’re the owner of either the LG G5 or LG V20, it might be time to start considering upgrading your phones to a newer model. This is because according to LG’s Security Bulletin (via XDA), it appears that both the LG G5 and LG V20 are no longer listed on the page. This means that neither handset will be receiving future Android security updates.
We expected that there would be several smart home related announcements at CES 2019, and LG sure has not disappointed us. The company has recently taken the wraps off the LG Styler Black Tinted Mirror Glass Door, which is basically a smart clothes storage system that will feature integration with Google Assistant.
Sound on Display technology could be a major trend this year if rumors are to be believed. The latest suggests that LG’s next flagship smartphone will feature this technology. Manufacturers are expected to adopt Sound on Display panels for their devices in the ever-expanding push to further enhance the screen real estate on their devices.
These days it seems like everything has a camera on it, but yet one gadget that has yet to truly embrace cameras are smartwatches. There aren’t too many smartwatches with cameras out there, but according to a patent discovered by LetsGoDigital, it seems that LG could be toying with the idea of such a device.
A lot of the so-called smart TVs in the market today aren’t necessarily “smart”. They do come with a ton of features like the ability to support apps, browse the web, and play games, but for the most part they’re still a TV at the end of the day. However LG wants to change that perception with its 2019 smart TVs.
Major smartphone manufacturers are due to launch their first 5G smartphones in 2019. LG is expected to make a similar announcement at the Mobile World Congress in February. It was previously believed that its first 5G handset might be launched as the LG G8. However, a new report claims that the device will be launched as a new series instead.
lg g7The LG G7 was released earlier this year, although unlike some other 2018 smartphones, it has yet to receive its Android 9.0 Pie update. However the good news is that LG G7 owners might not have to wait much longer because according to LG Korea (via GSMArena), it seems that the handset is set to receive its Android Pie update in the first quarter of 2019.
It goes without saying that come 2019, LG will be taking the wraps off their next-gen flagship smartphone. Now according to a tweet by the ever-reliable leakster Evan Blass, it seems that LG’s next flagship’s codename has been revealed to be “Alpha”. The tweet also referenced Samsung’s “Beyond” handset which is rumored to be the highest-end version of the Galaxy S10.
Every year at CES, there are certain product announcements that we have learnt are almost a given: TVs and speakers. For those shopping about for new speakers, LG has unveiled a bunch of new soundbars ahead of CES 2019, with these soundbars not only featuring Dolby Atmos technology, but also integration with Google Assistant.
