LG G2 to get G3 UI and Android L, G3 has a flaw and G Watch 2 will be round

Welcome to the LG news hour. Let me run through things super quick: LG is launching a couple new budget line devices at IFA, the L Fino and L Bello, they will also be launching a new smartwatch, the G Watch 2 or possibly G Watch R, for 'round', be careful plugging in your G3, you might crack the casing, the G2 is to get an updated UI by the end of the year and LG promises the G2 will get the Android L update into 2015.

That is a lot to digest. Let's break it down:

LG G3 will start its global domination this Friday

There is actually not much to say here, LG is rolling out their latest flagship device, the G3, to markets around the globe starting this Friday, that's June 27, 2014.

The 5.5-inch QHD device has been rocking it in South Korea and has many eagerly anticipating its release everywhere else. We think the G3 will be a great seller for LG, and a great device for users. At least, it will be a great device for those that can actually get their hands on it.

Flexible displays, they're cool and they could prevent cracked screens

Last week was a pretty big week for flexible displays. The SID 2014 conference gave out some awards and saw some great new ideas come to light, then the University of Akron popped onto our radar with a new transparent display technology of their own, which promises a lower cost and no more cracked screens!

Cracked, smashed and shattered displays have been a nuisance to many users. Requiring a costly and problematic repair, if repair is even possible, a severely cracked screen could be the end of a device. Users take precautions, like installing a rugged OtterBox case, but accidents still happen.
