LG to unveil ‘tier 1’ smartphones at Mobile World Congress in February
‘Various screen sizes’ to debut at next month’s expo.

The South Korean tech giant, which held its cards close to the chest at this week’s Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas and focussed only on its home electronics range, disclosed during its press conference that a number of high-end Android-powered kits will be showcased at MWC next month as it bids to meet the rising challenge of large screen mobiles.

LG Optimus G official

LG’s Senior VP of Marketing in the US, James Fisher, said: “At MWC next month, and throughout the year, we'll be bringing more tier one handsets, in various screen sizes.”

No doubt at least one of these will be a handset featuring a display in the region of five inches, to compete with fresh CES reveals, the Sony Xperia Z and the Huawei Ascend D2, as well as imminent flagship announcements from Samsung and HTC.

This is most likely to be the recently leaked Optimus G2, said to feature a 5.5-inch full HD (1080p) display with a 440 pixel density, a quad-core Snapdragon S4 processor and a 13-megapixel primary camera.

Stay tuned for more LG news and announcements in the weeks ahead.

First time messing with the droid a few questions:
What are the must have apps, is it safe to get apps outside the Google play store? How do you move apps individually and anything else I could benefit from
Knowing.
Think I got buyers remorse... :sad cam:

Viewsonic prepping 24-inch Android 4.1 display and 32-inch 4K monitor for later this year

Viewsonic was behind one of the stranger products we saw at Computex last June: a 22-inch display that ran a clean version of Android 4.0. The company has unveiled an updated version of the product here at CES — a 24-inch, 1080p touchscreen that runs Android 4.1 and includes USB ports for hooking up a keyboard and mouse. The internals have been upgraded to a Tegra 3 process, and it also has micro and mini HDMI ports for plugging in other machines. Viewsonic specifically noted that you could hook up a Windows 8 computer and take advantage of the operating system's built-in touch capabilities. The company even added a blank area to the screen that lets Windows 8 users activate the edge-swiping gestures that are so integral to the OS. The screen looks a bit better than the model we saw at Computex, but it's still not the most high-end screen out there — but if you need a touchscreen and want to play around with a giant Android 4.1 tablet on the side, this screen might be for you. It'll retail for $499 when it launches later this year.

The company also showed off its 4K prototype monitor which will be shipping near the end of the year. While the housing itself doesn't look like a final version, the 3,840 x 2,160, 16:9 panel itself was as sharp and clear as you'd hope to see, with solid viewing angles. The massive resolution should be a boon to professionals, much like LG's 30-inch 4K panel that we checked out earlier today. There's no word on what it'll cost or when exactly it'll be available.

Stretched out S3. Nothing special there.

Reasonably quality render job though.

I don't see the point in this flexible glass. OK cool you got it bending to an angle...what's my gain from this? That phone (with the curved glass) looks dumb to me Lol. I can see a slight curve for slightly more comfortable edge-swiping but what else?

Its just technology bro. Everything from here on is a reach but I don't care. I rather this flexible phone than another HTC rebrand device. Android is getting boring with the same old phones. We need a shake up

I guess with flexible screens, you see a lot more improvement in design in the future.
