LG

LG showed off a set that can be fitted almost flat against a wall while Samsung teased a new kind of TV - designed to look like a painting - that displays art when not in use.

Samsung also unveiled a flagship set boasting greater brightness levels than before.

Others, including Sony, also revealed new models.

Samsung's flagship 75in (190cm) QLED 4K TV features the latest version of its quantum dot technology - tiny particles that emit different colours of light. These now feature a metal material that the firm says allows for better colour reproduction.

A listing on Geekbench reveals that the G5 has a strong chance of becoming the ultimate Android smartphone, as one of its scores has the Samsung device outgunned.

The handset, which packs a Snapdragon 820 processor and 4GB of RAM, racked up a multi-core score of 5061, compared to the Galaxy S7's 4979.

However, Sammy's new flagship trumped its rival in the single-core stakes with its score of 2282 versus the G5's 2248.

Benchmarking test results don't always translate to real-world performance, but the scores certainly bode well for LG.

Are we really ready for smartwatches that don't require phones to function?

Reports suggest that the Android handset is upping its camera game with the inclusion of a Sony-made 20-megapixel sensor on the rear.

It also promises to be a powerful beast, with a Snapdragon 820 processor running the show, according to Mihai Matei of G for Games.

File this one under rumour for now, but Matei's sources have proven accurate in the past, bringing us solid information about Apple's hardware plans.

Previous reports suggest that the LG G5 will embrace recent developments in biometric security with the inclusion of iris-scanning technology.

That all seems to be changing now, as the company just recently announced a newer, larger addition to its G Pad line. Could this new device be a viable option for those looking for a high-end Android tablet, or will it fall short against other big devices from the competition? To help answer those questions, we go hands-on with the newly-announced LG G Pad 2 10.1.
