A recent report confirmed LG’s plans to launch new wearables powered by the webOS platform in early 2016, but it turns out the South Korean company has already unveiled one.

Cult_of_Mac_CES_2015 At CES 2015 in Las Vegas last week, LG showcased a new smartwatch that it has developed with the help of Audi, and it’s the first to shun Android Wear in favor of LG’s own software.

Samsung’s next-generation Galaxy S6 may be about a month away from its official unveiling, but the South Korean company is already showing it off at CES 2015 in Las Vegas, it has confirmed. Don’t expect to see any early glimpses of the handset, however, because only “select partners” get to look at it.

Motorola is making a comeback in China, and it has a trick up its sleeve that it is hoping will bring success in a market that’s obsessed with super-sized smartphones — a 6-inch Moto X with Quad HD display. The device is essentially a rebranded Nexus 6, and it’s joined by Motorola’s original 2014 Moto X and Moto G.

BlackBerry is at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas this week where it is showing off BBM on Android Wear. The Canadian company promises to take its messaging service’s most popular features and make them available on your wrist, so you can do more than just preview new messages.

LG may be building its own Android Wear smartwatches already, but that hasn’t stopped the South Korean company from developing new wearables powered by its own webOS platform. Sources familiar with its plans say we can expect to see the first of those devices in early 2016.
