LG-G-Pad-83

We’ve known for some time that LG’s been working on a new Android-powered tablet, and we had a feeling it might get its unveiling at IFA 2013 in Berlin next month. And now that looks increasingly likely after LG began teasing the new G Pad 8.3 on YouTube and the tablet’s first press shot was leaked online.

Sony Honami Z1

Sony Mobile has today published an official video showcasing its upcoming flagship handset, the Xperia Z1, revealing a stylish device similar to the original Xperia Z, accompanied by a Sony G Lens rear-facing shooter, a physical camera button as well as IP57 dust protection and waterproofing.
