Still waiting for an invite to purchase the OnePlus One? So are thousands of others — but come October, the device should be a great deal easier to get hold of. OnePlus has today confirmed that it is finally preparing to abandon its invite system altogether and introduce a more traditional pre-order system instead.

LG’s announcement for the incredibly attractive G Watch R this morning was missing one important nugget of information: its price tag. But the South Korean company accidentally revealed this little secret prematurely in a press release that was issued in Germany. As you may have already anticipated, it’s going to be one of the most expensive Android Wear devices to date.

We know Sony has a number of new smartphones — and possibly a new SmartWatch — up its sleeves for IFA next week, but could the Japanese electronics giant be preparing to launch a new tablet, too? Its latest teaser certainly suggests so, and unlike other Xperia slates, this one looks much more… Compact.

Meet LG’s answer to the Moto 360. It’s called the G Watch R, and unlike the original G Watch, it sports an attractive stainless steel design with a more traditional circular watch face, and an interchangeable leather strap. It’s set to get its official unveiling at IFA 2014 next week, but it seems LG just couldn’t keep it under wraps any longer.

The Asus ZenWatch will make its debut at IFA next month.

Asus today published a new teaser video for the ZenWatch, confirming the name of its first Android Wear smartwatch ahead of its IFA reveal next month. The 35-second clip also gives us a brief glimpse at its design, which includes plenty of metal.
