Will LG’s new Watch Urbane make a comeback? Photo: LG
After killing its new Watch Urbane 2nd Edition LTE just weeks after its launch, LG has confirmed that a faulty display component was to blame. The company added that it did not take the decision to pull the device lightly, but there’s still no word on whether or not it will be back.

Apple has taken a huge stand with the U.S. government, claiming they won’t – and can’t – remotely unlock encrypted devices running iOS 8 or higher. That’s the vast majority of devices.
Google takes the same sort of stand. Any document running Android 5.0 or higher has full disk encryption enabled by default, and therefore can’t be be remotely unlocked, even when ordered to do so by the federal government.
But Android also has a fragmentation problem, which means that most Android devices aren’t running Android 5.0 or higher. In fact, according to a new filing prepared by Google for the New York District Attorney’s Office, Google can remotely unlock at least 74% of Android devices.
Expandable storage is coming back to the Galaxy! Photo: iFixIt
One of the ways fans of Samsung’s Galaxy smartphones used to be able to claim superiority over the iPhone was expandable storage. The Galaxy line of smartphones had it, and the iPhone didn’t. But that all changed earlier this year, when the Galaxy S6 abandoned both expandable storage and a removable battery, causing outcries from many.
Looks like Samsung might be backpedaling though. A new report says the Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge will bring back the expandable storage.
