Nexus 5

Google has just launched the Nexus 5 and the Nexus 7 tablet in eight new countries of Europe, much to the joy of the fans in the region. People in Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, Ireland, Netherlands, Portugal and Sweden will now be able to pick up the premier Nexus devices directly from the local Play Store, thus avoiding the trouble of importing the smartphone from a neighboring country.

The iWatch hasn’t been announced. We haven’t seen any leaked hardware, but that’s not stopping every major tech company in the world from rushing out their smartwatch designs, including Motorola which just announced its beautiful answer to iWatch, the Moto 360.

Rather than utilizing a square display Motorola ambitiously decided to give the Moto 360 watch face a round display, which is trickier to manufacture and code for, but it looks gorgeous. Moto 360 is powered by Google Wear, features Google Now voice inputs, has built in support for Maps, Email, Texting and calls, plus it doubles as a pretty nice timepiece.

Here’s the Moto 360 teaser

Oppo N1

Chinese manufacturer Oppo is reportedly looking to launch a ‘mini’ variant of the popular N1 handset, which was well renowned for its rotating camera. This new smartphone will reportedly feature a 5 inch 1080p display in place of the 5.9 inch display, so it’s quite a lot smaller in size, but still nowhere near to being considered a mini device.

Android-Wear

Google today announced Android Wear, a new version of its popular mobile operating system that’s designed exclusively for wearables. The search giant says it is working with consumer electronics manufacturers, chipmakers, and fashion brands to bring the technology to life in “an ecosystem of watches in a variety of styles, shapes, and sizes.”
