Galaxy Camera 2

Samsung has officially announced the successor to last year’s incredibly popular Android-powered Galaxy Camera, aptly entitled the Galaxy Camera 2, just a few days before CES is scheduled to take place in Las Vegas.

EE has already announced that it will be the first U.K. carrier to begin selling the LG G Flex starting next month, but those who want to obtain the device unlocked, without a contract, can now pre-order one from retailer Expansys.

Lenovo

Lenovo has shared its CES announcements with us a few days early this year by unveiling four new relatively impressive Android-powered high-end smartphones — “the Lenovo Vibe Z, the Lenovo S930, the Lenovo S650 and the Lenovo A859.”
