Google has patched a major security vulnerability in the Android platform that allowed hackers to inject malicious code into trusted applications without changing their verification signature. It’s now up to hardware manufacturers to make the patch available to their own devices, and Samsung is believed to be one of the first that will start rolling it out.
The Sony SmartWatch 2, which was announced at the Mobile Asia Expo in Shanghai last month, was expected to go on sale in the United Kingdom on July 15 following an announcement from online retailer Clove.co.uk.
But it appears the announcement may have been incorrect. Clove has just issued an update to say that the SmartWatch 2 won’t be available until September instead.
LG has begun sending invitations to a press event in New York on Wednesday, August 7. The company is expected to unveil its much-anticipated Optimus G2 smartphone, which is likely to go up against the latest Android flagships with a 1080p display, and the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 processor.
A few months ago Samsung confirmed that it will be manufacturing a new Android smartwatch, rumored to be designed by Rolex, and now the South Korean company has applied for a trademark on the name “GEAR.”
The white, 16GB LG Nexus 4, which was introduced just over one month ago, is now sold out on Google Play and “no longer available for sale.” If you didn’t already get your hands on one, then you may have missed your chance, because the limited edition device will not be reappearing.
