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.

LG’s new Watch Urbane 2nd Edition LTE, which first went on sale less than a month ago, is no more.

The device has been scrapped indefinitely due to an unspecified “hardware issue,” and a return looks highly unlikely at this point.

Google is finally making Android Wear compatible with smartwatches that have cellular connectivity, paving the way for a new breed of wearables that don’t require a smartphone for operation. The first device that fits that description is LG’s new Watch Urbane 2nd Edition LTE.

AT&T being generous? What?!

AT&T is increasing its data cap to 22GB for customers who are still grandfathered into unlimited data plans. This is more than four times the 5GB cap previously offered to LTE subscribers, and more than seven times the 3GB cap offered to 3G subscribers.

Verizon wants to deliver even faster data speeds.

Verizon has confirmed plans to begin testing the first super speedy 5G network in the U.S. next year. Its new service will have 50 times the throughput of existing 4G LTE networks, and Verizon is working with a number of partners, including Samsung, to accelerate its development.
