Google’s second-generation Nexus 7 could be just weeks away with supply chain sources claiming it’ll launch in late July or early August.

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.
Sony’s working on a new flagship smartphone codenamed the “Honami,” and although the Japanese company has managed to keep the handset itself under wraps, it hasn’t been able to stop its software from leaking into the wild.

Sony has unveiled its new Xperia Z Ultra phablet at the Mobile Asia Expo in Shanghai this morning. The device boasts a large 6.4-inch display, the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 processor running at 2.2GHz, and 4G LTE connectivity.
