LG has today announced the new G2 mini, a slightly smaller version of its flagship G2 that is scheduled to get its official launch at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona next week. The handset sports a 4.7-inch qHD display — that’s half an inch smaller than the original G2’s — coupled with midrange specifications.

The upcoming Sony Xperia Z2 has appeared for the second time in an early hands-on video. While the initial two-minute clip focused on the handset’s new user interface, this 12-minute extensive preview showcases other software features as well as its physical design, leaving little uncovered ahead of the handset’s unveiling.

The Sony Xperia Tablet Z was widely popular around the globe for being one of the few high-end, waterproof tablets — despite a limited reach in only select markets around the world. So it’s no surprise that Sony is planning a new model, which is expected to offer the latest Snapdragon 800 processor and Android 4.4 KitKat.

While Sony Mobile’s high-end smartphones are making all the noise right now, we mustn’t forget that a large number of company’s earnings come from midrange devices. With that in mind, we have now come across a new midrange Sony handset courtesy of a leaked image on Twitter.

Sony Mobile has posted a press release on its blog announcing that it’s currently in the process of pushing out the much-anticipated Android 4.3 over-the-air update to the Xperia T, Xperia TX, Xperia V and Xperia SP. In terms of functionality, this upgrade brings the latest build of Jelly Bean, in addition to a multitude of stability improvements, bug fixes and some great Sony software features.
