A recent report confirmed LG’s plans to launch new wearables powered by the webOS platform in early 2016, but it turns out the South Korean company has already unveiled one.
At CES 2015 in Las Vegas last week, LG showcased a new smartwatch that it has developed with the help of Audi, and it’s the first to shun Android Wear in favor of LG’s own software.

Samsung’s next-generation Galaxy S6 may be about a month away from its official unveiling, but the South Korean company is already showing it off at CES 2015 in Las Vegas, it has confirmed. Don’t expect to see any early glimpses of the handset, however, because only “select partners” get to look at it.

Even long-time SmartWatch fans were disappointed with the design of Sony’s latest wearable, which was made almost entirely out of silicone when it made its debut back in September. But Sony is fixing that with a new SmartWatch 3 variant made out of stainless steel — and it looks great.
By swapping the tacky plastic for a more premium bracelet and chassis, Sony has turned what was once one of the ugliest Android Wear watches on the market into one of the prettiest. The original model will continue to be available, but those who are willing to spend more can opt for the much-improved design.

Sharp is betting big on Google’s new Android TV platform by baking it into its latest 4K Ultra HD televisions.
Unveiled today at CES in Las Vegas, the sets boast displays up to 80 inches in size and flagship Sharp features like AquoMotion and AquoDimming, but as you might expect, they don’t come cheap.
