LG has announced its first official accessory for the G3, its upcoming flagship smartphone of 2014, which is expected to break cover next Tuesday, May 27. The add-on, dubbed the ‘QuickCircle’ case, is pretty similar to Samsung’s S-View case, giving users easy access to information whilst their device is locked and protected.

Having sold half a million Galaxy Gear smartwatches already this year, Samsung has claimed a whopping 71 percent of the global smartwatch market. The South Korean company’s wearables, often branded a “flop” by critics, are taking advantage of the lack of competition to gain an early lead over incoming rivals.
Time to upgrade your smartphone? You may want to hold onto your cash. At the end of the month, LG will unveil its new G3, and according to these leaked press shots, it’s going to be an absolute stunner. In fact, I’d even go as far as to say that its almost bezel-less design could give the HTC One M8 a run for its money.
If you’re a flagship smartphone buyer who hasn’t already adopted the Galaxy S5, the HTC One M8, or the Sony Xperia Z2, chances are you’re probably patiently awaiting the LG G3 instead. That’s the case for a lot of people, thanks to the success of last year’s G2.
Fortunately, that wait is nearly over. LG plans to announce its new flagship on May 27 in London, and to remind you what’s in store, the company today released a new teaser video that focuses on the handset’s design and impressive camera technology.
I couldn’t be more excited for the Android Wear platform, and indeed one of its first supporters, the G Watch from LG. Both of which look ready to revolutionize the smartwatch, which, until now, has been somewhat lacking and in dire need of improvement.
To remind us that the G Watch is well on its way, LG today released a new one-minute teaser trailer, which makes the wearable’s impressive feature-set its focus.
