New LG smartwatch coming to Verizon
LG apparently wants a bigger piece of the wearable devices market and plans to release a new smartwatch to get it. The company already has two such devices, namely the LG G Watch and the LG G Watch R, which was only unveiled earlier this month. Now, an FCC listing reveals that LG has a new smartwatch in the works with the model number VC100. Very few details are known at this point, but we’re positive that this is an electronic watch because the document reads “Smart Watch + CDMA.” An anonymous source claims that the device was spotted in Verizon’s database along with other LG devices so it’s pretty safe to assume that the carrier is going to sell it at some point.
We don’t know anything about its specs just yet, but we were able to find out its measurements thanks to the FFC document. LG VC100 measures 57.7 mm x 35.5 mm and has an elliptical shape. Interestingly enough, the company’s latest smartwatch – the LG G Watch R – is round and LG boasted quite a bit about this, even going as far as to mock the Moto 360 for not being completely circular. That being said, it seems like the company’s next model will be rather different as the elliptical shape suggests that the VC100 will have a rectangular display. It is also believed that the smartwatch will feature a built-in SIM card with CDMA network support. Aside from all of that, the device is pretty much a mystery for now.
Word on the street is that LG will launch the new wearable either in late 2014 or in early 2015. We’re unlikely to hear an official announcement any time soon, but leaks are bound to surface at some point. We’ll let you know as soon as we learn any new details.
The latest trailer for Sony Pictures Entertainment’s CGI film Resident Evil: Death Island, released July 25, features the outlandish action and melodrama that made the franchise a cult sensation.
This Resident Evil Avengers-esque team-up features Leon S. Kennedy, Jill Valentine, Chris Redfield, Claire Redfield, and Rebecca Chambers.
The T-Virus and killer whales take the gang to Alcatraz in San Francisco Bay, where a new nightmare awaits. In magnificent slow motion and with progressively heavier ordinance, the Dream Team will supposedly destroy zombies, Lickers, mutant orcas, and anything else foolish or nasty enough to stand in their path.
Sony’s PS5 firmware update is everyone’s favorite news story. It’s been a while, but don’t get too excited—this is just a minor one. No biggie.
PS5 system software 23.01-07.40.00 does what? Latest firmware patch notes:
- System software performance and stability increased.
- We improved screen messaging and usability.
That’s it! Sony’s definition of “some screens” is unclear, but perhaps it improves communications. PS5 messages weren’t a problem, though. The update is barely over 1GB, so updating your console won’t take long.
Excited for this PS5 update?
Want more classic Metal Gear Solid remakes on PS5? You’ll need to speak Konami’s language—dollar bills—to express your desire.
“Regarding remakes of previous games in the series other than Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater, we will listen to player demand and consider accordingly,” a Konami official told IGN.
Konami explained that “we chose Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater because it depicts the birth of Big Boss (Naked Snake), which is the starting point of the Metal Gear series.” Fans wishing it would last forever contributed.
Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater, yes? Maybe you’ll buy another disc to show Konami you’ll pay again?
