LG G3 on track to become LG’s first 10 million sales champion

Don’t call it a comeback, folks. OK, maybe you can. LG has come a long way since the days of the troubled Optimus line and their very early line of Android smartphones, but the LG G2 onward has proven that they are capable of refocusing and getting back to serious business. That fact is soon to be cemented by a major milestone that any company should be proud of.

The LG G3 is on track to become the South Korean company’s first smartphone to reach the 10 million sales mark. Behemoth Samsung has been able to boast those types of numbers numerous times in the past few years with their Note and Galaxy S lineup so it’s nice to see that the personal electronics industry in the country is no longer one-sided.

LG credits much of their success to a philosophy that has them going back to the bare basics in all things they do. Not only does this allow them to focus on good product design and value-added features, but it also helps their different divisions come together to perform as one well-oiled cohesive machine. If 10 million smartphone sales is the result of that change then we say keep on keepin’ on, LG. Let us know if you’re still enjoying your G3, and read our LG G3 review if you still aren’t sure what the hype is all about.

ASUS officially names upcoming Android Wear product ZenWatch in latest teaser [VIDEO]

In another teaser ASUS has uploaded to YouTube the company let slip the name of their first smart watch (which is rumored to be running Android Wear). The ASUS ZenWatch is what they’ve decided to bill it. That gives us high hopes of its quality being high if their ZenBook line is anything to go by.

We still don’t have a clue what to expect from ASUS with this launch, though the teasers show a device that clearly isn’t circular. That said, the squarish display looks to boast rounded corners so you’re sort of getting the best of both worlds.

There won’t be much to talk about on the software side of things if it’s running Android Wear as we already know all that has to offer, though it’ll be up to ASUS to convince us that their smart watch will stand out ahead of the rest of the herd. September 3rd is the date you’ll want to circle on your calendar if you want to make sure you don’t miss any of it. Watch the new teaser above.
