Samsung has always been at the forefront in the phablet market, but from all indication the Korean company isn't showing any signs of slowing down anytime soon as it plans to increase its stake in that category even more in 2014.
a follow up on its recent quarterly earnings report, Hyunjoon Kim Samsung Executive Director stated on a conference call with reporters and analysts that the company focus is going to be more on its release of mobile phones with screens in the 5 to 6 inches range. an indication which seems that Samsung will also expand its Galaxy Grand and Galaxy Mega lines, not just the Galaxy Note phablets.
HE also mentioned that beyond focusing on just the physical dimensions of the phones, the company would be working on improvement on some of its key features such as S Pen functionality and Multi-Window.
While we’re used to Samsung releasing many new handsets through out the year, it seems we may be in for ones that will continue to stretch the boundaries of just how big is big enough when it comes to your phone.

We viewed a video of the LG G Flax and it's self healing panel and today a little more specs of this curvy phone has surfaced.
LG lunched the much-awaited G Flex smartphone in October this year. The Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean-based phablet is powered by a quad-core 2.26GHz Snapdragon 800 (MSM8974) processor, an Adreno 330 GPU, and 2GB of RAM. It features a 13-megapixel rear camera, and a 2.1-megapixel rear camera. The G Flex is backed by a 3,500mAh battery, weighs 177 grams, and is 7.9mm at its thinnest, while being 8.7mm at its thickest.
Some other design features to note are that the G Flex will have rear buttons similar to that on the LG G2, also on the back of the device will be a protective film that when scratched can repair itself within a couple of minutes. The G Flex will be available from some time in November in South Korea but it has not yet been revealed when it will be released into other countries. The LG G Flex is priced at 999,900 South Korean Won.
What are your thought about the LG G Flex and an is it worth buying? Let us know in the comments below.
LG just released a new phone LG G Flex, and i must say it's curved nature gives it uniqueness and style, but that's not all that this phone has got. One very slick feature is the G Flex’ self-healing back panel, which shrugs off damage like it was the skin on Wolverine’s knuckles.
In the video below, LG test lab subjects the LG G Flex and another phone to it's high-tech scuffing machine — a dastardly little device equipped with a wire brush. For the first run, the machine pressed down with a modest 500 grams of force, and after being brushed for a some seconds the machine is lifted and here comes the magical part.
How does the back cover of the G Flex heal itself? It’s infused with micro-encapsulated resins — similar to the iPhone case Nissan showed off last year. When a light scratch damages the surface, the resins from the surrounding area area released and fill in the newly-formed gap.
It won’t repair every scratch, however. Deeper gouges may not fully heal, and repeated damage to the same area will eventually leave battle scars.
You may have noticed that LG also appears to have lit the two panels differently. The G Flex isn’t under the same harsh spotlight as the other panel, which makes it a little more difficult to tell how much of the scuffing has actually been healed.
If you look closely at the flex test later on — when LG places 8, 16, and 32 kilogram weights on the back of the phone you can see what appears to be scuffing.
Still, the damage is minor… and it’s nowhere near as noticeable as it would be on a run-of-the-mill polycarbonate back. Smartphone owners that hate putting their precious gadgets into protective cases are going to appreciate LG’s use of an innovative material here. Who wouldn't be excited to see their phone recovering from a bit of everyday abuse — like keys and coins in a pocket or a brush with their psychotic cat’s claws?

Smartwatches are becoming the next big thing in the mobile market, and we have seen the likes of Samsung and Sony taking the lead in the production of this wearables, and different concept of what the much anticipated Apple smartwatch might look like,
Samsung galaxy note3 and gear
Sony smartwatch
But apparently, these company aren't the only ones with such plans as mobile phone giant Nokia has released its own smartwatch, the Lumia watch.
The Nokia Lumia smartwatch
The Nokia Lumia smartwatch comes abit different from other available smartwatches because they are very colourful much like the Lumia phones. From what we gathered, the Lumia watch will have an AMOLED display and runs a tweaked version of the Windows Phone platform as they're obviously designed to work with your Nokia Lumia handset or tablet. Users can view calls, messages, emails, facebook and twitter notifications, battery life and of course date and time. also there will be camera connection via Bluetooth and a great feature is it's ability to be used under water like the Lumia phones.
As we know Microsoft has recently purchased Nokia and this maybe the reason why the idea of smartwatch has arosed. What do you think about this beauty?
