MWC 2015: What to Expect from LG
Earlier in CES 2015, LG showcased LG G Flex 2- A premium flagship smartphone, so we aren’t going to expect there will be another flagship release (rumored to be LG G4 ). Rather than a smartphone, this year at MWC event, LG is planning to launch LG Watch Urbane LTE. In IFA 2014, we’ve seen LG G watch R, so this might be a better upgraded version from LG in the wearable segments.
So from LG, there will be a wearable device which will unveil on March 1,2015 at MWC 2015.
