LG has started sending out invitations to an event on October 1, which will be held in New York. The company is keeping quiet about what it will reveal on the day, just like it always does, but the invitation itself suggests the day will have a movie theme, given the clapper board and film reel background.

Just because LG’s keeping the details to itself, doesn’t mean we haven’t already been given a few clues as to what we’ll see on the day. We’re expecting two major smartphones from the company in the near future, if the current wave of rumors pan out.

The first is the device known as the V10, a big-screen companion to the G4 flagship Android phone, that will apparently have a 5.7-inch display, and some kind of second screen — perhaps to compete with Samsung’s Edge screen technology — along the top. It sounds intriguing, and a little bit strange, therefore we’re looking forward to seeing if this turns out to be real.

The V10 isn’t the only LG produced smartphone on the horizon. Rumors have been gathering for months about a new Nexus phone made by the company. Potentially a sequel to the very popular Nexus 5, the 2015 version may see the Nexus brand return to its roots — boasting a strong specification, a low price, and the very latest build of Android.

You can read all the rumors and news about the 2015 Nexus 5 from LG here, along with rumors about a Huawei-made device, plus everything we’ve heard about the V10 LG phone can be found here. Previously, a launch date of October 10 had been attached to the V10, which would fit well with an October 1 announcement.  There’s also the chance the event may be used to reveal new smartwatches.

We’ll bring you all the news from LG’s October 1 event on the day.

For the last three years, Apple has launched four new iPhones each fall: a regular model, the iPhone Plus, iPhone Pro, and iPhone Pro Max. A new report by CIRP reveals which model is the most popular. And you may be surprised by the answer.

Since the iPhone 14 series in 2022, the regular iPhone has consistently been Apple’s top-selling handset, and it’s not even close.

Future Android phones may come with another preinstalled Google app
The new Cardio Load and Readiness features in the Fitbit app.

If you have an Android phone, you know it comes with many preinstalled Google apps, such as Gmail, YouTube, and Google Maps. In future Android versions, another Google app might be automatically added to the mix.

As 9to5Google first noted, the Oppo Find X8 has Google’s Fitbit app preloaded on the device. It’s now part of Google’s Android app suite on that handset and replaces Google Fit. The site suggests, and probably rightly so, that more Android-based devices will also probably ship with Fitbit preinstalled in the future.

Where before, you were looking at great deals on cases for Apple's devices. Here, we're looking at cases for the iPad and AirPods.

The AirPod case, on the other hand, supports MagSafe charging but offers ultimate drop protection to your earbuds and their wireless charging case. Let's take a closer look.
