When it comes to mobile chips, Huawei is dead serious to design its own gear. And while we did see some of their devices being delayed because they used the current quad-core K3V2, that won’t stop the company from pursuing chip designs in the future. Quite the contrary, Huawei is already working on the successor, which will be unveiled at some point in the second half of this year. Dubbed HiSilicon K3V3, it will be based on the more powerful Cortex-A15 ARM architecture rather than Cortex-A9.

At CES 2013, LG Electronics didn't have a mere booth; it had its own little entertainment universe packed full of HDTVs, smartphones and more. One of the company's more popular attractions was its curved OLED panel. LG even "enhanced" the curvature of the display's form factor by lining three units side-by-side, thus creating a very wide arc. Clever.

If there are only three known truths in the universe, it's that (1) we must die, (2) we must pay taxes and (3) the PC platform will never die. But Panasonic is seemingly trying to prove the third truth wrong at CES 2013 in Las Vegas with a very interesting prototype: a 20-inch 4K tablet. If anything, it may kill off the AIOs, at least.

Sometimes, nothing gets tasks done quicker than having more than one display on the go. A multi-monitor setup means you can write a document on one screen while reading an important spec sheet on the other. I won't even get into the benefits of multi-screens in PC gaming.

Apple has acquired a reputation for being overly-aggressive in taking its competitors to court over patents (as demonstrated by this awesome video called “Apple Kills Star Trek”). In fact, it was just a few months ago that Apple took Samsung to court and won a whopping $1 billion dollars for supposed patent infringements.

Google TV, one of Google’s less popular products. But yet there are still many users of Google TV out there. Some of the more popular models are the Vizio Costar and the Hisense Pulse (just announced days ago). Now LG is showing off a few new Google TV models that will hit the market next year. Before, LG only had a 47-inch and a 55-inch Google TV model. Starting next year LG will have a 42-inch, 50-inch and a 60-inch model to choose from. These new Google TV’s are also ultra-thin and use the Motorola Droid Razr M’s idea of edge-to-edge display. As you can see from the image above, there’s almost nothing but screen there.

When it comes to storage, these days it seems like we can never have enough of it. We’re always wanting more storage in our phones and tablets, and we’re more than willing to pay for it as well. Something that is fast becoming the norm is the lack of microSD card slots on phones and tablets these days, not so much so on tablets but a lot of phones these days are shipping without expandable storage. This is fine as long as you have a phone with a lot of internal storage but, often these are hard to come by. Samsung has been leading the pack a little bit by bringing high-capacity versions of the Galaxy S III to market as well as including a microSD card slot, too.

The AFP news agency reports that Hitachi has discovered a way to store digital information on slivers of quartz glass. This data can seemingly exist forever, enduring extreme temperatures and hostile conditions without degrading... at least until the sun begins to die and expend to consume the earth, that is.

Yes, there are more than a handful of different smartphone gamepad controllers and accessories out there, but it's hard to deny that PowerA's MOGA Bluetooth Controller looks pretty darn good. With smartphones becoming more and more powerful and mobile gaming become more advanced, it certainly makes sense that accessory makers are rushing to create their own unique gamepad controllers.

By itself, the 55-inch MultiTaction display created by Finland's MultiTouch Ltd is already great.

Created by UK-based Engage Production, the monstrous installation measures in at approximately 32.5 ft x 9.8 ft.

It announced at the Samsung Mobile Solutions Forum 2012 the 128GB eMMC Pro, which is an “industry first”.

Thanks to emerging smartphone technology and the popularization of barcode scanner apps, QR codes can be found just about anywhere these days. While most codes make their way onto posters, packages or billboards, one family decided they could do a little better. And thus, the world's largest QR code was born, a massive 309,570 square foot piece of corn-field art.
