This device is one that we’ve now got in our possession still, and we’ll be bringing you a review in full in just a few days time.

MWC 2013 Post-Mortem
Mobile World Congress 2013 scrambles to a close, a week of new phones and tablets, a shiny new venue, and more questions as to whether the days of the big trade show are numbered. It’s been a show where the divisions between the mobile upstarts and the current key players have been sharply defined, with ZTE, Huawei, and Nokia all pushing to corner the market, while Samsung and HTC were notable by their relative absence of announcements, favoring their own, standalone events.

LG Pocket Photo hands-on with Optimus G Pro
It's time to connect to a printer again, this time in a very miniature way with the LG Pocket Photo and the Optimus G Pro for good measure!

LG Wireless Ultra HD Transmission hands-on: quick as a whip!
This week we’ve had the opportunity to take a peek at – and play with – LG’s brand new Wireless Ultra HD Transmission technology – the world’s first! Of course such claims are a always a bit subjective, but from what we’ve experienced here, they’re not kidding around with this technology being mightily impressive. The demonstration came from Mobile World Congress 2013 where LG had an LG Optimus G connected (wirelessly) to a rather high definition LG television, playing a fabulous first-person game to show the instantaneousness of the transfer of information.
