It seems to be like LG actually is not eager on ready for IFA to disclose a few of its new merchandise. Yesterday we detailed the announcement of the LG G3 Stylus, and in the present day LG is giving a sneak peak at its first smartwatch with a spherical face. It is referred to as the LG G Watch R, and as you might have guessed, the R tands for spherical.

At its core, the G Watch R is principally the identical system as the unique G Watch. It makes use of Qualcomm’s MSM8096 quad Cortex-A7 half operating at 1.2GHz, paired with an Adreno 305 and 512MB of RAM plus 4GB of NAND.

The actual modifications include the show and the construct. The unique G Watch has a sq. show and a primarily plastic construct. G Watch R sports activities a 1.three” plastic OLED (P-OLED) show that takes up one hundred% of the watch face. This contrasts with the but to be launched Moto 360 which has a 1.5″ rounded show however has a phase on the backside which is not a part of the usable show space. The show is surrounded by a stainless-steel bezel and body, and comes with a leather-based strap.
