Motorola Launching a 6-Inch Phablet to Challenge iPhone 6

Motorola is reportedly working on a 6-inch phablet that could launch around the same time as Apple’s iPhone 6. The plus-sized smartphone was leaked by a source on the Chinese social media site Weibo, though the exact release date wasn’t mentioned. Also left out of the post was any information about the handset’s specs.
According to BGR, the phone, which would be Motorola’s first big-screen smartphone, will launch in the third quarter. This isn’t the first time we’ve heard that Motorola was working on a 6-inch handset. Back in January, a similar post on Weibo claimed that the company was developing a Moto X successor, as well as a phablet and a smartwatch.

We haven’t heard much about the Moto X successor. The smartwatch, however, turned out to be the recently announced Moto 360. That sleek, circular device is one of the first watches powered by Google’s new Android Wear platform.
Motorola Mobility, the company’s smartphone arm, has changed hands frequently as of late. After being purchased by Google, the handset maker was scooped up by Lenovo back in January. It’s unclear if the acquisition caused any delays in the company’s release schedule.
Apple’s iPhone 6 is expected to be announced this fall and will reportedly sport a more powerful quad-core processor and larger display. It’s unlikely, however, that the smartphone would feature a screen size anywhere close to the phablet range. Via: yahoo

LG Display’s work on flexible OLEDs has been underway for some time, though the company’s efforts have perhaps been overshadowed somewhat by rival Samsung’s YOUM development. Last year, according to a Korea Times report, LG Display was preparing for

Flexible displays are the Future of IT Industry! A part from 4k and smart home appliances, the CES 2013 saw a lot of attention being drawn towards bendable, flexible displays. The elasticised display idea isn’t something new as we have seen hoards of device concepts being crafted around flexible, bendable and even foldable displays. These concept devices give us a futuristic feel, be it a flexible phone to be worn around the wrist or a phone that opens up to turn into a tablet or PSP-like device. But how far is this future? Nokia has been toying with the idea ever since we remember. The technology sounds very fascinating and the possibilities and the extent to which bendable displays could be used are vast and leave us spellbound. However, these have always been concepts and we haven’t seen any device materialise in the real world. There have been several technologies that were conceived in these years and all have been put to their practical use. But the bendable d
