LG’s mobile division has long refused to release tablets, focusing solely on smartphones. But time does not stand still. It was learned that the Korean company has registered several trademarks related, including mobile devices.

Interestingly, all the gadgets and services that are hidden under new brand names start with the letter “G”.

G Watch.

LG have a great chance to release a watch that will be most compatible with its own smartphones.

G Glass. It can be assumed that the Korean manufacturer is planning to release its own points of the computer, such as Google Glass (also a very promising direction.)

G Link. Under this brand is likely to be hiding a “cloud” service, a wireless “mirror” content from their mobile devices in the “cloud” storage, or something like that.

G Band. “Wearable” gadget for people involved in sports is associated with a smartphone (something like the Nike Fuelband).

G Hub. App Store LG, integrating all its gadgets, including TVs.
