If you’re a Samsung or LG fan and hoping that they will include 4K display on their smartphones in the future, well it’s not going to happen. And it’s not that they don’t know how to do that, but both of the big giants have decided to pass that...at least according to a Korean publication source. 

We don’t know if that’s true or not, since neither Samsung and LG officially stated that. But one of the reasons for adopting the 4K display for their smartphones is because the market for it seems too niche at the moment, and they would prefer to focus more on improvising the power draw and outdoor visibility of their current display lines (the 1440p panels).

Xiaomi CEO, Lei Jun has made a humble appearance in the company’s forums, announcing to the fans that the Xiaomi Mi 5 won’t be released so early next year.

Firstly, Mr. Kuo predicts that the iPad Air 3 will be released in the first half of 2016. It could be in March together with the new “iPhone 6c” and the second generation Apple Watch, this is kind of unusual for Apple to do so as they would usually release new Apple products around every September or October. Another odd thing is that he said the new iPad Air 3 will not adopt the 3D Touch because of production issues.
