LG may have stopped manufacturing smartphones, but it's still not completely unrelated to the business. In fact, reports from last week suggested that the company is in talks with Apple to sell iPhones in its stores. However, Samsung wants to have its phones sold in LG stores too.

On 5 April, LG officially announced that it would pull itself out of the smartphone business after years of declining sales. The company has decided not to make Android smartphones anymore but will continue to provide support for existing devices. Today, the news has come claiming that the Korean tech company is in talks with Apple about selling iPhone in its stores.

Last week, we reported that LG Electronics would quit the smartphone industry and it is now official. As posted in the company's newsroom, their mobile business unit will shut down and the decision was approved by its board of directors just earlier today.

Following up for 2020 this year, Digi showed off their 5G tech, Mobile Legends Bang Bang Professional League Season 5 teams got confirmed and GrabPay weighed in on their e-Tunai eWallet. There’s also a number of CES awards for LG and HONOR while MoUs got signed and more. Check it out below.

What's uppppp TechNaversss! NewBytes is back and it's gonna be our first 2019 edition! It's a bit late but we had a slow startup and now we are picking up some steam. There were plenty of things happening over the past three weeks, the most notable one would be the #10YearsChallenge "conspiracy theory", CES 2019 also happened over the week before, and many many smartphones were released such as Huawei's first Punch Fullview phone - Nova 4, the budget-friendly HONOR 10 Lite and HONOR Band 4 series, the magnetic slider Xiaomi Mi MIX 3, the rather late  Razer Phone 2 and finally, Samsung also announced the upcoming Galaxy S10 launching date in San Francisco, California. 

Ho ho ho, it's December already! There isn't much news to talk about over the past week, though, news are getting quieter by the days and all we got was just some rumours here and there about next year's smartphone. Well, okay, there are two products which look pretty cool - the DJI Osmo Pocket and Nubia Red Magic Mars gaming smartphone.
