News & Reviews:   LG Electronics

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.
