Announced back in August, LG is finally releasing the LG G Watch R in the Philippines this December. Our source points to a possible launch date of December 1 but that’s still subject to when the BOC (Customs) will send them out of the ports.

This 2nd-generation smartwatch from LG succeeds the original G Watch (read our review here) which has a square face. The G Watch R has a rounded face with OLED display, thus the R suffix in the name.

LG G Watch R specs:
1.3-inch P-OLED Display @ 320×320 pixels
1.2GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 400
512MB RAM
4GB internal storage
9-Axis (Gyro/ Accelerometer/ Compass)
Barometer
photoplethysmography (PPG) sensor – to monitor heartbeat
Dust and Water Resistant (IP67)
410mAh battery
Android Wear OS

The original G Watch sold for US$229 in the US Play Store and also released in the Philippines a couple of months ago at Php8,990. We’re hoping the LG G Watch R will be sold at the same price point.

Announced back in June, the Huawei Honor 6 is expected to be released in the Philippines sometime in December just in time for the Christmas season.

a source, close to the Chinese company has shared that the Honor 6 will come in two variants — a dual-SIM, dual LTE with 3GB of RAM and 32GB of internal storage and another single-SIM variant with 2GB of RAM and 16GB of internal storage.

What’s being planned for Philippine release is the single-SIM 2GB/16GB variant with a target price point of about Php13,990 or Php14,990. However, there might be a chance that the dual-LTE, 3GB/32GB variant (similar to the Mate 7) will be released instead due to better positioning and demand.

Huawei’s own Kirin 920 chipset is a powerful one which can go head to head with either the Snapdragon 800 or Snapdragon 801 chip (based on Antutu scores of over 37,000 on initial tests).

There’s no stopping Xiaomi when it comes to power banks as it has announced its latest that packs a 5,000mAh capacity and a body that is just 9.9mm thick.

In comparison, Xiaomi’s current power bank offerings (5,200mAh and 10,400mAh) are 22mm thick. This new power bank is just 9.9mm thick but sports a lower capacity. Still, a welcome feature for those who don’t like the bulk of the older power banks.

The 5,000mAh Mi Power Bank has a price tag of 49 Yuan (almost Php360) and will be available in China on November 25.

Early this month, Xiaomi teased the 16,000mAh Mi Power Bank. It is also official with a price tag of 129 Yuan (almost Php950). Check out the unboxing video below.
