The successor to the two-month old Android Wear device, the LG G Watch 2, is already cooking and it is said to be a great competitor to the alleged Apple smartwatch.

LG G Watch

According to Korea Times, the next-generation LG G Watch is a “serious game changer” wearable. LG is working to have a September announcement for the new smartwatch wherein the IFA 2014 will commence in Berlin. The report says the IFA fair might just be the venue for the showcase, not for consumers, but for its clients.

Details about the LG G Watch 2 is still limited. Rumors claim that it will feature an OLED display versus the IPS LCD of the current generation plus a Qualcomm processor.
