Pocketnow Weekly 288: Hopes for Razer Project Linda, crisis at LG Mobile

Published: Jan. 24, 2018, 11 a.m.

Razer has never brought a concept to CES 2018 that it then kicked onto the market with pizzazz — it's always one of those things that an engineer decided to play around with in their spare time which the company picks up for giggles. But there are hints that Project Linda, a smartphone-laptop hybrid, could come for real this year with another Razer Phone. We discuss the horrors of LG's mobile strategy during the very early part of this year and what happens next, plus more tech news on this episode of the Pocketnow Weekly!
