The HP TouchPad, which runs on webOS 3.0, may have failed to gain market traction, but LG don't seem worried about it one bit as they still proceeded with the acquisition of the promising platform with plans of making it the bread and butter of their upcoming Smart TVs. As mentioned earlier, the South Korean manufacturer is looking to use webOS on their Smart TVs. According to Scott Ahn, President and Chief Technological Officer of LG, the company will still “continue to serve our Android fans with an extended lineup of Google TV.” It has been speculated that LG is planning to release their next generation Smart TVs which will run webOS in 2014. The question now is if the TV is going to be a standalone product or will it be accompanied by a smartphone and/or tablet just like what Apple and Google have done with their respective platforms. Firstly, Google is looking to bring its fresh Material 3 Expressive design philosophy from its smartphones/tablets to Android Auto. Users can expect refined fonts, more fluid animations, and wallpapers that sync with smartphone themes for a more cohesive "Android" feel. This will be the opposite of the more traditional Galaxy Z Fold8 that is slated to continue chasing after a more traditional smartphone footprint.
