Looks like LG decided it was time to take the wraps off the LG G3 Stylus, and IÂ don’t mean just a stylus for your current G3. No, IÂ mean a totally new device. As the name would suggest, it does offer the wondrous stylus pen and carry the G3 flagship name scheme. Much like the LG G3 Beat though, this is just a spin-off device that packs a fairly excitable line of specs. It does look pretty though, minus those hideous on-screen nav keys. What’s up with the white LG? Clear I can do, even a solid black, but that solid white in the images is just atrocious.
As for specs:
- 1.3GHz quad-core processor ( no mention on which one in the press release.)
- 1GB RAM
- 8GB internal storage
- Micro SD slot
- 5.5-inch qHD display at 960 x 540
- 13MP rear camera
- 1.3MP front shooter
- 3,000 mAh battery (removable)
- Android 4.4.2
- Will be in Black, White and Gold
Another interesting bit of information from the press release also tosses out the network type as 3G. Seems like, at least right now, that this won’t really be looking like a device that will be headed stateside. It is possible that a 4G LTE variant could become a thing at a later date though. LG doesn’t offer much in the way of a price tag either, simply stating a “fairly-priced package.” The LG G3 Stylus will pack in a number of the same software features as its higher-end cousin tough. Features like Knock Code and dual-window along with Gesture Shot and QuickMemo+.
LG will have the device on hand at IFA next week and we are sure to see more of the device pop up online then.
I can understand the need to cover the various price points with a flagship branded device, but I still find it rather annoying. Especially with something like this. I was fully expecting a G3 with a pen stylus and few new apps designed for it with maybe a few tweaks to the hardware. It will do well for those that can’t spring for something a bit more pricey, like the upcoming Note 4, and should fare well for LG.
