LG G3 Stylus Announced
LG has officially announced the LG G3 Stylus, a variation of the LG G3 that offers an affordable alternative to the upcoming Samsung Galaxy Note 4.
The handset will feature a 5.5-inch qHD display with a resolution of 960×540 and will be powered by a 1.3GHz quad-core processor. The phone will also be accompanied by 1GB of RAM, 8GB of onboard storage expandable via microSD, a 13MP rear-facing camera, a 1.3MP front-facing camera, a 3,000mAh removable battery, and will come with Android 4.4.2 KitKat preinstalled.
Key features that make users enjoy more the G3 Stylus include:
■ QuickMemo+ combines Quickmemo, Memo and Notebook apps for simple content capture and sharing.
■ Dual Window divides the expansive screen into two separate windows for easy and effective multitasking.
■ Smart Keyboard intuitively adjusts to users’ typing patterns for faster input with fewer mistakes, reducing errors by up to 75 percent.
■ Touch & Shoot lets users simply touch anywhere on the display to focus and shoot, reducing a two-step process to just one.
■ Gesture Shot allows users to take easy selfies by simply opening and closing one’s hand in front of the lens to start a three-second countdown before the shutter is triggered.
■ Knock CodeTM unlocks the device in one easy step with a personalized “knock” pattern for both convenience and security.
LG will be displaying the device at IFA 2014 which is kicking off next week with more detailed information about its specifications and details about pricing.
