LG officially announces the disappointing G3 Stylus ahead of IFA 2014

LG officially announces what we originally thought was their definitive Galaxy Note competitor.





Around three weeks ago, VR-Zone discussed leaked information regarding two new LG G3 variants: the G3A and the G3 Stylus. Today, a few weeks before IFA 2014, LG has officially announced the G3 Stylus, and it is rather surprising.

Contrary to popular belief, the G3 Stylus is not the high-end Galaxy Note competitor we had in mind. Its specs can barely compete with budget offerings of today, even.

  • CPU: Unspecified 1.3GHz quad-core chip (likely Snapdragon 400)

  • RAM: 1GB

  • Storage: 8GB built-in with support for a microSD card

  • Display: 960 x 540 5.5″ display

  • Camera: 13MP / 1.3MP

  • OS: Android 4.4.2

  • Battery: 3,000mAh (removable)

  • Network: 3G


With the weak CPU, low RAM, and antiquated display tech, this is clearly targeted at developing markets.*If priced right (around the $150 mark), I*can see it doing relatively well. I would still strongly recommend people to go for the Moto G if they are on a budget.

LG will display*G3 Stylus on the show-floor at IFA 2014.*It will be launched in Brazil in September, followed by Asia, Ukraine, Turkmenistan, and the Middle East. Pricing will be announced in local markets later on.
