In an event held at the Nest in BGC, LG Electronics announces the arrival of the LG G3 Stylus and the LG G3 Beat to the country. Featuring design cues from non other than their multi- award winning flagship LG G3, both devices hope to offer the G3 experience to Filipinos at a more affordable price.
The LG G3 Stylus and G3 Beat
The LG G3 Stylus features LG’s proprietary Rubberdium stylus pen and makes full use of it with the device’s 5.5 inch screen. Users can pair it with LG’s QuickMemo+ to take notes or draw directly on images or maps. The stylus is also compatible with a number of third-party handwriting and drawing apps.
The LG G3 Beat retains the best features and functions of the much loved G3 (you can check out our G3 review here), but in a more compact and handy package. The Beat comes with a largest-in-class 5.0-inch HD IPS display with a screen-to-body ratio of 74.1 percent, the highest in the mid-tier smartphone segment.
Both the G3 Beat and G3 Stylus’ 8MP and 13MP shooters, respectively, carry over the G3’s key camera features such as Touch & Shoot, Gesture Shot and Front Camera Light. Additional UX features that have become standard offerings across LG’s newest smartphones include Dual Window, Smart Keyboard and Knock CodeTM. Both also have the same Floating Arc design with gradually tapered edges, thin bezels and metallic skin back cover that was first seen on the LG G3. Both devices also sport their proprietary rear key.
