LG debuts G3 Stylus ahead of IFA

LG isn’t waiting for IFA to drop a new version of its flagship device. The G3 Stylus can be seen as a Samsung Galaxy Note competitor but it seems to be a bit lower spec’d than Sammy’s offering. It comes with a Rubberdium stylus and is equipped with a 1.3GHz quad-core processor, 1GB of RAM, 8GB of internal storage (with microSD support), 13-megapixel rear camera, 1.3-megapixel front-facing shooter, and 3000mAh battery. Unfortunately, it looks like it doesn’t have LTE capability. It will be available next month in Brazil first with other regions to follow. No details on pricing yet but it will come in black, gold, and white.
