First LG G3 S (G3 mini) images pop up in China
Just yesterday, a seemingly official user manual for the LG G3 S (G3 mini) leaked online, suggesting that the phone is right around the corner, and it didn't take long for the first set of images to crop up, as well.
Courtesy of China's telecommunications certification body, Tenaa (alike to the US FCC), the snaps don't paint an overly interesting picture, as the G3 S appears to be an exact copy of the G3 in terms of design. Not that this is surprising. In any case, what you're looking at is the China Mobile-bound version of the G3 S, and we're told that it'll be called the LG G3 Beat.
Looking closely, the G3 S, again, proves to be a miniaturized copy of its bigger sibling -- we still have a set of rear-placed keys and loudspeaker, and a novel infrared focus assist beam. The only difference we've spotted is the LED flash on board -- unlike the G3's two-tone LED lamp, the G3 S will have to make do with a single one.
For those who are wondering, the G3 S will most likely feature a 5-inch, 720 x 1280 pixel resolution screen, a Snapdragon 400 processor, 2GB of RAM, and an 8-megapixel rear shooter. According to specifications posted by Tenaa, the device measures in at 137.75 x 69.60 x 9.99 mm and weighs 134 grams. The G3 S, like the G3, will also run a skinned version of Android 4.4 KitKat, courtesy of LG. We expect the LG G3 S to be widely available, including in the States, though we don't yet know exactly when LG will take the veil off officially.
