LG G3 Stylus launches in select markets this week

LG today announced that its new G3 Stylus smartphone is launching in select markets starting this week. Brazil will be the first country to get the handset, followed by other Latin American countries, plus markets in Central Asia and the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS).

The G3 Stylus is as large as LG’s G3 flagship smartphone, but it’s definitely not a high-end device. Its features include a 5.5-inch display with 540 x 960 pixels and 200 ppi, 13 MP rear camera, quad-core processor clocked at 1.3 GHz, 1 GB of RAM, 8 GB of expandable internal memory, and a 3000 mAh battery. Of course, you also get a stylus pen that enables you to draw and take notes using LG’s QuickMemo+ app, or other third-party apps. The new handset runs Android 4.4 KitKat out of the box.
