LG today unveiled their flagship device the LG G3 at a Press Event in six cities across the globe.
The company says that the phone was built by “Learning from You”, and that “Simple is the new Smart”, so the phone was designed to bring the comfort of advanced technology in a user friendly device.
This is most notable in the User Interface which uses flat icons, and special apps such as Smart Keyboard (with Adjustable Keyboard Height, Adaptive Keyboard), Smart Notice (Note taking app), etc. The G3 boasts a build with a Metallic Skin and a Floating Arc Design. The Display is a 5.5″ Quad HD with a pixel density of 538 ppi. The phone uses Rear keys as with their previous devices.The device is powered by a 2.5 GHz Quad-Core Qualcomm Snapdragon™ 801 processor backed by 3 GB RAM.
The 13 Megapixel camera on the rear has a Laser Auto Focus and Advanced OIS+ (Optical Image Stabilizer), and has a Dual Flash. The phone’s sound quality is beefed up by the 1 Watt Speaker with Boost Amp. The device also incorporates the KnockON and Knock Code features we have seen from it’s predecessor.
