The LG G3 Stylus is a device that retains the style cues of the flagship LG G3, while also including a Rubberdium stylus. The stylus can be used in conjunction with Quickmemo, Memo and Notebook apps to jot down notes and reminders.
The LG G3 Stylus is equipped with a 1.3 GHz quad core chip backed up by 1 GB of RAM. The device only offers 8 GB of on-board storage, but this can be easily expanded using the microSD card slot. The device's screen is sized at 5.5 inches and offers a resolution of 960 x 540, meaning 200 pixels per inch.
This device will be available in black, white and gold when it launches in Brazil next month, and will eventually be released in other emerging economy markets.
