LG G3 presented (almost) officially

Published: 22.05.2014

It had to happen. The launch of LG G3 only in less than a week, but we already know about the phone almost everything. On the network there appeared pictures from an unofficial presentation for Korean commercial networks and operators. Someone could not keep a secret - but thanks to him we already know almost all the specification of the smartphone.

At once I note: the specification presented by us still cannot be considered as an official one and 100 percent certain. The reported data concerns the version for the Korean market, which may (but doesn't need to) be different from the model that appears in other countries. The slides displayed during the presentation reveal to us that LG G3 has a 5.5-inch display with a resolution of 1440x2560 pixels, which gives a very impressive density of 534 ppi.

The smartphone uses a Snapdragon 801 processor supported by 3 GB of RAM and 32 GB of ROM. There is no information on a microSD card slot, it was revealed, however, that the smartphone will debut with Android 4.4 KitKat on board. During the presentation it was also talked a lot about 1 Watt Booster AMP and a 13-megapixel camera, equipped with optical image stabilization and interesting ways to trigger the shutter – with voice or gestures. The phone also has a 2.1-megapixel front camera, Bluetooth 4.0 and NFC, as well as support for LTE and LTE- Advanced. There was also specified a battery capacity (3000 mAh) and housing dimensions: 146,3 x74,6x8,9 mm.

To be merrier, LG had already officially presented - on their side – a cover for G3. The cover is called QuickCircle and corresponds to the earlier leaks, in which we have seen examples of notifications that the smartphone will display with the assumed cover. QuickCircle has an original, circular cut-out on the front, which in addition to the presentation of notifications and allowing to control certain functions of the smartphone without opening the cover, will also work with third-party applications.

LG publishes a special SDK for potential developers of applications supporting the cover. It will be available in five colours and by the way it will support wireless charging function in G3.
