The G4 is the main highlight of LG's announcement last April 28, but actually another phone was announced and it was the G Stylo. If you can still remember, I posted some leaked live photos of the supposed to be G4 that sports a stylus and metallic design but it turned out that the said device is the G Stylo itself.
The G Stylo is bigger device sporting a display that is .2-inches wider than the G4. It's an IPS display with a resolution of 720x1280 pixels resulting into a very modest pixel density of 258ppi. Of course as the name suggested, it has an included stylus to interact with the display although I'm not sure if it is a pressure sensitive one.
Running inside the device is a Qualcomm MSM8916 Snapdragon 410 64-bit chipset coupled with 2GB of RAM. Internal storage wouldn't also be a problem because it has 16GB of available memory which, fortunately can be expanded via microSD card up to 128GB (Woah !)
Camera wise, it boasts a 13MP primary camera which amazingly has optical image stabilization and focusing is handled by a laser-emitting module like the G3. It is also partnered with an LED flash which can record 1080p videos @30FPS. For selfies, it has a 5MP front-facing snapper.
The G Stylo also sports some good set of connectivity options like 3G, WI-Fi and NFC. The fact that it runs on a Snapdragon 410 chipset means that it also supports LTE network.
To further explain the device, here are the full list of specifications :

Looking at the specs, I think the G Stylo is targeted for mid-to-high end smartphone market. So what do you think ?
We'll see if this would be a success. I hope LG would give it a pretty competitive price tag, maybe below 260 bucks ?
