LG is pushing two versions of its G4 smartphone to cater to as wide a range of customers as possible.
The release of the G4 once again brought LG into the spotlight of premium handsets, as the device is considered to be the company's current flagship product offering high-end specs for its fans. However, some LG fans find the current price of the G4 too steep.
To keep their fans happy and to expand the market base to include customers in the middle price range, the Korea-based company has decided to come out with two mid-ranged specs of the G4.
First is the G4 Stylus. With a 5.7-inch display, this smartphone is slightly larger than the 5.5-inch original G4. Under the hood, the G4 Stylus has two versions, a quad-core LTE and an octa-core 3G, with 1 GB of RAM and 3,000 mAh removable battery. It comes in metallic silver and floral white, and as the name suggests, is equipped with a Rubberdium stylus.
The G4c, on the other hand, is the smaller cousin to the LG flagship. It sports a 5.0-inch HD IPS display and a quad-core processor, 1 GB of RAM, and expandable storage via microSD. It also has 2,540 mAh removable battery. The G4c is capable of LTE connectivity, along with Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.1, NFC, and USB 2.0.
The G4 Stylus and G4c models have 13 MP and 8 MP main cameras, respectively, with 5 MP on the front. The G4 Stylus shooters have the Laser Autofocus feature, while the G4c model comes equipped with proprietary LG camera options such as Glance View, Gesture Shot, and Knock Code.
No details are available on when the devices will come to the North American and European markets, although LG's official statement, posted on the LG Newsroom on May 19, says, "Both smartphones will begin shipping to retailers around the world in the next several weeks and throughout the month of May. Both exceptionally priced devices share many of the same high-end user experience features found in the LG G4."
The G4 Stylus is already currently available in South Korea.
