MANILA, November 6, 2014 – On the heels of the successful launch of LG Electronics’ (LG) new flagship LG G3 smartphone, the global electronics innovator now excites the Philippines market with more affordable smartphones from its G3 series, the G3 Stylus and the G3 Beat.
These new LG Mobile offerings carry the best features of the company’s multi-awarded flagship smartphone, allowing Filipino consumers to have the G3 experience at a more affordable price.
The G3 Stylus
The G3 Stylus, LG’s new pen-enabled smartphone that inherits the core DNA of the acclaimed LG G3, brings a premium Stylus experience in a smart priced package.
LG’s proprietary RubberdiumTM stylus pen slides inside the G3 Stylus, which feels comfortable in any hand and complements the phone’s 5.5-inch large display. Pair it with LG’s QuickMemo+ to take notes or draw directly on images or maps in a breeze. The stylus is also compatible with a number of third-party handwriting and drawing apps.
Jay Won, vice president for LG Mobile Philippines, said, “By offering the stylus functionality and the same premium user experience and design heritage of the G3, we are confident that the G3 Stylus will satisfy customers who desire a spacious display and a stylus pen, and the same features well loved in the G3 – all for a very affordable price.”
The G3 Stylus will be offered in dual SIM with near field communication (NFC) capability in three colors: Black, White and Gold. LG’s newest stylus-powered device is priced at Php16,990, half that of a comparable premium smartphone with stylus pen, allowing consumers to enjoy a premium stylus experience at a more affordable price.
