LG today announced two new handsets with the G4 branding: the G4 Stylus and the G4c. While the G4 Stylus is a budget phablet device from LG and comes with a stylus, the G4c is a smaller variant of the company’s flagship handset — the G4.
The G4 Stylus comes with a 5.7-inch 720p HD IPS display, while the G4c comes with a 5-inch display of the same resolution. Internally, both handsets are nearly the same and are powered by a 1.2GHz Snapdragon processor, sport 1GB RAM, 8GB internal storage and a microSD card slot. The G4 Stylus will also be available in 3G only variant in selected markets that will be powered by a 1.4GHz quad-core MediaTek processor.
“The G4 Stylus and G4c are perfect examples of what we mean by a premium smartphone experience without a premium price,” said Juno Cho, president and CEO of LG Electronics Mobile Communications Company. “We are committed to offering consumers in fast-growing markets LG devices that not only deliver performance, but also look good while doing so. Both the G4 Stylus and G4c will surpass customers’ expectations of what an LG phone should be.”
While the G4 Stylus comes with a 3,000mAh removable battery, the G4c is powered by a 2,540mAh removable battery. As its name suggests, the G4 Stylus also comes with a stylus along with features like Laser Auto Focus, Gesture Shot, Glance View and Knock Code. It also features a 13MP camera on the rear and a 5MP front shooter. The G4c skimps on some of these features and only comes with Gesture Shot, Glance View and Knock Code, along with an 8MP rear camera and a 5MP selfie shooter.
The G4 Stylus (a.k.a G Stylo in North America and Korea) will be available in Metallic Silver or Floral White colors, while the G4c will be available in Metallic Gray, Ceramic White and Shiny Gold. Both handsets will be available in key regions of the world “in the weeks to come.”
