Design & Construction

The LG G3 has leaked in a lot of images already, with cases or without. From the looks of it, the body may employ a unibody aluminum finish to give it a premium feel (or just plastic with aluminum design). LG’s signature back buttons will still be making a show here, and beside the camera to the left, there is something that looks like a sensor with a yet to be known function. The competition is currently offering different hardware selections with fingerprint scanners, dual cameras, heart rate monitors and waterproofing, so it’s exciting to see what LG will pull off here.

Hardware specs

From the leaked specs to speculations itself, we may be looking at a 5.5-inch display with a resolution of 1440 x 2560, a quad-core Snapdragon 801 CPU, 3GB RAM, 32GB internal memory + micro SD card support and a 13+2 megapixel camera pair that has still not been discussed much. It is reported that it’s going to be the same sensor with the OnePlus One with OIS+, so we’ll have to see how that turns out. As for the battery, it is expected to pack the same capacity as the LG G Pro 2 at 3,200mAh.

That’s about it for the specs, and whether the hardware can support that crazy resolution is still questionable. Regardless, those are still top of the line specs, beating a lot of those already in the market.

Software

LG is also upping up their game when it comes to software if the rumors are correct. Based from the leaked screenshots, their UI looks cleaner and better with the new design. It looks like they will lessen the clutter.

The next version of Android still hasn’t been announced yet, so it’s definitely going to be 4.4 KitKat. In addition, a Google Now-like interface is rumored to be arriving in the form of Concierge. How that will come into play is still unknown.

On top of everything, LG seems like they’re pushing more software features with the G3 like the QuickWindow case again, now in circular design – and speaking of which, the LG G3 will most likely have support for their G Watch.

That’s about it for the LG G3. So far, we’re looking at a winner here if these are all to be believed. LG has the chance to pull off one amazing smartphone if they manage to get the features right. Check out their teaser below:

We will be in Singapore on the LG G3’s launch on the 28th so stay tuned!

First images of the LG G3 allegedly leak

LG still hasn’t outed the much awaited successor to the LG G2, and now, images of the LG G3 have allegedly leaked. The most recent details only emerged last month, and so far, we have a consistent spec list, a quick look at the UI and a hint that it will also come in gold as boxes have already leaked.

The images of the LG G3 come in both black and white, via notorious leaker @evleaks. It retains a lot of LG’s previous design characteristics such as the branding below the display and the iconic physical buttons on the back. However, it is still unclear to us if this is all inside a protective case and it is also unclear what the other parts of the phone serve as, such as the sensor parallel to the dual LED flash.

The LG G3 is expected to have a whopping 5.5-inch display with a resolution of 1440 x 2560. A quad-core Snapdragon 801 CPU is also in tow with 3GB RAM, 32GB internal memory + micro SD card slot, a 13+2 megapixel camera pair and Android 4.4 KitKat with LG’s new skin and the concierge function. The official launch dates and the pricing is still unknown, and we will be updating you with more information before and when it launches. Stay tuned!

LG G3 new UI and ‘Concierge’ function leaks

People have been excited as to what the new flagship smartphone from LG has in store for those big fans of the LG G2. Well according to a leak from Digital Trends which they claim is “from a trusted industry source,” there are major changes happening for the LG G3 and it looks good. There are even photos of the new UI to back up their claims.

The three following screenshots were reported to be from the upcoming LG G3 which should “show flatter and brighter icons, a revamped weather widget with built-in suggestions, a much cleaner looking notifications screen, and circular icons (a new trend)”.

In addition, there’s also the ‘Concierge’ feature that supposedly works similar to Google Now. It takes note of the things you do to collect information then it throws useful suggestions at the user based on the figures collected. The photo below shows a recommendation about bringing an umbrella most likely since the user usually walks home at this time of the day and the ‘Concierge’ has already picked up this fact.

So far, the rumors that surround the LG G3 don’t disappoint. It’s shaping up to be able to follow the success of the current award-winning LG G2.

LG G3 confirmed with 2K WQHD display, but 640 DPI?

Sony, Samsung, and HTC have all unveiled their frontrunners and all that’s left from the big Android manufacturers is LG. The South Korean company has already confirmed that the soon-to-be-released LG G3 will in fact come with 2K display, but a benchmark photo shows the display to have 640dpi which is a bit unbelievable.

The benchmarked smartphone above was reported 99.99% to be the LG G3, and it shows that the device will be running on Adreno 330 GPU side-by-side a Qualcomm processor so it’s just logical to assume it will be a Snapdragon 801. Partner those with its WQHD screen display and we have a flagship phone in our hands.

The thing that caught our attention, though, is that it has 640dpi which doesn’t makes sense if the device is 5.5 inches as expected. For a display to have 640dpi with 2560 x 1440 screen resolution, the screen size should be around 4.6 inches. Either this is a miscalculation or the display is really that small, but we’re going with the former on this one. For a 5.5-inch display, we’re looking at around 534 dots per inch.

For the arrival of the LG G3, release in June is still our best bet since a newer Snapdragon 805 processor is about to come in devices starting July.

Here’s a refreshed specs list that we could expect from the LG G3:

5.5-inch WQHD display @ 2560 x 1440 resolution
Snapdragon 801 quad-core processor
3GB RAM
32GB storage (expandable to 64GB via microSD)
13MP rear and 2.1MP front cameras
LTE/EVDO/IS2000
GPS, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth
Android 4.4.2 KitKat
