Posted on September 5, 2014 by Stephen Schenck

Our little game of catch-up-on-this-summer’s-new-phones continues at IFA in Berlin today, and following run-ins with models like the Samsung Galaxy Alpha, we continue to look for devices launched in the weeks and months leading up to the trade show, which we just haven’t had the chance to check out in person yet. LG’S G3 remains the company’s flagship Android, but in the time since it debuted, we’ve seen it joined by a few new family members. Back in July,

Samsung Galaxy Alpha vs LG G3 Beat: a total wipeout

Posted on August 13, 2014 by Rithvik Rao

In case you didn’t catch the announcement from South Korea earlier today, Samsung’s newest metal monster isn’t so much of a spec monster… but that doesn’t mean it can’t take on its competitors with stride. You already saw how it fared against the HTC One mini 2, so how about putting it up against the LG G3 ...

LG G3 Beat could come to America under a new name

Posted on August 8, 2014 by Stephen Schenck

Confused about all the LG G3 family members out there? We don’t blame you. Between the flagship itself, the Snapdragon 805 version, the G3 Beat, the G3 Stylus, and that new G3 A that came out of nowhere, it’s all a lot to wrap your head around. Unfortunately, it doesn’t seem like LG’s lineup is about to start embracing minimalism any time soon, as we pick up word today that not only may the G3 Beat be coming to a carrier in the US, but that it could get a new name as it does so.The G3 Beat,

LG reveals G3 Stylus in company’s own promo video

Posted on August 5, 2014 by Stephen Schenck

If you’re a big smartphone OEM, chances are that you’ve got a phablet as part of your lineup. Maybe you’re Samsung with the Galaxy Note, Sony with the Xperia Z Ultra, or Nokia with the Lumia 1520. But what’s LG’s entry? The Vu series initially felt like the company’s phablet effort, with the requisite stylus (even it it was capacitive), but in recent years the flagship G-phone itself has grown to the size where it nearly feels like a phablet (not to mention how Vu models have ...

LG G3 Beat vs Sony Xperia Z1 Compact: phones in totally different leagues

Posted on July 17, 2014 by Rithvik Rao

When it comes to small phones, Sony’s Xperia Z1 Compact has reined supreme for most of 2014, with no real competitors in sight. Now that there’s a new kid on the block, we decided to quickly compare the two through specs — so here is LG G3 Beat vs Sony Xperia Z1 Compact.This one’s pretty much a no-contest. It’s pretty ridiculous how the Z1 Compact is able to massacre the G3 Beat in almost every spec, and ...

New LG G3 Beat/S/Mini photos emerge from China

Posted on July 16, 2014 by Stephen Schenck

Feeling a little confused about the rumored LG G3 Mini? We don’t blame you, as there’s been a lot of talk of different specs, not to mention different names, surrounding the hardware. Late last month we saw an LG G3 Beat for China, a five-inch device that might have been pushing the limits of how large a “Mini” phone could be (but maybe that’s exactly why LG gave it a different name). Then just overnight we shared with you

Alleged user manual for LG G3 S leaked

Posted on July 16, 2014 by Rithvik Rao

It seems the new cool thing for OEMs to do is release a “mini” version of their flagship phones a couple months after the initial release. LG doesn’t look to be bucking the trend, as a German LG G3 S user manual has leaked, allegedly showing off a “mini” G3.This supposed G3 S has model number D722V, meaning this is a Vodafone phone. It runs a custom build of Android 4.4.x KitKat, meaning LG has sprinkled its own software goodies atop AOSP — it looks like some features, like the ability to take ...

Posted on July 9, 2014 by Stephen Schenck

LG sure seems interested in adding some new members to the LG G3 family, and just last week we saw some images of the G3 Beat for China. But was that five-inch handset the “G3 Mini” we’d been talking about, or a fully separate G3 spin-off?

Posted on July 2, 2014 by Rithvik Rao

Trademark applications are often a good indicator of what a company wants to name its upcoming products, and LG has just submitted applications for a handful of names. Most of these this time around (unlike last time) actually do make sense — we’re seeing familiar faces like the G3 Beat and LG applies for trademarks on G3 Lite, G3 Beat, and more appeared first on Pocketnow.
