LG Stylus 2 Plus
LG has announced the Stylus 2 Plus
phablet in Taiwan, though announced may be an overstatement. Had it not been
for a TENAA certification, the smartphone would have gone unnoticed for who
knows how long.
The Stylus 2 Plus is undoubtedly the
better phablet, compared to the already announced Stylus 2. Its 5.7-inch
display gets a proper FullHD resolution and the phone is powered by a more
powerful chipset, the Snapdragon 430. This means an octa-core 1.2 GHz Cortex-A53
CPU, versus half the number of cores in the Stylus 2. 3 GB of RAM and 32 GB of
storage round up the list of chief upgrades.
The Stylus 2 Plus also has the upper
hand in the imaging department, with a 16 MP primary camera. The 8 MP front
facing unit is the same as the one on the non-Plus, though.
Measuring 155 x 79.6 x 7.4 mm, the
Stylus 2 Plus weighs 146 grams. The battery inside it is a 3,000 mAh unit. The LG
Stylus 2 supports Cat. 4 LTE, has dual-SIM slots and boots Android 6.0
Marshmallow out of the box.
Priced at TWD 10,990 (US$ 340), the LG
Stylus 2 Plus will hit the stores in late June. Global availability remains to
be detailed.
