14 DAY TRIAL // We already know that LG G3 will be available in the United States through most carriers in the country, but we’re still in the dark regarding the exact release date of the flagship smartphone at some of these operators.
Not anymore though, as TmoNews reports that LG G3 will hit shelves at T-Mobile on July 16. The information was confirmed by sources familiar with T-Mobile’s plans, but we have yet to see an official announcement.
Verizon has already announced that it will launch the G3 on July 17, which means that T-Mobile customers will be able to get it one day earlier if the rumors are true.
LG has announced earlier this month that it will start the worldwide rollout of LG G3, one of the first smartphones to pack a fully quad HD display that supports 2560 x 1440 pixels resolution.
The United States seems to have become an important market for LG, as the company has confirmed that its flagship handset will be available from most major carriers around the country.
Aside from the amazing 5.5-inch display, the G3 comes with a brand new UI specifically designed by LG to offer an improved overall experience in comparison with other flagship smartphones.
Obviously, the new UI includes all LG’s innovative features like Knock Code, Quick Memo, QSlide, Guest Mode and a lot more. LG G3 ships with Android 4.4.2 KitKat operating system out of the box, so there’s no need to wait for this particular update, but you will have to wait for Android L that hasn’t been released yet.
Judging from the phone’s insides, the G3 is a beast. The smartphone comes with a powerful 2.5GHz quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 processor (sorry, no Snapdragon 805), an Adreno 330 graphics processing unit and 2GB or 3GB of RAM.
It also comes in two versions with either 16GB or 32GB of internal memory, but given the fact that the smartphone also packs microSD card slot for storage expansion (up to 128GB), there’s no downside to this.
Keep in mind that T-Mobile's version packs 2GB of RAM and 32GB of internal memory, but, as mentioned earlier, you can expand storage up to 128GB.
On the back, the LG G3 boasts an impressive 13-megapixel main camera that features Laser autofocus, OIS (optical image stabilizer), dual-LED flash and 4K video recording. There’s also a secondary 2.1-megapixel camera in the front that can capture full HD (1080p) videos.
Last but not least, LG G3 is powered by a high-capacity 3000 mAh battery, which should provide up to 565 hours of standby time or up to 19 hours of talk time (21 hours in 3G mode).
Update: The phablet has just went on pre-order at T-Mobile for $600 and the carrier confirmed the G3 will be available from July 16.
