14 DAY TRIAL // Next week, LG Electronics should unveil to the world its next Android-based flagship smartphone, in the form of LG G3, and some more info on the device is now available, including details on its pricing, and a brand-new QuickWindow mode.
Courtesy of Finnish retailer Kasuplan, we now know that the 16GB flavor of the LG G3 might arrive on the market with a price tag of €613 ($840) attached to it.
The retailer claims to be stocking the Gold variant of the handset and says that the 32GB version of the smartphone will sell for €659 (around $900).
However, this is not the only online store to claim to have info on the upcoming device’s pricing, as another retailer in Finland has also unveiled details on the matter.
We’re referring here to Multitronic, which claims to have the smartphone priced at €678 ($930) and €730 ($1000), respectively, as MobileGeeks has found out.
One thing that is certain, however, is the fact that the mobile phone appears to be a bit more expensive than initially thought, though these prices might be merely placeholders for the time being.
LG is set to make the G3 official on May 27, and exact info on its pricing will be unveiled at that time. Until then, take the above with a grain of salt.
In the meantime, you might want to know that the new handset is expected to arrive on the market with a special cover attached to it, one that will enable a brand-new QuickWindow mode on it.
The smartphone is expected to feature the Optimus UI loaded on top of Google’s Android 4.4 KitKat operating system, and the aforementioned functionality was designed to allow users to enjoy a new set of capabilities inside it.
The aforementioned QuickWindow mode will be enabled via special Quick Cover cases for LG G3, which will sport a circular window, allowing users to access a small portion of the screen without having to flip the case open.
There, info such as clock, weather, health data, SMS, and app notifications will be displayed, at least this is what a series of screenshots that have emerged online courtesy of @evleaks show.
For those out of the loop, we should note that LG G3 is said to sport a 5.5-inch Quad HD (1440 x 2560 pixels) screen, along with a 2.3GHz quad-core processor, and 3GB of RAM. It should also feature a 13-megapixel rear camera, as well as a 2MP front one.
