Rumor: LG G4 to have stylus implementation

Last month, there was news regarding LG filing for a trademark application in the name of “G Pen” that aims stylus implementation for smartphones and tablets more easier. Now recent reports suggest that the company’s upcoming flagship the LG G4 would also come with a stylus implementation.

A Chinese website IT Home has reported that the Korean giant might implement stylus as a new feature for its upcoming LG G4 which we believe to be pitched against the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 with S Pen. Rumors also show the LG G4 to be having a 5.3inch Quad HD display with 1440×2560 pixel resolution which is one of the most peculiar feature in the existing LG G3. The device is said to be powered with a Snapdragon 810 chipset and would be running the Android 5.0 Lollipop on-board. Additionally it is also said to up the RAM memory with 4GB RAM and the primary camera to its back would be topped up to 20.7MP. The battery capacity of the device is supposed to be nearly 3500mAh.

However, there is no official word from the company still but we expect it to be released in the first half of 2015. This really seems to be an interesting idea of getting the stylus to its next flagship.
