LG recently unveiled the LG G Stylo (known as the LG G4 Stylus outside of North America and Korea), barely a month after revealing the LG G4. As the name suggests, this flagship will arrive with a Stylus to assist in writing and drawing on-screen. Will this smartphone have what it takes to compete with the likes of Samsung's Galaxy Note series? Find out what we know so far about the LG G Stylo price, release date, specs and features. 

LG G Stylo price and release date

The LG G Stylo price is currently set at 199.99 USD without a contract from Boost Mobile, and 289.92 for the same deal with T-Mobile. The LG G Stylo release date is set for June 7 for Sprint Prepaid and June 12 for Sprint, but it can be purchased from right now T-Mobile and Boost Mobile.

LG G Stylo design

The design of the LG G Stylo lies somewhere between that of the LG G4 and LG G3, and it comes in two colors: silver and white. It features a slightly bigger display than that of the LG G4 at 5.7 inches compared to 5.5 inches, and its corners are a little rounder.

LG G Stylo specs

The LG G Stylo is notable for its stylus, but at this point we don't have a clear understanding of what software LG has integrated (if any) to use in combination with it. The Galaxy Note series uses the Air Command submenu which houses a number of additional features compared to the standard TouchWiz software, but it appears that the LG Stylo might only use the stylus for the potential speed/accuracy benefits.

This isn't the first time LG has dabbled in creating a smartphone with a stylus, only last year it introduced the poorly received LG G3 Stylus, which we half-expected to be the last in the series. We hope the G Stylo has more to offer.

    According to GSMArena.com, and phonearena.com the phone was announced on April 29th, and released in May 1st, People on youtube have already reviewed it several times. I guess he was referring to the fact that it sounded like it was a brand new future phone.
    In addition both chipset and model numbers are already out as well, but it's not included in this article.

      Where was I misleading? Thanks for you comment but I don't understand. This is the LG G Stylo - how could it have been available since April 29? It didn't even get announced until May 19. :S

        update this plz. LG is a company to watch... Incidentally I'm quite pleased with mine. The stylus comes in handy in multiple ART programs! E.g.-Corel, Picsart, etc. And, of course, more advanced Programs.
        This is where the phablet versatility comes into play.
