LG launches Stylus 2, with 5.7-inch display, for Rs 19,500

LG electronics  today launched their latest smartphone, the Stylus 2, in India. The Stylus 2 will be available starting May 18, at Rs 19,500. LG had originally launched the Stylus 2  in South Korea, around the time MWC 2016 was taking place, at a local price of KRW 396,000 (approximately Rs 22,500).

The Stylus 2 features a 5.7-inch HD (1280x720) display with a 13MP CMOS rear camera and a 8MP front camera. It packs a 1.2GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon quad-core processor, coupled with 2GB RAM and Adreno 304 GPU. It has 16GB internal storage (expandable), and has dual SIM and 4G support. It’s powered by a 3000mAh battery and runs LGUI 5.0 on top of Android 6.0 Marshmallow.

But the real selling point for the phone is its fiber-tipped stylus, that the company says is thinner and more accurate than the original rubber tip. And the stylus has been thoroughly worked into the UI as well, with pop-up menus that appear when the stylus is clicked out, and a Pen Keeper notification, that tells you when the stylus storage bay is empty.

The LG Stylus 2 will be available in Brown and Titan colour variants, starting Wednesday, for Rs 19,500.
