In recent years, LG has announced new products ahead of major trade shows like MWC and IFA, and this year is no exception. The company on Monday teased its G4 Stylus follow-up, the 5.7-inch Stylus 2, about a week ahead of its MWC 2016 press event.
Thinner and lighter than its predecessor, the upcoming handset sports a 3,000mAh removable battery and MicroSD card slot, as well as a 13-megapixel rear camera and 8-megapixel front shooter. It also boasts 1.5GB of RAM, Android 6.0 Marshmallow, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth.
The accompanying stylus pen (from which the phablet gets its name) features a nano-coated tip for a more real feel and better accuracy. Remove the accessory from the stylus bay, and the phone toggles a popup menu with shortcuts to memo and scanner apps. LG's Pen Keeper also prevents the stylus from being misplaced via a pop-up notification on the screen.
"LG Stylus 2 provides both the big screen and premium note taking functions of a premium large phone, attractively priced like a mid-tier smartphone," CEO Juno Cho said in a statement.
LG is also bringing a new series of smartphones to MWC: The first two models in the X series—X cam and X screen (pictured)—will debut next week.
The X cam, as its name suggests, sports dual rear cameras: one 13 megapixels and one 5 megapixels; and comes with a front-facing 8-megapixel shooter. Users will also find 2GB of RAM and 16GB of internal storage, a 2,520mAh battery, LTE support, and Android 6.0 Marshmallow, in silver, white, gold, or pink gold.
LG, meanwhile, is expanding its always-on screen technology, now available in the X screen smartphone. Like the V10, a 1.76-inch second screen sits above the 4.93-inch main display, making it easy to access favorite apps, incoming phone calls, and music player controls. Also check the time, date, battery status, and other notifications without turning on the phone.
Available in black, white, or pink gold, the device also boasts a 13-megapixel rear camera, 8-megapixel front shooter, 2GB of RAM, 16GB of internal storage, 2,300mAh battery, and Android Marshmallow.
