LG Stylo 3 – Features and Specifications

The LG Stylo 3 is a fraction of the cost of a Note 8 but comes with a stylus. It also has a removable battery that is able to last for a very long time. If you really require a phone with a stylus the LG Stylo 3 is the phone to go for. But it will not be able to provide high-end features.

It does not have the Notes 2 rear 12 megapixel cameras, water resistance or the proven snapdragon 835. The stylus that comes with this smartphone cannot perform software tricks like selecting text and creating animated images, but you can jot down memos, take notes, and doodle with the LG Stylo.

The battery is capable of lasting for 16.5 hours, which is very impressive. The Snapdragon 435 processor is not that powerful and can lag. You may need to wait while scrolling down on the web page or while launching apps and closing them.

The phone comes with a 13 MP camera which is good, but not great. Bright environment photos will look great while full resolution photos will look smudgy. Low light photos may also look blurry and will be accompanied by a notable amount of digital noise. As the processor is slow, pictures of moving object will also come out blurry.

The mobile may come with a load of bloatware. You may be able to uninstall some of them but not all of them. A fingerprint reader is present on the back of the phone and NFC cannot be used to perform Android Pay. You may be able to buy a stylus for any phone but you will not be able to store it in a convenient way inside the phone itself.
