After rumors and speculations on the specifications of the new LG G3, the company has finally announced its latest flagship phone today.

The phone comes with an advanced 13MP camera with OIS+ and laser autofocus and 2.1MP front camera. The phone has a Quad HD display which is first of its kind on a main stream device (although Vivo Xplay 3S is the first Quad HD phone).
Apart from this, the phone also runs on a Snapdragon 801 processor which is also powering other Android flagship phones like the HTC One M8, Sony Xperia Z2 and also the Samsung Galaxy S5. The device comes with 2GB/3GB RAM based on the variant. There will also be 16GB or 32GB internal storage included in the device. The device will also come with a 3000mAh battery like LG G2.
