The LG Stylus series like the name suggests makes you of the vintage Stylus pen and can’t but help match the smartphone with the Samsung Galaxy Note series. The Stylus series, however, consist of the Stylus, Stylus Alpha and Stylus Plus arranged in the order of increasing specs. All three models also have a similar build and basically the same screen type size. Much of the difference comes in the camera and hardware section.

Design and Display
It is apparent the LG Q Stylus series is of a nice build that coincides with what we have in recently produced smartphones. While this is gradually becoming a thing even in less premium smartphones, the ergonomics on the smartphone is nice. The smartphone has a nice slender 18:9 aspect ratio with trimmed bezels and a relocated on screen bezels.
There is a large display on the phablet which only makes sense considering that you will be using a Stylus on the screen. By large, I am talking about a size of 6.2-inch which does not reflect much on the overall size of the smartphone because of the minimal bezels. There is the LED flash in between the camera and fingerprint sensor followed by the Q Stylus inscription and LG at the far bottom.
Battery and Camera
The LG Q Stylus has got a little over an average battery capacity on the smartphone sealed in. While it charges through a USB Type-C port, you also have the added advantage of quick charging feature. This makes the 3, 300mAh present in the smartphone reach full charge in no time.
For the lenses in place, the LG Stylus Alpha and Stylus Plus has a better camera compared to the LG Stylus smartphone. You have the 16MP camera on the rear while the other lesser version as the 13MP sensor. On the selfie front, there is an 8MP camera on the Alpha as well as Plus version and the other Stylus has a 5MP camera.
Hardware and Software
Information on the chipset on the smartphones, however, there is a strong indication that it is a Qualcomm type. The clock speed of the processor to be featured includes one at 1.5Ghz and the other at 1.8GHz respectively. The Stylus is will likely have the former and the other two the latter.
The better Stylus models being the Alpha and Plus versions get 4GB RAM and 64GB storage option while the 3GB RAM, 32GB built-in storage is reserved for the LG Q Stylus. You are the privileged to expand storage up to 512GB anything more than that will not be supported on the smartphone. There is the latest Os pre-installed with LG’s own tweaks to Android 8.1 Oreo.
LG Q Stylus Pricing and Availability
It is not yet on sale but it is most likely to cost less than the Samsung Galaxy Note and will take time to reach some location outside Europe and Asia.
