Design and Display
The Stylus 2 boasts what LG calls a ‘unique design statement.’ It features metallic frame on the edges and a ‘Spin Hairline’ pattern on the rear panel. The phone is both slimmer and tighter than its predecessor at only 7.4 millimetres and 145 grams respectively.
LG Stylus 2 features a ‘Protruding Flat Display’ on the front. The device’s massive touchscreen measures 5.7 inches diagonally and has a resolution of 1,280 x 720 pixels.
This display is virtually the same as the one on LG G4 Stylus. While the LG Stylus 2 offers ample screen estate, the screen resolution leaves more to be desired.
Camera and Storage
The phablet packs an improved pair of snappers for more spectacular shots. On the rear is a 13-megapixel sensor, which has somewhat become the norm for midrange smartphones.
For selfies, you get an impressive 8-megapixel front-facing snapper. The LG Stylus 2 comes with 16 GB of onboard storage and can take microSD card for storage expansion.
Performance and OS
Under the hood, the LG Stylus 2 packs a quad-core processor clocked at 1.2 GHz, which means it will likely not deliver significantly better performance than its predecessor.
Slightly greater RAM capacity of 1.5 GB should at least ensure slightly better multitasking and responsiveness. The behemoth promises more pleasurable user experience with newest Android 6.0 Marshmallow being the operating system of choice.
Additional Features
The LG Stylus 2 comes with an improved pen having a Nano-coated tip for better accuracy, compared to the rubber-tipped offering for its predecessor.
The slim stylus has a Pen Pop feature that automatically pops up a menu when it is removed. A new Calligraphy Pen font allows you write on the display as if doing so with a fountain pen.
You can avoid misplacing the enhanced pen with a Pen Keeper feature, which notifies you on the screen if the stylus is detected moving away.
The massive handset will have juice provided to it by a large 3,000mAh battery, which some users will be pleased to learn is replaceable. It supports 4G LTE connectivity as well.
Pricing and Availability
LG Stylus 2 is not yet available in Nigeria. When available, you can buy it at leading online stores in the country. LG Stylus 2 Price in Nigeria is expected to range from N60,000 to N110,000 depending on your location in Nigeria.
