LG Brings the Stylus to the Midrange with Q Series

LG has unveiled a new phablet series, called LG Q Stylus, comprising of three models – Q Stylus, Q Stylus+, and Q Stylusα (let’s just call it Q Stylus Alpha).

These devices, as the names suggest, come with built-in styluses just like Samsung’s Galaxy Note series but have midrange internals and lower prices. All three devices have almost the same features, except camera and RAM/storage combos.

Let’s take a look,

Design & Display

Just like the features, the three Q Stylus variants have the same design with fairly trimmed bezels and a rear-mounted fingerprint scanner. The material finish is generic, and the rear camera sits right above the fingerprint sensor on the center just like most LG phones launched recently.

Only Q Stylus and Q Stylus+ are covered by IP68 water resistance. Of course, all three have their own styluses.

Display is quite large as it measures 6.2-inches diagonally and has an FHD+ (1080 x 2160) resolution. Aspect ratio is 18:9, and the same display panel has been used in all three variants.

Hardware & Storage

For now, the company has not disclosed the name and make of the SoC, but we do know that the series comes with either a 1.5 GHz or a 1.8 GHz octa-core processor. The three variants differ in RAM/storage combinations.

Stylus and Stylus Alpha get 3 GB RAM with 32 GB storage, while the Stylus+ has 4 GB RAM on top of 64 GB of storage.

Camera & Software

There is no dual camera set up, both Stylus and Stylus+ have a 16 MP primary rear camera along with an 8 MP selfie camera. The base variant, Stylus Alpha, has a 13 MP rear and 5 MP front shooter instead.

All three will come with Android 8.1 Oreo, with LG’s UX on top.

Battery, Price, & Availability

LG Q Stylus in multiple colors

Stylus Alpha, Stylus, and Stylus+ all have a 3300 mAh battery. Color options are Aurora Black (Stylus, Stylus+), Moroccan Blue (Stylus, Stylus+, Stylus Alpha), and Lavender Violet (Stylus+).
