LG G3 UK release date confirmed for June 26


The LG G3 UK release date has been confirmed, with the latest flagship offering from the Korean manufacturer set to hit British retailers later this week.


Having been officially unveiled late last month, the QHD display hosting LG G3 will go on sale this Thursday, June 26.


Previously the Samsung Galaxy S5 and HTC One M8 rival had been pegged for a July 1 arrival, so this new, June 26 release date is sure to appease eager consumers.


Already available in the company’s native Korea, the LG G3 pairs a 5.5-inch 2560 x 1440p QHD display with a minimalist bezel which ensure the phone isn’t too big in the hand.


Early indications give us reason to be optimistic that G3 will be as successful globally as it has been in Korea,” Dr. Jong-seok Park, President and CEO of the LG Electronics Mobile Communications Company said in confirming the phone’s global launch plans.


“It’s quite an honour to be considered the new industry benchmark for premium smartphones but in the end, what really matters is how consumers feel about our latest flagship device because it was their feedback that helped us create G3.”


Ahead of the G3’s UK release, a number of networks and retailers have made the handset available for pre-order.


Three is one such retailer offering LG G3 pre-orders. The network is offering the handset for free when taken out on a £35 per month tariff which comes with all-you-can-eat data, 600 minutes and unlimited texts.


The LG G3 specs sheet sees a 13-megapixel, optical image stabilised camera paired with a 2.5GHz quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 processor and 2GB of RAM.
