Although the LG G3 naming has been confirmed, details on the handset’s specs remain clouded in mystery, with no details of size or functions having yet surfaced.

A true flagship product range, the LG G2 was the first handset to be powered by the current Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 processor, with the device lining up as a direct rival to the likes of the Samsung Galaxy S4 and iPhone 5S.


Running a stunning 5.2-inch, 1080p Full HD display in a near bezel-less design, the 8.9mm thick LG G2 saw its quad-core CPU paired with 2GB of RAM and Google’s Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean OS.
