LG Says G3 Arriving Before End Of June

Last week we got our first solid release date for the LG G3 in the UK, with retailer Carphone Warehouse confirming a July 1st release date. Today, the world reknown @evleaks could have gotten his hands on a US launch, with the phone making a brief appearance in a Verizon computer system.

The LG G3 is powered by a 3000mAh removable battery, and features wireless charging support enabled via its optional wireless charger. Other features of the LG G3 include a 1 watt speaker with Boost Amp; KnockON and Knoc Code; new smart notifications; a new slim 'Smart Keyboard' layout; new file management features; a minimalistic new user interface on top of Android, and six QuickCircle apps - call log, dialler, music player, messages, clock and shortcuts to settings.

No doubt you’re wondering if the G3 is running the latest version of Android (4.4 Kitkat) or the older Jelly Bean variant. It’d seem daft for LG to release a cutting edge handset with an old OS, so you’ll be relieved to know the G3 runs Kitkat out of the box (4.4.2 to be precise). And the G3 also seems to buck the trend set by Samsung by limiting the amount of extra software onboard. And given the size of the screen, there’s now a spilt-screen mode to enable users to run apps side by side.

Already, the LG G3 is a vast improvement over its predecessor, the LG G2 smartphone. Previously, the LG G2 was superior in many respects to Samsung's Galaxy series in regards to the display. Still, the LG G2 experienced annoying issues that varied depending on user experience. Users generally reported slow charging, lag or stuttering, GPS malfunction, or mobile connection errors. LG has supposedly ironed out most of these problems in the G3 mobile device.

The G2 is powered by a 2.26 GHz quad-core Snapdragon 800 processor with 2 GB of RAM and support for LTE or LTE Advanced networks where available. The G2 is equipped with a 5.2-inch 1080p IPS display ; to reduce the size of its screen bezel, wiring for touchscreen components is routed both above and below the screen itself. To help conserve battery life, the G2 also implements a panel self-refresh system; if the display is showing static content, it is refreshed solely from framebuffer memory (referred to as "graphics RAM"), allowing other display components (such as the GPU) to become idle. LG claimed that this system would allow the screen to use 26% less power than comparable displays on other smartphones.
