New Delhi: The LG G4 Stylus is pitched at a buyer who wants it all but is not willing to spend ‘top dollar’ on LG’s impressive G4 flagship.

*The LG G4 Stylus is pitched at a buyer who wants it all but is not willing to spend ‘top dollar’ on LG’s impressive G4 flagship.

*LG opted to used the stylus as a value-add to the skimmed down version of it’s LG G3 flagship in 2014 and has done a redux in 2015.

*The LG G4 stylus looks a tad more expensive than its Rs 21,000 price tag.

*The G4 has an all-plastic back and a classy textured design (Our review unit was an elegant grey).

* LG is still not sold on unibody devices and there’s room for two Micro SIM slots and a Micro SD card under the cover.

*LG has added a Micro SD (16 GB) card and a flip cover to the box.

*The camera lens is flanked by a dual LED flash and a laser autofocus sensor on the top half of the back.

*The display is 720 x 1280 pixels / 258 PPI (Pixels per inch)

*LG manages an impressive 73.3% screen to body ratio with the 5.7-inch display though. The device’s 13MP shooter is par for the course.

* Lowlight photography was average while the 8MP front cam snaps decent selfies.

*The LG G4 stylus is powered by the Qualcomm MSM8916 Snapdragon 410 (1.2GHz Quad-core) processor with disappointingly just 1GB of RAM.

*The device clocked 21534 – slightly below the XIaomi MI2, on our AnTuTu benchmark test. The corresponding PC Mark (Work performance) score was 3129.

*There’s 16GB of onboard memory plus support for Micro SD cards up to 128GB.

*The device’s 3000 mAh battery is one of its big strengths.

*The Stylus the device’s main talking point, is nestled in the top right corner. Functionality-wise it is not a major step up from the stylus in its predecessor.
