LG G3 likely to be launched on May 27

After **Samsung** and **HTC** , LG appears to be ready to pull the wraps off the G3 flagship smartphone. LG has started sending out invites to some international media for its upcoming event to be held across the world in six different cities on May 27 and May 28. According to TheVerge, LG will be hosting events in San Francisco, New York, and London on May 27, followed by Seoul, Singapore and Istanbul on the next day.

A look at the invite and one will notice a brushed aluminum finish, hinting at the premium material that the company has used.   Last month, rumours around the upcoming LG G3 started gathering pace. LG has **already confirmed** a 2K display , and we’ve also seen the leaked retail packaging that clearly hints at a **gold option** for the device.   If previous rumours are to be believed then the G3 could get a 5.5-inch display, which means the pixel density would go all the way up to 534ppi. This would be way higher than the Galaxy S5’s 432 ppi. However, despite the lack of the 2k display, the Galaxy S5 has received  accolades for the display performance , which is believed to be the best in its class by DisplayMate. Samsung is also rumoured to be working on a 2K Galaxy S5 variant.   LG’s 5.5-inch panel is reportedly the first ever Quad HD AH-IPS LCD display for smartphones, mere 1.21 mm thick with a 1.2 mm bezel. This also means the G3 could be the first mainstream Android device to feature a 2K display, unless some other company beats it to the punch.
