 "LG Vu 3 announced; 5.2-inch display, Snapdragon 800 processor")
LG has now officially announced the Vu 3, the company’s latest addition to the Vu series. A series of leaks had hinted at quite a few of the smartphone’s specifications, but now we have gotten our hands on the official list of what all the device comes packing. Like its predecessors, the Vu 3 comes with an aspect ratio of 4:3.
The Vu 3 comes with a 5.2-inch HD+IPS display, a pixel resolution of 1280 x 960 and a pixel density of 307ppi. Internally, the smartphone runs on Android 4.2.2 (Jelly Bean) and is powered by a quad-core Snapdragon 800 SoC with four Krait 400 CPU cores and Adreno 330 GPU as well as 2GB of RAM. Photography-wise, the smartphone comes with a 13-megapixel rear camera with an LED flash packed in as well as a 2.1-megapixel front shooter. There is no word yet on whether the camera comes with image stabilisation, though.
The company has said that while the phone comes with a larger display, the size of the new model will be just 0.2 inches larger than its predecessors. LG has also packed in a Rubberdium stylus pen with the Vu 3. The Notebook feature in the new smartphone has also been tweaked, with different inputs like acrylic paint, charcoal and up to eight different drawing tool options now being supported. The Vu 3 has picked up a few things from the company’s earlier launch, the G2, with features like Knock On (waking up the device by double-tapping the screen), Guest Link and QLink (send notifications between the device and a tablet) also being seen.

The Vu 3 also comes with QuickView covers, which are translucent with the screen content shining through. This is a bit different from the covers seen for the LG G2 that feature a simple window. The new cover lets users pick from seven different themes and shows the time, date, currency, messages and notifications. The smartphone also supports LTE-Advanced with speeds of up to 150Mbps as well as TDMB support in Korea. There is still no word on the memory variant and the battery being offered in the Vu 3. The company has said that the Vu 3 will begin to roll out in Korea from September 27 through all major carriers. There is still no word on the price tag that that new smartphone will come sporting or when it will begin rolling out in other parts of the world.
Here’s a quick look at the specifications of the LG Vu 3:
- 5.2-inch HD+ IPS display with 1280 x 960 pixel resolution, 307 ppi pixel density, 4:3 aspect ratio
