LG G3 Stylus leaks out in official video, could be Note 4 competitor

After LG released the G3, it was obvious an LG G3 Pro was in the works. Following the great G2 Pro, G3 Pro is expected to be a great device, but according to the latest official video by LG, it seems the name might differ.

Counting on the Note 4 coming out on September 4, this device should be a direct competitor and therefore launch soon-after. According to rumors, the G3 Stylus will feature the 5.9' size of the G2 Pro, and perhaps offer QHD. In the picture it appears larger than the G3.

The stylus should offer some improved functionality, and in order to be a real Note 4 contestant, LG should add some original features to make use of it. Anyways, a stylus is always god to make use of such a large display, and we'll wait and see what LG brings to the table. Here's the official video (G3 Stylus appears in 2:45)

Since the original video was turned to 'private', a quick search in Youtube yielded this video from a different user. It is mainly for displaying the G3 Beat, and we think the G3 Stylus didn't make an 'accidental' appearance, but rather it was a planned marketing move. 

Stay tuned for more details regarding the device, as it should be coming out in the next couple of months.
