LG takes another stab at a penabled phablet with the G Stylo

With the probable renaissance of the digital pen, in part thanks to rumors of a certain iPad Pro, it seems that LG is willing to give another whack at a stylus-enabled smartphone. After the somewhat lackluster LG G3 Stylus, the Korean OEM is now coming up with a still disappointing LG G Stylo. While that might sound a bit too harsh for a new smartphone, especially considering it does improve on the G3 Stylus just a bit, it does fall short in others and is in no way fit to take on Samsung’s Galaxy Note line.

Let’s see what has changed, hardware-wise. The screen has definitely been improved, from qHD then to 720p HD now. Sadly that also resulted in an increase in display size, from 5.5 inches to 5.7. The new processor might seem like a downgrade if you only look at the numbers, but the key improvement here is that the Snapdragon 410 is a 64-bit processor. RAM, however, has been bumped up only by half, now at 1.5 GB. The new cameras are a strange mix. The rear shooter has been downgraded to 8 megapixels while the front one was upgraded to 5 megapixels. LG was, perhaps, more interested in pandering to selfies.
