LG launches Stylus 2 in India

NEW DELHI: The Indian arm of electronics giant LG has launched its latest smartphone, the LG Stylus2 in the country. This latest smartphone from the company was also showcased at the recently concluded Tech Show in Lucknow, UP.

The 5.7-inch handset shares many of the premium features available on LG’s flagship models and also includes a pen with a nano-coated tip for more accuracy compared to the previous rubber-tipped pen.

LG explained that the device features a set of proprietary functions developed specifically for the LG Stylus 2 to enhance the user experience such as Pen Pop, which toggles a popup menu when the stylus is removed to offer shortcuts to Pop Memo and Pop Scanner . Also new to LG Stylus2 is Pen Keeper, which prevents the stylus from being misplaced by displaying a popup message when the phone is detected as being in motion when the stylus bay is empty. Additionally, the phone features a new Calligraphy Pen font that allows one to write similar to a fountain pen with automatic improvement of one’s hand written impressions.

The 7.4mm-thin phone weighs 145gm, making LG Stylus 2 thinner and lighter. The handset delivers a unique design statement with the incorporation of a Protruded Flat Display in the front, Spin Hairline pattern on the back and metallic frames on all its edges. The LG Stylus 2 sports a hefty 3,000mAh removable battery and a SD card slot that can hold up to 2TB storage, to allow users to enjoy a variety of multimedia content on its large 5.7-inch screen.

Amit Gujral, Marketing Head – Mobiles, LG India said, “Continuing the successful start of ‘Make in India’ series smartphones, we now bring LG Stylus2 as our latest offering in the mid-range segment. It provides both big screen and premium note taking functions at a reasonable price. This Smartphone yet again proves our commitment towards our consumers in the country who are always on a look out for value for money propositions without any compromise on functionality and design. As continuous celebration of ‘Make in India’ program by LG, all LG Stylus2 buyers shall be given the LG Signature interactive smart cover, Free.” LG Stylus2 will be available in the Indian market from May 18, 2016 at a price of INR 19,500.
