LG G3 likely to feature a pixel-busting 2K display

One of the consistent rumours about the Galaxy S5 that didn’t materialize was a 2560 x 14400 or a 2K display. Now, according to prolific tipster @evleaks, LG’s G3 could come equipped with a similar QHD display. The tweet shows a screenshot with model number D850, hinting that the G3 may come with a 2K display.

 If this piece of news turns out to be true then the G3 will be the first mainstream Android device to feature a 2K display, unless some other company beats it to the punch. The company is believed to be pushing for a June or July launch for the G3 to compete with high-end flagships from Samsung, HTC and others. Rumours circulating the web reveal that Samsung also plans a Galaxy S5 model with 2K display for sometime later this year. Not much is known about the G3's other specs yet, however given the recent trend, LG would likely include a fingerprint scanner for its next flagship. Though its flagship is planned for later this year, LG unveiled the G Pro 2 at the MWC this year. However, the G Pro 2 will be competing with the large screen phablets. At 5.9 inches, it is indeed one of the biggest on the market, competing with the likes of the Oppo N1 and the new voice tablets from HP. It comes powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 processor. Other specs include a 13-megapixel rear camera with optical image stabilization, 2.1-megapixel front-facing camera, 4K video recording with OIS,a 1-watt speaker system, “metal mesh” back cover, and 32GB internal storage with expandable storage. LG has also announced a 4G LTE version of the LG G2 for India.
