In its press note, the company has revealed that the folder-style case will allow users to enjoy various features such as check the time, place calls, send text messages, take photos, listen to music or get an update of their health directly from the circular window, without ever having to open the cover. Take a look at the video below:The case will be available in five colours namely, Metallic black, Silk white, Shine gold, Aqua mint, and Indian pink. However, the company hasn’t disclosed the price or availability details. Recently, we' seen a dozen screenshots of what was earlier called the Quick Cover case showcasing how G3 users can perform select functions. The leaks shows how users can view date and time, weather and health data, answer or reject a call, track steps and more. This means, users can convenient answer or reject a call without opening the phone cover. Instead of the square window found in the G2, LG has opted for a circular design this time. It looks quite good, we must say. The company has already confirmed a 2K display, and we’ve also seen the leaked retail packaging that clearly hints at a gold option for the device. It’s 5.5-inch panel is believed to be the first ever Quad HD AH-IPS LCD display for smartphones, mere 1.21 mm thick with a 1.2 mm bezel. This also means the G3 could be the first mainstream Android device to feature a 2K display. In terms of specs, the LG G3 is expected to sport the Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 system-on-chip with a 2.5GHz processor on board, a 3000mAh battery and it is rumoured to sport a 13MP rear camera. G3 will most likely come with Android 4.4 out of the box.
