LG Stylus 3 - User Reviews

  • This phone died after 6 months. Worst choice ever.

  • I have the VirginMobile Stylus 3 (LS777) - no NFC on this one either.

  • i had the same problem with my doble sim version but... follow the last security update...the charge is going fast ....it takes just a little time to full battery..update your phone and tell me what´s going on..repply me..

  • Also, I noticed an error in the specifications page for this phone. It says the Stylus 3 has NFC, but mine doesn't. Maybe it's only available for the Boost Mobile version (LS777) and not the international unlocked version (M400xx)? If an admin can update that, it would be great. Thanks!

  • Owner of the M400DF version (32 GB, dual SIM). I've had this phone since 2017, and it's still going strong like when it was new. Plan on keeping it around for another 5 years or more. I'm also pleased that LG is continuing to support this phone with updates, even though it isn't a flagship. A lot of other phones don't get that love, and are EOL (end-of-life) the moment they leave the assembly line. Glad this one's an exception to the rule.

  • Use a fast charger. I have this model, it is a good phone but charge is slow.

  • Can anyone really tell me why this device, I.e. LG Stylus 3, or LGM400Y takes so long to charge? I know the battery is alleged to be 3200mAh, but it takes hours to charge. My Galaxy J4 only has a 3000mAh battery, which not only charges very quickly, but it lasts longer too. If anything bothers me about a smartphone it's battery life, and camera ability. Both my mom's LG, and my J4 have 13mp cameras, but the J4 wins again in clarity and detail. Come on LG, how could a camera be so poorly set up, and why does the battery perform so poorly. At the very least, a mid range phone should beat a budget phone, no?

  • Better heat and signal gsm

  • New update 400mb plus...i dont know what is this but say its for instability of the phone...wish is not

  • Im laughing at some of these bad reviews. My LS-777 is my favorite mid range smartphone I osn and also astest mid range cell from that period. It outperformed the J7 which was next in line. Its internal storage comes bloated with preinstalled crap but its expandable by 256gigs through SD card slot so no biggie. Someone said its impossible to root, i suggest that person do a bit more research before stating "facts". Rooting the device is complicated but possible. On to the phone! This phone is a poor. Pentesters dream come true! I run a terminal emulator with around 360 penetration testing tools that make most phones choke and die when they try and run them. LS-777 is a tank and never once has given me any issues like apples iphone or glaxy S series have. Its screen is tough and wont render the phone useless if shattered, it has a extra layer over the digitizer which allows the phone to still work. The built in finger0rint reader works great and reads even when dirty fingers are scanned. It also has a larger than normal battery that has good life and fast charge times. The processor is an octacore 1.4 so it allows the phone to perform some seriously taxing feats whithout stuttering or freezing up and its wifi reciever picks up further routers than any other phone I own (including apples iphone 8). The speaker is not as loud as the iphones but it is still not too bad of a component for the price. Its rear 13mp camera is not the best out there and lacks the crisp detailed clarity of the other smartphone cameras available today. The stylus is a good touch and it has a pop memo that pops up when the stylus is ejected for use. It also alerts you when youve left the stylus out so you dont forget it somewhere. This phone is better than the J7 and while not comparable to top of the line phones, its certainly a viable alternative to those with not much money to spend 8/10

  • When I use data .. my facebook dont work .. give me a white work.. and I cant upload picture on messenger, meanwhile all other apps work as well as they can

  • No updates. But still bootloader is locked. Shit

  • No,it is lofi

  • This phone isn't the fastest, lightest, newest or most flashy. But it is an excellent device for the cost. Currently going for $100 in some places. When you consider all of the features and specs, it's mind-blowing that it's priced so low. If you like doing graphic edits or art on your phone, the stylus will become a feature you don't know how you ever lived without. Screen is big enough to comfortably game or watch videos/tv... Even has a radio tuner and fingerprint lock. Literally my favorite phone I ever had.

  • Had mine for 9 months and am fed up to the back teeth with it. The 16 gb internal is mostly full before you turn it on and there are many restrictions about what you can move over to an SD card. No option to format SD cards as internal memory, no fastboot mode and so far at least, impossible to root making this phone a constant frustration and a weekly grind of freeing up space. Really regret getting it.

  • Looks like LG abandoned this device already without giving a single OS Upgrade. Not even to 7.1.1. Stuck on 7.0 forever.

  • I was about to fix a screen guard but it appears the phone comes with its own pre-installed screen protector. I see what appears to be an already fixed screen protection layer. Does it come with a pre-installed screen guard?

  • I have this phone for about 4 months now for Europe. I took it to Africa but can't use it due to decoding problems. I have been told that it's software for decoding is not yet out. I need your help pls Thanks

  • nah, i dont like IOS ...

  • you will be better of with an iPhone...

  • Yes. The LG Stylus 3 has Notification light. Only red, though. Cheers, lad.

  • Hi brother would you please tell me, is Lg stylus 3 has notification light or not

  • No .you can't notice

  • for sure i wont buy an lg phone again, the experience wasnt that bad but not that good either, i think i'll get myself a pixel.

  • I've had 3 of these in 4 months. Wont charge. Did an update n it charged again for 2 weeks. Having charging issues again. I had a style for 3 years n it was great. This model is awful. Like bad cars, once burned by poor quality, never again. Carrier wants to sell me an iPhone n charge me for this junk.

  • I have had this phone for little under a year now. The only reason I got this was because the Samsung Note 3 is no longer available, the 7 blew up and the 8 was not yet on the market and I rely on having a pen. Just a thought LG, next time get someone to test your product properly before releasing it to the public. The pen is one of the worst ones I have ever had even though you claim it to be the best. I guess you saw gap in the market and just decided stuff what people think about it afterwards, at least we already have their money. The most positive thing I can say about it is that the camera is not to bad.

  • How come that LG did'nt update this device to Oreo? While the Q6 got oreo update already. Its Unfair LG.

  • LG is known to only support their FLAGSHIP products, and give them only ONE OS Upgrade. I highly doubt LG will release Oreo to the Stylus 3. I don't even think that they are working on it. When you successfully sell your Stylus 3, avoid buying mobile devices from LG. -yours truly, an Ex LG Fan

  • Will this phone ever get Oreo? I'm about to sell it tho

  • Hi friends...now I am in Soudi Arabia. I buy lg stylus 3 10 days ago on souq.com. I got 50 percent discount. (455 sr) may 7000 rs. Lg stylus 3 first look good. Good design. Good touch experience. Lovely phone....

  • The camera is not saving images to sd card. Cannot copy paste or delete anything from sd card.

  • After installing the update, the only noticeable change is the Android Security Patch. Apr 1, 2018.

  • Update just released. Version: Vlog-Apr-26-2018 Phone usability and functionality has been improved. Still Nougat 7.0, though. Such a let-down from LG.

  • Great review. Overall the LG stylus 3 is a great phone

  • What is the solution to the voice call problem in lg stylus 3

  • My phone tis the stylus 3 it does not vibrate unless i turn the sound off to vibrate only mode when i turn the volume back on the vibrate tis off again...

  • Settings -> (Device) Pen -> Open when pen is removed

  • Android Nougat 7.0 is the latest Software wit November 2017 Security Patch. Unless you have something later than that, do not bash. tl;dr There is NO update. LG is not the to-go OEM when it comes to updates.

  • I like this phone. I particularly like that the battery is replaceable and that it has a SD card slot. It is a much better phone than the problem-plagued Nexus 6P that I previously had.

  • There is a update i already updated my lg phone, check your wifi maybe you have no net..

  • The stylus is more useful than i expected. I easy made powerpoints presentatipn using my phone

  • I have this phone for more than a year and its working just fine. No lags, the camera in hdr mode is more than what I can ask for a phone with a 15K price tag. Plus the stylus pen is one of a kind.

  • It has otg

  • Update your software!? Hahahahaha! There are no updates. LoL I give up on LG, and their phones without any software updates.

  • I have had this phone for over a year now. Brilliant device for the price..the people in this forum fail to realise the value for money you get in terms of how much phone you get for how much you pay. You just have to keep updating the software and it will work like a dream. Also go to developer options and reduce animation scales it will increase the processor speed by alot. Great phone keep it up LG....

  • when i remove the stylus, i cant see POP LENS. Where can i add it?

  • Any others having problems with antenna disconnecting and phone overheating? I've had the phone for a mere week. I'm listening to online radio today at a fixed location, suddenly gets choppy and stops working. Email won't refresh either. Then the phone becomes non-responsive, the power button feels hot. I reset the antenna under the mobile options, fixing the problem for a second. Problem repeats itself, with longer non-response time. Maybe I'll just go with the cheaper & comparable LG Escape 3 instead. I hear it's more stable, has just the 4 processors.

  • Lg stylus 3 is hifi?

  • Regarding your phone contacts being saved to Google without your permission, it is possible to disable that (not sure how to get rid of the ones already saved however). Go to Settings > Apps > Configure Apps (from the menu button on the top right corner) > App Permissions > Contacts. Toggle the switch off for all apps except those you want to be able to access that data. Repeat that for the Phone and SMS permissions as well. In addition, when creating new contacts, be sure to save them to Phone or SIM Card, not Google. Furthermore, it is possible to disable all vibrations, but only by activating Do Not Disturb from Notifications in your phone's settings, and selecting 'Total Silence'. Not an elegant solution, but works if you can live with not getting any notifications.

  • Is it only my unit or others as well? There is no nfc and can not read usb flashdrive.

  • Is it only my unit or others as well? There is no nfc and can not read usb flashdrive.

  • Chrome is eating your battery life, even if Chrome is disabled??? Ha-ha-ha... (-_-)

  • Sounds like a security lock is in place, either finger print or Pin code etc, which needs activating

  • Review of LG Stylus 3 which I purchased for these reasons: 1. A large removable battery. 2. A dedicated LED notification light. 3. Allows contacts to be saved to SIM/Phone Memory (unlike Moto G5 which forces you to store contacts to Gmail only). 4. A 3.5mm headphone jack. If any of these things had been missing I wouldn't have purchased it. ***PROS*** Removable battery Dedicated LED notification light Good call quality & speaker sound Decent screen resolution Double tap for screen off/unlock Automatically turns screen off when holding phone to ear for calls and turns it back on again when call is finished Easy double-tap feature for taking screenshots Good camera quality Lightweight Fast and responsive Minimum bloatware Decent gallery app provided for media Decent battery life (but compromised by Google Chrome which drains a lot of power) ***CONS*** Washed out colours (blue biased). Eg. purples look blue etc. Reds are less vibrant. No universal 'Vibration-Off' function (some apps and functions still vibrate, which I hate) The LED notification light is only one colour. My previous phone offered different colours: blue for email, yellow for SMS, green for fully charged, purple for Viber etc. Google uploaded my phone contacts without my permission. It's difficult to find genuine LG replacement batteries and accessories. Narrow viewing angles No fast charging It's too thin. I prefer a thicker phone that's easier to pick up Microphone is in an awkward place, where my little finger rests whilst taking calls so I often cover the microphone with my finger by mistake. Conclusion... I'm a little disappointed with the display which looks slightly dull and cool compared with AMOLED displays but this seems to be a trait of most IPS LCD displays. The resolution could be sharper too but it's still decent enough. This is the only phone I could find with both a removable battery and an LED notification light. The stylus feature doesn't interest me. The LG Stylus 3 offers excellent value for money and I would award it 8/10.

  • I've just bought this phone and I'm very disappointed and angry for two reasons... Firstly, there is no option to switch off ALL vibration and haptic feedback. I HATE vibration... It's like holding a big, buzzing moth in your hand. Some apps vibrate and some don't. Even with vibration options switched off in the menus it still vibrates. This is very annoying LG. Secondly Google Chrome is EATING UP THE BATTERY LIFE! It makes no difference if Chrome is 'Disabled' and/or 'Force Stop' is used - you totally ignore my wishes. When I check the battery five minutes later Chrome is back and running again, draining battery life like a parasite. I hope everyone reads this. I award this phone 2 stars out of 10. I am very angry LG.

  • Yes. this is very irritating. when asking from the phone shop owner, said that is normal for stylus 2 and 3. no any permanent solution. something wrong in the screen itself. LG should do something

  • Has anyone had issues with the pictures. I just purchase the phone Monday. I hate the pictures.

  • Nope. Just you. Have you voided warranty? If not, you know what to do.

  • Has anyone had any problems with their stylus 3 regarding the headset jack..everytime i plug my earphones only 1 side works..and ive tried several earphones and tried it on other phone works fine..its still repair now for 2 months

  • Ya....I too have the same when pasting tempeted glass..but its not a problem.the air spaces are due to the slight curved shape of the phone.

  • Great phone, stylus works beautiful, well worth the buy

  • Hi, I have the same problem. especially when I am charging in a car. But when I charge my phone at the home outlet, it does not happen that way.

  • Hi guys I have a LG stylus3 for 4 month Every time i install a tempered glass on it It gets air on top and down of screen Had you ever the same problem????

  • Try Open Camera. Search for it in the play store.

  • Hi guys... I have a Question please help me my lg stylus 3 Is been weird lately when I plug hem into the charger instead of rising his battery level he go down for example if I had 15% in my battery it will became 14% after I blug it in the charger.. And it charging like super slow so slow that it driving me crazy please if u have a solution tell me..

  • Have you tried inserting your SiM card on a different phone to know where the problem exists?

  • I think you don't have signal

  • Please help me. My LG Stylus 3 cannot call right now. Because there is a prompter on the screen that reads " Emergency call only ".

  • I like my LG Stylus 3. I got a problem at the moment. I cannot connect to my contacts, because whenever i attempt to call there a message that appear on the screen, and it reads "emergency call only". Anybody could help me? Thanks.

  • I really enjoy watching all my tv series and movies with this phone because of its large screen. The audio is good, works perfectly fine, good thing too that it has fm radio. finger print scanner is a plus. The multi window is useful at times. Dropped it carelessly a few times but I am actually surprised that it's still working as good as new and no breakage! It is totally worth every penny!

  • not possible to do harm by adding a layer of glass. move on.

  • It has been found that installing so called protective/tempered glass on mobile phones mostly do more harm than otherwise...AMOLED glass and the other recent materials used on most mobile phones are actually scratch-proof so no need for these fake protective glasses...

  • Just got mine in the mail (M400DF version; 32 GB). Haven't put a SIM in it yet, but this thing is an awesome media player. With headphones connected, the sound quality easily beats my other phones, iPod touch, iPad and laptop (Disclaimer: not an audiophile but a casual listener of MP3's). The FM radio tuner is also nice to have.

  • It is a cool little phone. The camera quality is very low, but for me it is fine. It has a fingerprint sensor at the back where I prefer to have and it has a pen which works quite accurately. Very light phone, doesn't feel like a brick in my pocket, and the back is not fixed, so the battery can be changed if you happen to be in an emergency. One major problemis that the model M400Y has no NFC, so beware that it won't work with android pay!

  • Just a quick note to advise you all: DO NOT PURCHASE THIS PHONE. Not if you expect to take high quality pictures. The camera in this phone is a PIECE OF *CRAP* (using less inappropriate noun here because of posting rules). The camera won't focus properly no matter what you do. All pictures turn out blurry. The camera settings are idiotically simple: there's no way to adjust focus, ISO, exposition, NOTHING. Same with video: no way to downgrade the resolution from HD. I tried to use it at work in which I have to send low-res video over email/web, there was no way to record video on anything less than HD. So yeah, total waste of my money. Third and LAST time I get ripped off by LG. TV turned out crap, BD player turned out crap, and now this phone. Well, third time is the charm.

  • Anybody knows how to screen mirror to Led tv?i use anycast,pls. I want to figure out Thanks,

  • this phone has many versions but changing to another rom is very diffucult,if you buy with android 7 so it goes forever.S is better for change over custom roms one to another. but L lock the phone to protect because no any change possible.android is looking like iphone mentality day by day more restrictions more ads more adv more money. so android 7 is not as good as 5 but more restractions comes etc etc

  • turnoff your data

  • How to root it ??

  • -Less lag -Less bugs -Faster Facial Recognition in low light (I know, surprise-surprise) -overall improvement *still 7.0 Nougat, though (not even 7.1.1/7.1.2)

  • No news from gsmarena about LG stylus 3 latest update.

  • I have this phone since 1 month now and I love it. I needed a phone with (integrated) stylus and dual sim. I'm a stylus addict (have been using HTC stylus phones before the first iPhone came out) because of the precision and the ability to take notes. And I need a dual sim because I live in one EU country and work in another. Unfortunately the LG Stylus/Stylo 3 is not available in the EU (why??) but I was able to order it from a US company in Florida via ebay. I received a Stylus 3 model LG-M400DF which has 32 GB internal storage instead of 16 GB announced on the website (nice surprise). Total price incl. EU import taxes and shipping was 255 EUR. Basically, the only alternative currently on the market with stylus and dual sim is the Samsung Galaxy Note 8. Obviously, many will say there is no comparison possible, but here are 4 reasons why I prefer the LG Stylus 3 over the Note 8: 1. The Stylus 3 has 2 sim slots PLUS a micro SD slot - the Note 8 has a 2 slots, 1 sim and 1 hybrid slot, so you have to choose between extra storage OR a second sim 2. The Stylus 3 has a removable battery, the Note 8 doesn't. Battery life is actually really good on the Stylus 3, it usually lasts >30 hours (but I'm not a power user) and I bought an extra battery for 15 EUR which together give me an autonomy of approx. 3 days 3. Compared to the Note 4 dual sim (don't know for the Note 8): both Stylus 3 sim card slots have 3G & 4G, so no more need to physically switch SIM cards between the 2G and the 4G slot like in the Note 4 duos. 4. The LG Stylus 3 is 4 times cheaper than the Note 8 :) For sure, the Note 8 has many other great features (e.g. better camera & display, waterresistant, more sensors, faster CPU, more RAM), but for me they are less important.

  • Updated. No difference

  • Hi anybody, Mine is 3gb ram stylus 3. I just got notification of software update, ver. V10f-NOV-09-2017. Do anybody got the same updater & has any good experience in doing updating? Thanks for kindly response.

  • I absolutely loved the display of this phone . I prefer 720p over 1080p anyday.......i am not a pixel freak. to watch phone at a distance....720 p is my ideal preference. ....i also love its 5.7 inch size....i havent bought this phone yet...........but i tried it in stores........what disappointed me is the rear camera......the pictures were very soft and no detail.......tried it in 2 stores and both places the camera sucked....the front facing camera is great. awesome. The speakers loudness is perfect....am sure the battery 3200 will last.......i really hope it gets a good camera update in the future....so i can think of buying it then....when the price goes down

  • How to unlock the bootloader & how to root ??

  • Staylus .... LoL

  • LG Staylus 3 & LG Q6 both phones are at it's best. Bot phones hv latest software Android 7. Camera quality for both phones is same. Battery life of both phones is also almost same. But LG Q6 has higher display pixels then LG Staylus 3. LG Q6 is also stronger than LG Staylus 3 in terms of drop. Only major difference is LG Staylus 3 has 5.7" display along with staylus. But in LG Q6 you get 5.5" display without staylus. Also LG Q6 is a compact phone cz display being 5.5", overall size of phone looks like just 5" display phones available in market & also it is 18:9 ratio phone, 2nd of it's kind in market. In short, both phones are unique in themselves. It is us who has to decide which phone to buy.

  • Still u can visit LG service centre with boc n bill. They will surely help u with the same.

  • Guys can someone help me I have to charge my lg stylus 3 everyday cuz the battery drains so fast when im not using it.

  • Yes stop sitting on it

  • Did you mean the LG G6+ or Q6+? Because there's no LG Stylus 3+ released in Indonesia. In fact, there's not even plus version of Stylus 3, there's only Stylo 3 with configuration 32GB/2GB compare to the Stylus 3's 16GB/3GB but then again Stylo 3 is not for Asian market.

  • My hand on experience at the phone mall: The display is best in class. I was blown away by its size. It is way better than any 5.7 or 5.5 screens..........because of 720p the videos look even more bigger. I am in love with this display The camera..........front...........A class camera. Amazing Back camera...........worst ! below average But i loved this phone

  • Stop sitting on it

  • my lg stylo 3 is bending

  • Low ppi does not matters to me even when reading comics.

  • At a normal using distance, you cannot distinguish individual pixels with 20:20 vision. Cheers, lad. :)

  • My brother has an LG G4 Stylus and the ppi doesn't feel low you at all, actually the screen looks pretty decent...

  • my only complaint is.... the plus version in indonesia comes out just two months after i bought this with better memory capacity!!! damn i'm 2 months earlier

  • Is the low ppi noticeable? Might buy if not.

  • Does this lG Stylus 3 have a Xda thread or an way to get Roms ?

  • Hi,when i check for a software upgrade on this phone ,it tells me this device is not registered yet why could that be ?

  • Hi,i with also like to know if this device is fast charging compatible?

  • I love this phone :) im so excited to explore this... Thanks LG.. Life IS GOOD

  • Go to LG Authorised Service Centre...if screen problem...it has free Screen replacement warranty...

  • lg stylus 3 for bigger screen.lg q6 has face detection but nit usefull all the time better go for bigger screen for better watching and for gaming

  • How to activate the recovery mode ??

  • Stylus 3 -Costs less -Bigger screen -Fingerprint sensor ;)

  • I'm having the same problem. So which one's better?

  • does it support fast charging. I have a fast charger and wondered if it would work.

  • This is one of the many cons of buying online. (Buying online has its advantages, too). If you bought the device personally from a retail store, you wouldn't have a problem right now. The best thing that you could do would be to call LG Customer Service about this. Cheers, lad. :)

  • I bought my I new LG stylus 3 months ago and started using it 7 weeks ago after having added a gorilla glass screen protector and protective case. 3 days ago suddenly the showed horizontal and vertical lines, making the display so dark that cellphone is now practically useless. The phone was neither dropped nor otherwise damaged. The phone was purchased from Amazon. What do I do now??

  • Then you just proved yourself wrong. "Continuously playing mobile games" on ANY device of ANY brand drains battery. Duh.

  • Baftery lasts for 2 days? But my battery last only for 1 day. I continuos playing mobile games. It'll drained fast. 😞

  • From where I am, they cost the same. XD But anyways, thanks!

  • You're from Chile, aren't you?

  • Stylus 3 -Costs less -Bigger screen -Fingerprint sensor ;)

  • I've been an LG fan ever since. But I can only go for their middle-ranged phones. So which one is better? LG Stylus 3 or LG Q6? Please help me out.

  • It depends. This phone has everything that a power-user needs. The LG Stylus 3 literally lasts for two days on heavy use, and three days for text and call. But, if the person that you are giving it to wants Oreo, NFC, and/or infrared blaster, look for something that LG, Samsung, Sony, or Nokia has to offer.

  • Should i buy this as a gift

  • The Stylo 3 is by far the least likable mobile phone I have ever owned. It's ability to drop calls, freeze up and act like anything but a cell phone is only outdone by the fact that LG and Sprint have no intention of standing behind or servicing this product. This was my second Stylo 3 as the first one went back because it did all of the same things plus the screen cracked. I have LG TV'S and have had other LG phones but stay away from this phone.

  • Go to Messaging (or your default messaging app) >hold the Settings button on the LG Keyboard (gear icon) >tap on the Handwriting icon next to the Voice Input icon that pops up (pen icon next to mic icon) you may be prompted to download the input language data which is required to use handwriting input. Cheers, lad. :)

  • Stylo 3 on Boost experiencing mobile data freezes in multiple apps. Must switch to another app and back again to restore connectivity. Pressing refresh within the app does not help. Very noticeable when scrolling news feeds. When connection freezes while using an app all mobile data is frozen for the phone. Verified this by experiencing mobile data freezes in Opera Mini and then calling my Hangouts VoIP number from another phone. The calls did not go through. Factory reset did not resolve. Amazing phone, maybe this unit is defective? Please reply if experiencing this issue.

  • can be the chip or sometimes the company adds the fast charging feature to the device

  • Hi, does anyone know if the stylus can be used within the messages app, ie to write messages rather than type them?

  • It should be 2tb or 2 terabytes.

  • What defines whether or not a smartphone supports fast charging? The chipset model?

  • Your unit is the Stylus 3 M400DK which has no NFC, but better front facing camera.

  • Why my LG stylus 3 has no nfc? But in specs on gsmarena LG stylus 3 has nfc.. i'am in the philippines..

  • The removable battery on the Stylus 3 charges normally without Quick Charge in about 4 hours. Don't worry. This is normal. The reward for this setback is a 2 day battery life for the phone.

  • just reset your device bro. my device takes 3 hours .from 10-15% to 100% to charge .

  • Curious this website says memory can expand only 2gb. Total only 18gb? Disappointing.

  • Yes you can

  • No.

  • i have problem with the battery.it's take about 4 hours to charge untill full. it is normal or any problem with my device?

  • Does anyone know if I can use a fast charge charger on the lg stylus 3?

  • Is stylus 3 has an screen protection

  • IT is nice phone best camera and selfies is oosomebut when i open what's up or other it will be hak for 1 min it nice phone for this price battery is less

  • Then what are you doing here? Hurry and bring your issue with LG Customer Support. They'll be more than happy to assist you with this. Cheers, lad.

  • Mine just switches off then on own its own it's annoying especially when you are busy with something you have to start over again it's only 2 months old

  • Better than the new LG Q6. Trust me.

  • Thank you.

  • I've been using this phone for 2 months now. overal its a great device for my need. i'm not using this to play heavy and display complex game, just a coupple casual game to spend some time. my complain is the internal memory too small. evan though i can move SOME of application to memory card, still whats left in internal memory not good enough. i have to run some cleanup every two or three weeks. and... there's screen sensitivity. it can do clicking evan when my finger still hovering coupple mm from screen. its good in some ocation but mostly annoying when i'm done using and want to insert it to pocket then the phone somehow recognise my finger and waking up, so i have to turn screen off and insert it again with more carefully.

  • Yes po :)

  • Yes it can be used without stylus also

  • I ordered it online and I'd like to know if it can be used without the pen? I mean can navigate the phone using your finger?

  • Can it be used without the pen? I mean can you browse the apps using your finger?

  • my mobile has high degree in finger sensor, checked with term vision approximately 55 centigrade.

  • my mobile blocked by finger print secured i don't know how to solve this block. i can't open the mobilethe

  • the screen is so sensitive. at the same time the display freezes most of the time. you cannot access anything, not even login to your phone once this happens. initially you can close the display and open, it will function, but later, no matter what you do, it becomes unresponsive at all.

  • YOur problem created by your SD card, not it come from mobil

  • LG style 3 Very nice phone for the price. It is light, practical and packed with customization features. 13 megapixel Cam front and back. no heat issues. Samsung j7 max and j7 pro heavy heated issues. Camera quality is very very good. Removal battery . and battery backup also nice.

  • Last solution before contacting LG: -Format your phone and card. (back-up if desired) PEBKAC

  • Eventhough im using es explorer. I still cant copy my files to my sd card. I cant even delete files in my sd card permanently. When i delete it. It will come back.

  • Yep 32 GB Rom and full HD display panel would have been perfect..would've made it such a formidable device..LG should be taking notes

  • Some power intensive app running in the background is causing it to run warm I suppose,kindly find the defaulting app and uninstall it or install an alternative..the camera is slow to focus but picture quality is decent, I think we need to be a bit patient there..the camera is decent enough for a "budget device" and people who get this phone obviously don't get it for the camera..(no I'm not a great fan of LG but this device is getting far too much flak than it deserves)

  • waste phone i have ever seen it heats daily with use and without use and rear camera is worst and works slowly i have many problems with this i may suggest you not to buy lg stylus 3 phone

  • It seems there exists a PEBKAC in your situation...

  • Very nice phone for the price. It is light, practical and packed with customization features. Only issue is storage and RAM. I got the M400DY variant. If only it could come with 3GB RAM and atleast 32GB ROM...

  • Kindly Google "How to Use Multi-Window View in Android Nougat" ..now multi window view is hard-baked into android with Nougat

  • I purchase stylus 3 b'coz i was amazed by stylus 2 of my spouse. Apparently after having my stylus 3 i was saddened that lot of features of stylus 2 doesn't have the stylus 3. Example are the dual window, nothing at all. Instead of upgrading the stylus 3 from 2 it seems they removed lot from it. I dont get it why... LG designer and tech WHY?!!!

  • Check the file type or extension..download a music player that supports that particular file type or extension..usually the most popular is .mp3 supported by all music players ..some other file extensions are .aac and .m4a and then there is lossless audio too -> .flac

  • Use es explorer or FX explorer..give the es or FX permission to read and write your SD card (you can do this in settings of es or fx) following which copying stuff from internal memory to SDcard shouldn't be a problem

  • Camera clarity is good. But taking time to focus. Slow than galaxy j7

  • My Old sd card is not formatted. But still working on lg st3

  • That's because your card is not formatted. Please back-up your files and format the card in the LG Stylus 3 device.

  • My sd card from previous phone is not opening in LG stylus 3. sd card not corrupted.

  • Whenever i play music the phones says that this file type is not supported.can u guide me about whats the problem and the solution.

  • What should i check in my files? Cant reformat the sd card. I check it in my laptop, says no virus found using esset antivirus

  • Does anybody here played NBA 2k17 on this LG Stylus 3? How was it? Thanks

  • Install ES file explorer on phone. & check your files

  • I can't remember what software is used to explore the contents of an SD card on desktops, but in principle you should use a card reader, if you can, to read file contents on your desktop or PC just to be sure if files are safe. However, because Android reads only 'EXT4' file format and Windows, the only OS I'm familiar with, reads FAT, FAT32, NTFS... but not 'EXT4' natively, you'd have to figure out a way to read it on desktop. Another quick and easy way would be to check the card on other Android device to see if files are intact. Do a thorough research before trying anything.

  • For what you pay for this phone, it's pretty good. I got mine with a pay-as-go plan from Walmart. It comes with Android Nougat out of the box, the camera takes decent photographs, and screen is pretty sharp. Battery life is good too.

  • For what you pay for this phone, it's pretty good. I got mine with a pay

  • Hmm... it looks like LG might not launch the 'Plus' variant after all, for it has been over 4 months since the launch of Stylus 3. For contrast, the Stylus 2 Plus was launched here in July last year, 15 July to be precise, though in Taiwan it was launched by June. Maybe, just maybe, because of the upcoming 'Q6' the 'Stylus 3 Plus' might not happen after all. Or maybe, LG quietly launches it while we're at it...

  • Hey having problems about my sd card now. My files were still in my sd card. But i cant save ot transfer files anymore in my sd card. Got some idea how to fix? Is it a bug in phone or sd card may be corrupted

  • its a great device :)

  • My stylus 3 is too taking long time for charging. But battery backup is good

  • The only problem that I am having with my LG styous3 is the battery.It sometimes takes hours to be fully charged,But it becomes low very quickly.Besides that I am okay for now with my LG,But I need help with regard to the battery issue please

  • I buy this item tylus3 . but when i use continues not morethan a hour.. Its very quick heat.. I dont now why.. But this is new.. I play game mobile lagend.. 2round in a games only its so quickly heat.. So i need to rest this unit again.. Please help what problem.. Thankyou.. By the way almost 7apps i intall only.. Not like my stylus 2.. Its better now than my new stylus 3.. I hate dis happen..

  • Played games (mc5, nova legacy,unkilled) on default settings. All of them working well. Not yet played GTA SA & Nova 3 on this device.

  • Did you try installing all the available updates and also did you check if your internal memory is full ..if the problem still persists ..then you might need to get your device checked

  • The antutu benchmark scores are like dis LG stylus 2 plus -37,433 LG stylus 3 - 40,392 In comparison to the Redmi note 3 -77,479 Redmi note 4 - 61,834 ( ya.. I know redmi note 4 is a bit of a downgrade but still a 60k+ score is sufficiently huge) I know benchmarks scores aren't everything but it gives you a rough idea...and the difference is huge...gaming is ok but don't expect it to run everything you throw at it with ease.

  • Dear sir ..do you know any workarounds for it..can we manually install the updates without flashing the device everytime once the device is rooted? I have read about this application called flashfire on "how to geek" but I don't want risking losing an update to android O should LG decide to give it one in the near future..maybe I should just be patient and manage with the limited internal memory as of now..and then root and foldermount the heck out of it once the android O update rolls out..or should i just screw the updates (nougat is good as it is) and just root my device and forget it...what do you suggest would be wise?

  • Good for gaming ? I have it. But not played a game yet.

  • OTA updates is available after rooting. But it will not be installed

  • Dear jay,if you are referring to mounting the SD card as default storage..nope it isn't possible due to restrictions by Lg however as you have mentioned quite a few of the apps can be transferred to SD card..if you are really having a memory crunch you can consider rooting your device and shift your obb files to SD card and mount em using "folder mount" app..you won't get any OTA updates post rooting though

  • Hey jj. The thing in micro sd that you shared. You tried it already?

  • LG stylus is full waste compare to other devices, am using from 1.6 months always getting hang always, i cannot restart also if it is getting hang only option is to take battery out and and put it again. its really utter flop device.

  • Volte works on both the Sims ..been using since two months

  • There is not a decent single Chinese device that offers a stylus..literally there is none in existence

  • I have been using this phone for two months now and neither the videos on my Mx player nor the youtube lag/freeze..however there is a minute delay in opening the apps but it never freezes.. the mediatek processor is holding up surprisingly good as of now..have used a Snapdragon version of redmi note 3 and the Motorola droid turbo...it's a definite downgrade from em but it manages..maybe something wrong with your particular device..gotta get your device checked

  • And stylus is pretty useful to me as a med student cos I can take quick screenshots of texts and images of the topics I'm reading and quickly scribble stuff to be remembered in the screenshot for future revisions...so it's indispensable to me as a student...using a finger is tedious,active styluses are expensive and lag and forget using those cheap fat styluses,you can't write with those...and calligraphy works only in the screen off memo...in the capture+ which you use for screenshots..you get to see your own beautiful handwriting...yes there are far better offerings for lesser price..if stylus is not important for you..forget this phone..this is only for stylus users..the name says it all

  • Come on ..don't be so harsh on it..yep I have used the full HD on redmi note 3 and the QuadHD on Motorola droid turbo and my mi pad...it's near perfect for desperate stylus users..cos the samsung note 4 with a battery that doesn't last a day,no VOLTE,no dual SIM...and Samsung note 5 with no expandable memory..so currently perfect would be Samsung note 5 and near perfect would be LG stylus 3 cos there aren't any others to compete...maybe Lg stylus 2 plus(with a lesser cpu-'stylus 3 has outperformed stylus 2 plus in benchmarks',and a lesser battery) or the upcoming LG stylus 3 plus (with lesser ram and smaller battery again) can compete..and I have seen quite a few bad 720p panels..this is nothing like it

  • Buy p9-plus , g3 has a lot of thermal throttling

  • Yeah. There are apps you cant move. Youre welcome

  • Your idea worked well for some apps, thanks jay!

  • I'd pick the G3. But G3 is phased-out now. I recommend the newer budget-friendly models of LG. e.g., G4 Beat, K10(2016), Stylus 3, G4(watchout for specific bootlooped units tho), etc.

  • Just moved on from a very temperamental note4 to this a few days ago n love it apart from one thing...... Playing video. It huffs n puffs n buffers then freezes n is driving me mad. Is this typical for this phone? If it is im sadly going to have to change it for a phone without a stylus. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Xx

  • hey ! I´m planning to get a new mobile but i´m between buying P9 plus or this lg g3 which one would you recommend ? based in your own experience of course, I'm into photograhy and use a lot of apps for documents and so -..

  • Demo?

  • Go to settings>general>storage>internal>ap­ps>click the app> then click change> sd card

  • The marshmallow update does the trick :) check it out!

  • Would u please tell us how u did it?

  • I'm using LG Stylus 3 M400DK for exactly a week now. using the dual sim. both have 4G support. it's not just the sim card and the phone, but you also have to use it in a 4G coverage area.

  • I purchased lg stylus two months earlier and using since than. This mobile is quite beautiful. It is slim and efficient for multitasking. But the only issue I found with this mobile is that it does not support idea 4G internet. While all other sim like Airtel, Telenor, works very well . Idea sim while used in other device works on 4G internet but not works on lg stylus 3 model.

  • You can move apps to sd. Ive tried it already

  • Specs said it has volte. But when i called while data is on. The signal of data goes to G or 3g

  • Tottaly agree with u after i, sadly, BOUGHT this phone.... Including those comments of HD on 5.7 screen, bad button placements (sharp tip volume updown buttons now on the side, NOT on their back) and many more "unfriendly" lines....

  • Near perfect to forget about it? If u never be a FHD user, u will find this screen as a wow. And if u were, u will end up in a -sigh-.... Its stylus, yes it is an okay stylus cos ur writing will be looked as a calligrapher. Thats it.

  • Read some posts here and u will be assured. If only LG prepared everything in this phone before launched it. Now LG copied its korean competitor selling strategy; sell first, think later, and sorry in the end.

  • U sure? Cos im not. These days many chinese brands offer alottt moreee with this price. Yet i already fall in love with LG phones both mwdium or its high end. But this one made my heart broke....

  • AGREE.COM Its big screen cheated me....

  • I am a LG user since G2, had 4 LG phones before this one. And i can tell u, this is the worst. With $250, many brand offers more. One word, regret....

  • Buy new charger that can produce more than 3 amp. The white oem charger only give u a lousy 1.2 amp. Dunno if the batt can take more powerfull charger or not i u use >1.2amp charger. Some devices batt will be leaked sooner cos they cannot stand higher amp chargwr adapter.

  • Nope, ao far.... But the batt drained very fast. Yet i need to tey it in 1 more week before conclude the batt performance. But yes the charging time takes more timw than my previous LG phonessss.

  • Well, i found no "move to sdc" button in app section. Thus i assume, this phone cannot move any apps to sdc. About memory problems, i have this one: I use "app cache cleaner" as my junk wiper on last 3 my phone. Everything seemes okay till this stylus3. Right after u clean anything, the app tells that u always have a "constant" junk or anything that need to be wiped as huge as 200+MB or bigger. What da.... Everytime.... Yes it changed to 0 first, but in 3 or 4 sec the app detects another 200 or 300MB junks again. And i found anothee annoying error, the phone cannot be woken up instantly. It always takes more than 1.5 minute to operate normally after u turn it on. Cos when u turn it on, the big padlock icon will show up on your screen and wqsting ur time. Bad new phone (for mine at least), consider twice before u buy it folks....

  • No gorilla grass for sure but i dont know volte, never tried so far

  • Mine too, but i yet applied any temperred, just the oem "antiscratch" plastic foil. And i got those bubbles in the middle of the screen. So dissapinting. Never had this kinda thing before. Anyway, i had G2, G3 stylus, and G pro. All did well, except this stylus3

  • I only downloaded a mobilelegend bangbang (google n findout urself) as the first and only game, result? Not happy! Score? 3/10. The first loading screen takes the same time like my prev LG G2, LOL!! When the game resolution is set into high quality, the lagging occurs. Normal quality wasnt too smooth either. The screen "only" HD, so if u are or were a FHD or higher res screen user, it will look like a junk. And shait, i knew it after i bought it.

  • Got mine last 2 months ago (Stylus 3) my issue is when mobile data is turned 0n, LTE/3G is not attainable or wont appear even in full bar. Any advise is highly appreciated.

  • Pls reply

  • mine too with bubbles on top and bottom edge outside display area. can it actually be LG standard?

  • LG Stylus 3 memory Issues: Hi, I have mine for about 1 month and I have no complain for its performance except that mine has memory issue. This phone has facility to move apps to SD card so I moved each that movable. The moving process ran well but when I checked it on Storage I saw that the only storage that ran out was internal memory. SD card stayed empty. So I went to Internal memory and checked which apps were in it and voila! I found all whole apps I had downloaded listed in only with "SD card" description for apps I had "moved". Now I have used 90% of my internal memory and only 5% of my 32GB SD card. Anyone can advise?

  • i have mine for 1 month and it has already an issue.it wont charge.

  • yeah mine have bubbles on its edges too.

  • hey i have the same problem too! i just bought it last month and it wont charge anymore

  • i have the same problem. it wont charge.

  • somebody helps me. my cellphone dosent support OTG but i read on this site it dose,how can i do for solve this problem?

  • You must not be using the power adapter that comes with the phone. It charges very rapidly. Pretty much all power adapters for cell phones are 5 volts to make them compatible with USB ports. So to find out if your adapter is the problem look for the amps rating. LG typically likes 1.2 amps, and charges very fast, and their adapters seemed to be engineered to work specifically with their phones. Otherwise it would charge even faster using a Samsung adapter rated at 1.5 amps. You can use a Samsung adapter, but it will charge more slowly than their OEM adapter. If you are using a generic adapter or non LG adapter and the amp. level is less than 1.2 that is your problem not the phone.

  • Does stylus 3 have gorilla glass? And does stylus 3 have volte? And how to turn it on

  • does this phone have a fast processor? for gaming purpose.

  • please help me guys. how to hide buttons in lg stylus 3. could someone help me...... please answer my question . tnx a lot

  • The charging takes forever. Any better options?

  • I've had my k10 for quite awhile and I really like it. But it won't take a charge any more. It's not the battery, it's fine. I think someone jammed the charger into the port, kids. Does anyone have any suggestions? Will the lg k10 work with a wireless charger?

  • does this phone heats up easily?

  • Who cares Lg is good in some aspect. But this lg stylus 3 the ppidensity is to low. I need higher density, because i like clarity.

  • Yes

  • Even on the other LG stylus 3 specially the unit on the display have the same issue

  • I got my LG Stylus 3 but I have issue regarding to it flat surface in the screen. I noticed that it has a depression on flat surface especially on the edges when you reflect it on light so when i applied tempered glass it creates a bubbles.

  • I got lg g3 till now no issue amazing camera smooth performance and long lasting battery.. LG means Lasting Genuine..

  • Does this phone take 2 simcards

  • From a Home screen, tap and hold a blank area until the dual windows are displayed then release. From the top window, tap and hold a blank area on a panel until the Home panels screen is displayed. Tap Add .

  • Is this phone good for gaming?

  • Could you share its stock wallpapers please?

  • I got this phone. I like it. Looks elegant and professional. I got no issues on its performance as well. Nougat runs fast and smooth without sign of delay on this device. Thumbs up for LG on this one!

  • LG Stylus 3 comes with 2 home screens, anyone knows how to add new home screen in it? Please help me, I still can't find it

  • It's the best in it's range...

  • Lg stylus 3 advantages over samsung note 4 1.dual SIM both having volte support 2.battery backup is way way better (3200 mah powering a 720p panel)easily lasting a day on moderate usage 3.runs android nougat out of the box 4.clean android u.i with minimal bloatware 5.double tap to WAKE & sleep (you can use nova launcher for double tap to sleep ONLY) LG stylus 3 advantages over redmi note 4 1.The active stylus...nuff' said

  • there is literally no other phone with an active stylus in the budget category ..the stylo/stylus series has no other competition..other phones skip the active stylus tech to give you better specs in other aspects..so calling it overpriced compared to other phones in the same budget is not actually fair

  • Phone is overpriced.

  • it's "Life's Good" you should have seen the tag lines

  • well in America its known as the stylo, to the rest of the world its stylus

  • Could anyone who already has it share its stock wallpapers please?

  • is it true that LG is "Laging Gawa"?????

  • is it true that this phone is not so durable?? I am planning to avail this one on my retention plan but some of my friends advice me that LG brand is sirain. LG - "Laging Gawa". Please advice.......

  • Little bit confused whether I could install most of my apps on the memory card or not

  • No you cannot mount the micro SD as internal storage...100% positive on this...however many of the apps can be transferred to SD card 'in the storage section of settings menu'..so I've been still able to install quite a lot of apps and games

  • Stylus? they are called stylo great phones tho this battery better not blow up in my face tho

  • I want aslo to make sure of this point prior to buying it

  • Hi, are you sure that I can't use the Micro SD Card as an internal storage?

  • is this good or the note 4 still good?

  • Near-field communication (NFC) is a set of communication protocols that enable two electronic devices, one of which is usually a portable device such as a smartphone, to establish communication by bringing them within 4 cm (1.6 in) of each other.

  • After complaining so much about the 720p resolution and the 16gb internal storage,i finally decided to go with the LG stylus 3(Indian version)..Got my phone yesterday.. Here are a few things to be clarified- 1.the 720p lcd panel has definitely exceeded all my expectations,i had a hard time believing it's just a 720p panel..Awesome work LG 2.No,it doesn't come with NFC (LG stylus 2 PLUS has NFC) 3.internal storage is around 10-11 GB user usable..And LG has restricted the 'adoptive storage' which means, NO ..you cannot set up your micro SD card as the internal storage... However a few apps can be moved to SD card , the Google's ​ones dont move..While at least half of the others do..So some kind of redemption there 4.the double tap to sleep and double tap to wake up is the best feature ever..Why doesn't Android adopt it into its O.S???!!! 5.even though the phone has an all plastic build,it still manages to look premium and feels sturdy 6.if stylus is your primary reason to get a phone and you are on a budget..LG stylus 3 is near PERFECT

  • what is nfc?

  • There has been some confusion. There is no NFC.

  • Hi, In FCC filings, I can not find any information about the NFC. On LG India website, I can not find the information either. May you please show me where you see it?

  • Refer to reviews. The specification sheet on official LG page mentions the NFC.

  • Can the external SD card be set as internal storage in this device...YouTube reviewers seemed to be divided on this..Some say you can some say it's not possible...Has anyone tried it... Here are some instructions for marshmellow,they should work for nougat too- How to turn external SD card into internal storage on "Marshmallow". 1. Go to device “Settings”, then select “Storage”. 2. Select your "SD Card", then tap the “three-dot menu“ (top-right), now select “Settings” from in there. 3. Now select “Format as internal”, and then “Erase & Format”. 4. Your SD Card will now be formatted as internal storage. 5. Reboot your phone. NOTE: If you don't reboot the phone, many things may not work correctly, so make sure you do. If this doesn't work on your device, then you can only use the card as "External" storage, which will not allow for apps to run from the card. You can free up space on the phone though by moving photos, videos, music, etc. over to the SD card, freeing up space on the phone.

  • Can the external SD card be set as internal storage in this device...YouTube reviewers seemed to be ddi

  • NO nfc

  • Who told you that the styus 3 / stylo 3 has NFC?

  • Yes, all versions have it.

  • Is That NFC is available in India version?

  • No. Is 720p too.

  • There is an app drawer on the Boost mobile version. Search YouTube for a review done by 'Paul Tech'.

  • I have the boost mobile LG stylo 3. And i own a cricket wireless Alcatel one touch idol 3 with 1080p 5.5" display. I'm 47 y.o. and I can't see a difference in the display quality of both phones. I'm just cheap and I won't pay over $200 for a phone.I wanted a bigger phone so the LG stylo 3 fit the bill. Not having an app drawer is the only downside to this LG product😒

  • Could anyone who already have this phone share its stock wallpapers please?

  • LG began developing the Stylus line of phones since the G3, with the moniker 'G3 Stylus'. However, after the 'G4 Stylus' that naming convention has since been dropped. There was no 'G5 Stylus' in 2016, but a 'Stylus' and 'Stylus Plus' instead. LG never advertised this lineup as heavily as its other products. In fact, the 'Plus' variant wasn't even advertised for once. History seems to be repeating itself and, quietly, LG will release a 'Plus' variant in a month or so. Of course, this is just a theory.

  • Sad thou' it is The LG stylus 3 lacking the 1080 HD is the deal breaker for me 😞glum

  • Is there a 1080p version of K10 pro in Brazil?

  • I wish LG releases the 'plus' version of the stylus 3 in India with a 1080p display.. don't care much about the fingerprint reader but 1080p is a MUST..Are you listening LG..Any news on plus version?? Anyone??

  • Just noticed there is no 1080 on the LG stylus 3 thats not good Dang!

  • Thanks for your reply i'll know better next time - happy days

  • You can only edit a comment within 10 minutes of posting. Otherwise, you should just write a new one.

  • Note to GSMarena Why cant we edit our review

  • I hope the price tag is more affordable ☺

  • Man. Bit disappointed. Doesnt look like a plus version will be out.

  • Oop's that should have said ( charge ) 😊

  • No turbo change - thats a bums rush yiks!

  • Wonder why there is still no sign of a plus version

  • The Stylus 3 was released in Brazil under another name: K10 Pro. And came with less RAM: 2 GB.

  • If the internal memory is less than 32 gigabytes is no need to buy this phone

  • Front looks nice but the back is different design from LG. Its much better if they stick with the G design line up coz thats LG identity

  • My next phone if it releases in Oman or in the Philippines.

  • DAB+?

  • I buy LG until other makers bring back the removable battery............

  • Does not look like an attractive successor.

  • My dearest knowledge enthusiasts.Undoubtedly LG as an international good famed Co.has all potential reality capabilities to offer better,and best unique nowadays standards to offer flawless specifications in midrange crowded class!!But seeing a good specifications without FHD,IR,Bluetooth V3.1 and compete WiFi like lg k10,...brings a 5.7 inches smart-device under popular eagerness which is not in LG standard capabilities which has made a high end class of LG G6 with amazing specifications with two excellent 5.7 and 5.3 (for China)/versions!!!Hopefully LG reconsiders stylo and stylus model modifications for its own sake and enthusiasts whom expect better compete products from midrange class which has the most absorbing attentions worldwide!!!This is a merely tenderly unbiased recommendations for a brand,...,Thanks everyone everywhere!Justice Rights.Omid12Omidvar.

  • ROFL..Yep atleast give a fullHD screen...HD resolution on a 5.7 inch screen in 2017..LG u r doing it wrong

  • hope it will be available in the middle east (or in the Philippines), last week at Qatar Duty Free only the LG Stylus 2 was there not even the Stylus 2 plus.

  • I am looking forward to the style 3. I love the style 2 and hated the original style. I am glad I took a chance on getting the second one. I hope that the style 3 has gorilla glass. That's the only downfall with the style 2

  • I have the Stylo 2plus and it's only $300 CAD> or just $230 USD... I really really really hope that the 3+ isn't as expensive as you predict. I feel LG has been trying to streamline their phones but in doing so they remove all sorts of things that people actually like, like dual-window on the G5, or rear volume buttons on the Stylo 3.

  • I am a Stylo 2plus (the better version of the 2) owner. Mine has a 1080p screen, a better camera, a better look, and just better internals. Why would any 2plus owner EVER want to switch to this?! It's just a rebranded Stylo 2!

  • Basically just a worse looking Stylo 2

  • increase internal storage

  • It's 2017 and they still use HD display on a 5.7 inch screen. :(

  • phone is good bt 16 gb is not good........

  • should have a higher optiom inbuilt memory of 32 or 64 GB.

  • nice phone but only 16 gb not good

  • Glad to see LG may have brought back OTG on this phone, don't know why but some people said the Stylo 2 T-Mo had it and others couldn't use it, then looking into it, Stylo 2 never had it. The Stylo 3 is nice but I hope they add a Stylo 3 Plus with 32GB like ZTE with ZMAX Pro and Grand X Max 2, Zmax having 32gb and fingerprint and GXM2 having 16gb and that secondary camera. please make both the stylo 3 and 3 plus available on all carriers the stylo series has featured on.... cricket, metropcs, boost, etc.. you could release the stylo 3 around $180-200 with 16gb then later release the 3 plus with possible 6" or 6.2" screen and 32gb for around $220-260

  • It will be more then $350costly

  • It will be more then $350costly

  • Mindless phone models again,lg will be out of phones soon as Nokia has entered,lg phones never make it to market just in china

  • I love LG! When is this gonna be available inthe philippines? Im choosing between this and lg k10 2017. I hope its on the range of around $200 or less

  • It's LG Legacy :v

  • You guys should chill. Compare this to Samsung devices. They cost almost twice as much with nearly the same specs (maybe even a shade worse than LG) but have never seen so much hate.

  • Yeah and it's gonna cost twice as much with SD625, and thrice as much with SD652.

  • Why so many haters?

  • Too bad they're backtrack on using Mediatek again on the line up since the last model was moved on to Qualcomm's Snapdragon. But still no screen protection up till now for all Stylus range except for the Stylus 2 plus which is I think the best till now.

  • Many of them are complaining about speaker. If they mount the speaker at bottom then the battery could not be removable.

  • firstly i infomn that i like this battery feature and ram feature me and my family always use LG handset and i am very impress this product .i prmote this product and becasuse its all feature is apprittiable ,..

  • Go home LG.

  • Removable battery is really appreciated by LG fans.

  • Love this build quality hate it's specifications

  • I think each LG Stylus family must have 2 version, the basic version and the upgraded version. Because from the beginning, LG Stylus family is very weak (using low-powered CPU, small resolution (HD or maybe lower?) at a very big screen, and an average camera. There aren't any good mid range phone from LG, LG is just good at making flagships and casual phones. Sony's midrange phone is good.. But overpriced.

  • Its about time LG give Samsung some competition with their high end SOC, nice display ext.They would gain alot of support especially since the V20

  • U are right man.i am very disappointed when showed the speaker on the back. I am not familiar with any mobile phones with the speaker on the back! Alpha

  • Atleast battery is "Removable" so it has longetivity. Though I prefer it had a higher SoC Helio P10.

  • Wat wen wrong with it spek? Wanna higher spek? Go ahead buttt its cost triple price than lg stylus 3. So face it lha,low spek low price,high spek expensive broer. Got it

  • LG again creates a phone that could of been great but ruined by there new design and spec choice 😪

  • Once again, no WiFi ac, Gyro sensor or Quick charge. Underwhelming SoC. Sub par GPU performance (Mali - T860MP2) Lame. The 'Plus' variant better feature FullHD and an SoC acceptable by 2017 standards.

  • Because note7 is dead, stylus 3 should use SD652 or at least SD 625

  • Their display specs list the vertical resolution. If your looking for at least 1080P for movies, etc. the 1280 long dimension spec more than covers that since they'll be viewed horizontally.

  • Lucky LG did not introduce a lower resolution screen like 640 x 480 ppi which most uploaders use to put their videos on You tube. Mid range = low profits = lousy products. Buy ZTE Axon 7 for more VFM and kick this phone aside. Move over stylus 3.

  • i say this with great sadness, no smartphone manufacture offered a stylus better or on par with the S Pen and i am not even a fan of samsung or styluses but truth be told, and this thing looks like one of these cheap pens you buy on amazon

  • Maybe they will come out with a plus model. I refuse to buy unless 1080p

  • Man, they should have put that loudspeaker in another place, not on the back! I do not understand why they are repeating the same mistake over and over again. Because it is a mid-range device that does't mean you can take bad decisions. And it should at least have a Full HD display.
