LG Broadens the G4 Family With G4 Stylus and G4c
It’s not uncommon for manufacturer to have a main flagship and then create one or more offshoot variants to it with specific use cases or target markets. LG did it last with with the LG G3 and the Vigor, Stylus, and Vista variants and they seem to be continuing the trend this year. Late last night, LG announced the G4 Stylus and the G4c — new variants of the recently announced G4.
The G4 Stylus is the larger of the two variants and as seen within the name, comes with a stylus pen for productivity usage or just a more precise tracker. Although having a Note competitor would be nice, LG didn’t envision that with the G4 Stylus based on the specs. It’s rocking 5.7” HD IPS display, 1GB Ram, 8GB internal storage, and a 3000mAh. There are two variants: a 3G-only and LTE equipped version; The 3G has a 8MP and a 1.4GHz octo-core processor while the LTE has a 13MP and a 1.2GHz quad-core processor — both processors are unnamed.
On the other hand the G4c, and yes we all know what naming style that’s similar too, is the more compact G4 variant in case the 5.5/5.7” displays are too big for you. The G4c has a 5” HD IPS display with again 1GB Ram, 8GB of internal storage, 1.2GHz quad-core processor, 8MP rear and 5MP front cameras, 2540mAh battery, and LTE.
For people that care, yes all variants have removable batteries and external storage abilities, as well as are running Android Lollipop.
Unfortunately though, in the press release, we weren’t given release dates, pricing, or release markets. If you remember last year, some variants were only released for prepaid carriers, so maybe we don’t have to worry about them confusing us for the actual G4. Is anyone interested in the G4 Stylus or G4c?

Urban Armor Gear LG G4 Case Review
June 23, 2015 | Vincent Messina
The Urban Armor Gear series of cases for the LG G4 aim to protect and serve your mobile device in a virtual blanket of, well, urban armor. Designed from a patented lightweight composite consisting of a hard outer shell and a soft impact resistant core, this dual layer defense not only meets military drop-test standards (MIL STD 810G 516.6), but looks good doing it. Now, before I go into more detail, let it be know that I have always been more of an au naturel device kind of guy, but after a bit of time with the Ash colored LG G4 Urban Armor Case, I can tell you that this case won’t be coming off any time soon.

The DROID brand deserves the majority of credit for the amount of early success that the Android operating system had in 2009 and 2010. From the original Motorola DROID to the original DROID Incredible, this was the brand of phones that people flocked to if they wanted a phone outside of the iPhone, not just because of a great marketing campaign, but because these were top of the line phones. Ask most of the readers on this site which phone got them started on Android, and you shouldn’t be surprised to hear them say, “The OG DROID.” It’s an iconic phone that helped launch Android to the top.
