LG G3 allegedly pictured in the wild (a portion of it anyway), benchmark shows 2K display
We’ve been seeing quite a few leaks lately pointing to the very real possibility that LG will be opting for a QHD “2K” display in the upcoming LG G3. Last week, a screen shot from the device showed us, not only a new minimal, “flatter” user interface, but it was the second time we were presented with alleged screenshots captured in — you guessed it — 1440 × 2560 resolution.
If you needed further confirmation that LG will be kicking off the 2K spec arms race, Ubergizmo has allegedly received the first photo of the device pictured in the wild (well, a portion of it anyway). The picture, taken of the device just after it finished an AnTuTu benchmark to completion, lists off a few of the device’s specs, including its 1440 x 2560 resolution display (although the reported 640 dpi could be an AnTuTu glitch). What’s more is LG was reportedly able to confirm the resolution of the device to UberGiz.
Last week, we saw the a possible LG G3 variant for Sprint pop up in a user agent profile (LG LS990). While the device listed a Snapdragon 800 processor, it’s entirely possible it was prototype device for network testing and LG will ultimately pop in an 801 in time for its consumer release.
PSA: US residents can buy Google Glass tomorrow
Tomorrow at 6am Pacific, Google will open the flood gates for one day only and allow any US resident 18 and older to buy Google Glass for $1,500. Unlike previous Glass Explorers, you won’t need a special invite email or special code from Google. All you’ll need to do is point your web browser over to the official ordering page to purchase Google’s wearable computer while supplies last. That’s it.
While Glass will be purchasable by anyone meeting the above qualifications, you should know that this isn’t a public launch for Glass. The product is still in beta stages and currently evolving. Those that buy Glass tomorrow will be joining the tens of thousands already part of the Glass Explorer program and will continue to “beta test” the product while the rest of the world awaits the final consumer version.
Should you buy Glass? I can’t answer that for you. I’ve been a Glass Explorer since the 4th of July last summer. I wear Glass everywhere. If I’m not at home, I’m wearing my Glass. I enjoy being an early adopter and love helping shape and grow a brand new platform for a entirely new era. I’m also a tech geek and I eat this sort of thing up. What are some of the things I use Glass for? Here’s a recent post of mine on Google+. The bottom line is, I love Glass, but it’s definitely not for everyone.
While Glass has changed a lot over the past year, adding more functionality, gaining more apps, and extending battery life, a lot of the core concepts are still the same. Before making your final purchase decision tomorrow, check out our original Glass review here and feel free to ask in the comments as many of us from Phandroid own Glass.
