Supersize LG G3

LG is all about variants for its popular G3 flagship phone. This LG G3 Screen is the largest of the bunch, with a 5.9-inch display.

Similar design

Familiar buttons on the rear of the phone and a rounded backing convey the same design language as the original G3.

Eight cores inside

A small octa-core chipset inside combines two quad-core application processors for sharing tasks. The G3 Screen bears LG's first octa-core chipset. It isn't necessarily the fastest in an LG phone, but the in-house component helps keep costs down.
