LG G3 Mini (G3 S): Leaked Manual, Features, and Variants

New information comes from the future LG Mini G3 (also known as G3 S). This is a model that everything seems to indicate that it will not take long to be official and, the data that has been known, comes from the publication of some pages of the manual of the phone. Of course, in a "perfect" German.

One of the first curiosities that becomes clear when viewing the information that has been leaked is that in it the reference to the terminal is LG G3 S (D722V), so it seems pretty clear that this will finally be the final name of the device when it hits the market. Therefore, the change of nomenclature for the new phone is confirmed. Everything indicates that the brand will use different names by region., with references that include G3 S, Beat or Mini depending on the country, a common strategy to segment markets without altering the main hardware.

The images of the manual that appear, which is where the information is obtained, are for a specific model of the Vodafone company and, contrary to what was initially thought, the D722V it will not be a Dual SIM model. Of course, it is not ruled out that other variants of the LG G3 Mini are. There is no mention of dual SIM in the leaked documents., reinforcing the idea that this capacity would be limited to local editions.

Possible specifications

Other details that have been known and that for a long time seem to be part of the LG G3 S (which in principle will not take long to go on sale, perhaps even before the IFA fair is held), are that the phone will arrive with a screen of 5 inches with 720p quality, so it would be integrated into the mid-range of the product, although always being one of the most prominent models. This IPS panel would reach 1.280 x 720 pixels and a density close to 294 ppi, enough to provide adequate sharpness in text and multimedia content.

Besides, the combination of processor and RAM would be a Snapdragon 400 quad-core 2GB, which would result in a very solvent device, and that would not work badly in multitasking jobs. Other options that seem to be starting in the LG G3 Mini (or G3 S) are an 8 megapixel main camera and 16 GB of storage. Different regional specifications mention variants with 1 GB of RAM and 8 GB of storage., but the European model manual points to 2GB and 16GB as the most likely configuration.

Continuing with what was leaked, the presence of NFC is explicitly mentioned, a valuable addition for mobile payments and quick pairing with accessories. Connectivity options are also expected to include 3G, Bluetooth 4.0, Wi-Fi, GPS, and GLONASS. LTE connectivity could depend on the market, as some operator listings do not detail it, while the family history suggests that there will be editions with 4G.

In photography, in addition to the 8 MP rear sensor, there is talk of a 1,3 MP front camera for video callsThe set would move with 4.4 Android KitKat accompanied by the house coat, Optimus UI, which brings features like Knock Code and interface improvements. The battery would be around 2.540 mAh, sufficient for a day of moderate use in combination with the efficient chipset.

The design, according to the manual and certified images, It would bear a strong resemblance to the LG G3, including the distribution of buttons on the back and contained frames. Among the physical data that have come to light, there are some approximate measurements of 137,75 x 69,6 x 10,3 mm and a weight close to 134 grams, fitting in with its mid-range offering with a 5-inch display. The leak has also been passed through Asian certification bodies, supporting the imminent launch.

In this way and from what has been known, we must hope that the new model offers a competitive price -which would make it very attractive-, and as soon as the version of the operating system this will be 4.4 Android KitKat (we'll see what development exactly). The fact is that there is more and more data on this future model than various information has already been leaked that, little by little, are confirmed. In some markets the cost listed by operators is around 13990 rubles., which at the time translated into a range close to €300–400 depending on changes and promotions, a figure consistent with its segment.

The LG G3 Mini/G3 S is emerging as a more compact and affordable alternative to the flagship, with an HD display, Snapdragon 400, NFC, and an 8MP camera, while maintaining iconic design features. The lack of Dual SIM in the D722V doesn't rule out variants with that feature, and the possible availability of LTE will depend on each region. If LG fine-tunes the optimization with Optimus UI, It could be a solid option for those looking for a balance between performance and price..
