Contrary to the previous expectations, it seems that LG is going to keep pen support as a feature exclusive to its Stylus lineup. Several photos of the rumored LG G4 Stylus have leaked and it's quite clearly different from the upcoming G4. As seen on the pictures (below), the pen can be stored in a special recess inside the case. According to rumors, the battery will have the capacity of 3000 mAh and will be removable, while the display will be larger at 5.8 inches (G4: 5.5 inches). Its resolution is unknown at this point but is unlikely to be less than Full HD (1920 x 1080 pixels). Either Qualcomm Snapdragon 610 (quad-core) or Snapdragon 615 (octa-core) is expected to be used - both integrate Adreno 405 graphics and support 64-bit mode along with LTE and Wi-Fi 802.11ac. These SoCs belong to Qualcomm's mid-range lineup.

Naturally, the G4 Stylus will be running Android Lollipop out of the box, though the exact version number is unknown. The official announcement of this smartphone isn't expected until after G4's introduction on 28 of April, but we do know for certain that it will be coming to the US: it was already submitted to FCC for certification under the model number LS770.
