After quite a few rumors, LG has finally decided to announce the imminent arrival of its Vu III smartphone. Unfortunately, there is no English press release available yet, but the company's Korean website has been updated with news detailing the LG Vu III handset.

Most of the specs are the same as previously rumored:

Processor: 2.26 GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 (MSM8974) featuring Adreno 330 graphics
Memory: 2 GB RAM
Display: 5.2-inch HD IPS capacitive touchscreen with 1,280X960 pixels
Cameras: 13 MP back with autofocus and LED flash, 2.1 MP front-facing
Connectivity: 4G LTE, 3G HSPA+, WiFi 802.11 a/b/g/n, Bluetooth 4.0 with A2DP, GPS with aGPS
Operating system: Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean

LG did not mention anything about the internal storage capacity or the battery, but the Vu III will come with a Rubberdium stylus and an optional Quick View case. The Knock On feature allows users to wake the device with a double tap on the screen.

The LG Vu III smartphone will be released in Korea on September 27 via SK Telecom (SKT), Korea Telecom (KT), and LG U+. Considering this, we should have details on pricing and availability in the rest of the world soon.

In my early school days, I hated writing and having to make up stories. A decade later, I started to enjoy it. Since then, I published a few offline articles and then I moved to the online space, where I contributed to major websites that are still present online as of 2021 such as Softpedia, Brothersoft, Download3000, but I also wrote for multiple blogs that have disappeared over the years. I've been riding with the Notebookcheck crew since 2013 and I am not planning to leave it anytime soon. In love with good mechanical keyboards, vinyl and tape sound, but also smartphones, streaming services, and digital art.
