Those who were expecting to see the LG Q Note can finally celebrate, because the LG Q Stylus is now official and — although it is not exactly a top-of-the-line device — it provides exactly what many users have been waiting for, namely "a handwriting input smartphone without the premium price" with a generous display and mid-range performance.

The list of common specs and features includes a 6.2-inch display with 2,160 x 1,080 pixels, Android 8.1 Oreo, a 3,300 mAh battery with fast charging support, a 1.5 GHz or 1.8 GHz octa-core processor, WiFi, Bluetooth, GPS, NFC and USB Type-C connectivity, MIL-STD 810G and IP68 rating for protection from various hazards, and more.
