Flashback: LG G3 pioneered 1440p phone screens and Laser AF

Image
The LG G2 showed the world that a screen with thin bezels is a great thing. The LG G3 pushed that design further with a larger and sharper display - the first 1440p panel in the industry. And it came surprisingly fast. LG G3 The HTC Butterfly had the first 1080p screen on mobile, it came out in January 2013. A year and a half later, the G3 arrived with the first-ever 1440p display. Technically, Oppo announced the Find 7 first, but LG was first to market so we think it's fair to call the G3 "first". The 5.5-inch "True HD-IPS+" LCD panel had a pixel density of 534ppi, which is... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles https://ift.tt/2Ikl6G9

The Microsoft Surface Duo could arrive ahead of schedule, but with last-gen hardware
