LG G3 A announced as a smaller G3 that doesn't feature a Quad HD screen

LG just announced another variant of its G3 smartphone - not long after unveiling the G3 s (aka G3 Beat). The new handset is called LG G3 A, and will be available this month in South Korea, via SK Telecom - the country’s largest mobile carrier.

The G3 A is larger and better equipped than the G3 s, but smaller and not as advanced as the G3 (which, as you may know, is one of the world’s first handsets to offer a display with 1440 x 2560 pixels).

The new smartphone sports a 5.2-inch display with 1080 x 1920 pixels, and is powered by a Snapdragon 800 processor clocked at 2.26 GHz. It has the same 13 MP rear camera with laser auto focus that we can find on the 5.5-inch G3, and a similar 2.1 MP front-facing camera. Other features include Android 4.4 KitKat, LTE-A, 2 GB of RAM, 32 GB of expandable internal memory, and a 2,610 mAh battery. In addition to all these, the G3 A comes with a new and unique software feature that allows users to control some of its functions with a wrist move. Apparently, you can assign various functions to this move, including turning off alarms, and controlling the music player.

There are two G3 A versions: a black and a white one, both having a “metallic 3D” pattern on the rear case. It doesn’t look like LG has plans to release the G3 A outside of Korea, but we’ll let you know if we hear anything on this.
