At first glance, the recently announced G3 Stylus might look similar to LG’s current flagship — the LG G3. However, under the hood, the devices are as different as chalk and cheese. While the former is a mid-range device, the latter is an out and out high-end flagship.

The G3 Stylus does come with a ‘rubberdium stylus’ but it does not really sport any unique feature like the S-Pen on Samsung’s Galaxy Note devices, which kind of makes it pointless.
