Is a big display good enough?

The LG Stylus2 features a 5.7-inch HD screen with 1280 x 720 pixels resolution. The display comes with In-Cell Touch technology, which should offer good touch interface. You may not find its HD resolution good enough for its price, considering that there are higher resolution options available, however LG has an edge with a Stylus-supporting screen.

What runs inside!

Under the hood, there is a Qualcomm Snapdragon octa-core chipset to power the Stylus2. The processor is paired with 2GB RAM and 16GB of internal storage that can be expanded using a microSD with up to a massive 2TB storage capacity.

It is all about Stylus!

The LG Stylus2 includes a pen, which is the USP of the phone. The new stylus pen has a nano-coated tip for more accuracy compared to the previous rubber-tipped pen. The device features a set of proprietary features, which as per company claims, will enhance the user experience. For example, it has Pen Pop, which toggles a popup menu when the stylus is removed to offer shortcuts to Pop Memo and Pop Scanner. There also is a Pen Keeper that lets will alert you if you'll leave the stylus somewhere. It has also a Calligraphy Pen font that allows users to write in different fonts and styles.
