The G4 Stylus sports a 5.7-inch display, slightly larger than the flagship G4, and as the name suggests, includes a stylus for taking notes or doodling on the screen. The G4c's display comes in a bit smaller at 5 inches.

LG said it will also start selling the G4c, with the little "c" standing for "compact" for its smaller 5-inch display, in Europe, Asia, the Middle East and Africa in June.

Together with the G4 in the premium series, the three handsets make up what LG has named "the G4 family lineup", and it will help the company boost its global shipments, LG added.

Both handsets feature either a 13- or 8-megapixel rear-facing camera and a 5-megapixel front-facing camera. Both also run Google's Android 5.0 Lollipop operating system on a 1.2GHz quad-core LTE chipset. The Stylus will also be offered in a 3G configuration with a 1.4GHz octa-core chipset.
