LG G3 Now in India; But Priced Very High

LG has launched its latest top of the line smartphone LG G3 in India – after almost 2 months it was launched initially. As expected from any company’s flagship smartphone, the LG G3 has stunning looks and great specs.

And when we say great specs, we meant it – for instance the G3 is available in two different versions one with 2GB RAM and another with 3GB RAM. Well, 3GB RAM on a mobile phone just makes it as good as a regular laptop – just with less screen real-estate 😉 To make the launch even more special, LG roped in Indian superstar Amitabh Bachhan at the launch event to display off the phone and talk about its features. The company also plans to launch 15,000 limited edition units of the phone with Amitabh Bachhan’s signature behind it.

Coming to the price of LG G3 in India – it is expensive! The 16GB storage and 2GB RAM version of LG G3 is priced at Rs. 47,990 whereas the 32GB storage and 3GB RAM version of LG G3 is priced at Rs. 50,990. The phones have not launched on Flipkart yet, when it does we will update you. However, LG has also launched the low cost version – the G3 Beat in India which is priced much lower.
