LG’s upcoming May 27 press event is increasingly becoming a formality and the company’s decision to hold a preview event for the retail partners in South Korea hasn’t helped at all. Thanks to one leak-loving retailer present at the preview event, the official details of the phone have appeared online.

Most of these details are same as what we have been hearing for quite some time but there are some surprises like the presence of Snapdragon 801 processor instead of Snapdragon 805, which was being rumoured.

Among other specifications, the phone will reportedly come with a 5.5-inch Quad-HD display (2560x1440p) display, 3GB of RAM, 32GB of internal storage, 13MP rear camera with OIS+, 2.1MP front camera, and a laser auto focus assist beam (the mystery sensor).  In addition, LG G3 packs NFC, 3000 mAh battery, LTE/ LTE-A support, Bluetooth 4.0, Android 4.4 and just 8.9mm thick body. There is no word on the presence of microSD card slot.

It is important to note here that there could be some differences in the international variants and the Korean variant but don’t expect any huge changes.
