LG Q Stylus+ with IP68 certification and a stylus launches in India

After announcing its Q Stylus lineup three months ago, the LG Q Stylus+ finally makes it to the Indian market.

The device aims to offer a stylus functionality, hence the name, at a budget price point. It has a 6.2-inch screen with FHD+ resolution (1080 x 2160 pixels) and 18:9 aspect ratio. The chipset is MediaTek MT6750S with octa-core CPU (4x Cortex-A53 @1.5GHz and 4x Cortex-A53 @1.0GHz) and the GPU is a Mali-T860. RAM is 4GB and internal storage is 64GB, expandable via the microSD card slot.

The back of the device houses a single 16MP unit and a fingerprint scanner while the front has an 8MP selfie camera. A 3,300 mAh battery keeps the show running and the device ships with Android 8.1 Oreo out of the box. The most notable feature of the handset is the IP68 certification against water and dust and the MIL-STD 810G military-grade standard compliance. It's not easy to find those two in a budget smartphone.

But budget doesn't necessarily mean good value as there are plenty of other Chinese brands with better hardware for the asking price. Still, if the stylus is a must-have feature, you will have to spend INR 21,990 ($308) for the LG Q Stylus+. It will be made available in offline stores starting September 5.
