The two are affordable alternatives to G3 and retains the premium quality and essential features of the flagship. Curved and Arc shaped design provide a better grip plus metallic skin exudes that executive feel, for mid-ranger smartphones Beat and Stylus looks like royalty.
The G3 Stylus as the name suggest brings note-taking feature with its stylus pen. Comes with massive 5.5 inch IPS LCD but at only qHD resolution and powered by 1.3GHz Mediatek MT6582 Quad-Core Processor.
On the other hand, the G3 Beat sports a better display with a 5 inch HD IPS LCD Display and a more fitting 1.2GHz Snapdragon 400 MSM8926 Quad-Core Processor.
Both have 1GB RAM for memory and 8GB Internal storage with MicroSD Slot for storage expansion.
For its optics, Stylus has 13MP versus 8MP primary rear on Beat while having same 1.3MP Front Camera. They inherited the G3 Laser Auto-Focus with OIS+ feature which gives accurate and blur-free outputs as well as Touch and Shoot to capture moments at an instant.
Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, Bluetooth 4.0 and GPS serves its standard connectivity and for data HSPA+ and 3G frequency. G3 Beat supports Low Energy with its Bluetooth while Stylus is a Dual SIM/ Dual Standby Handset.
Battery backup is great with G3 Stylus with 3000mAh and Beat with 2540mAh. Run the latest Android KitKat 4.4.2 with LG own UI and experience on top with QuickMemo+ and Knock Code.
The Question which one is better? well in my opinion, G3 Beat wins with better display and internals while Stylus has a upper hand in terms of camera. Price is also a factor wherein G3 Beat is priced at only 13,990 versus 16,990 G3 Stylus. It's LG G3 line after all so I guess design and features which is unique plays more on their pricing. However, with Stylus with Mediatek Processor could have a more desirable price cut even if it comes with a stylus.
If you wanted the G3 but still want to save then G3 Stylus and G3 Beat are clear option for you. The G3 Stylus is great when enjoy memo taking with your own hand style while Beat offers a compact all-around smartphone. The two shall standout with their distinct arced curvatures and offers top of the line functionality. LG still manages to be competitive with Stylus and Beat.
