LG G3 could arrive in two resolutions

LG may be hard at work on the G3, the successor to the excellent G2 smartphone, but if the latest set of benchmark scores posted online are accurate it may be arriving as two separate models; one with an eyeball-searing QHD resolution display and another with a slightly more affordable 1080p screen.

Now that the Galaxy S5, HTC One (m8) and Sony Xperia Z2 have all been revealed, LG's handset is arguably the biggest Android device of 2014 still to be announced. Earlier this week leaked specifications suggested the phone would have a QHD 2,560x1,440 resolution screen, a significant improvement over the 1080 displays found in most flagship phones, but it now appears that it may be joined by a 1080p variant.

AnTuTu benchmark figures spotted today seemingly revealed the alternate handset, which appears to have 3GB of RAM - a gigabyte more than the qHD phone, according to the same benchmark. Both phones appear to have a Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 processor, 13-megapixel rear camera and 2-megapixel front-facing webcam, along with Google's Android 4.4 KitKat operating system.

We would be surprised if LG would hobble the top-end QHD handset with less memory than a 1080p version, so this could be a different phone entirely. We would suggest taking these leaks with a pinch of salt, but clearly LG has something exciting in the works.

Naturally LG hasn't confirmed the leak, and is remaining silent on its plans for the G3. We'll just have to wait for an official announcement, which could be as soon as July according to the latest rumours.
