The Galaxy Note is the most famous smartphone to come with a stylus, but it\u2019s hardly the only game in town. LG also makes a respectable line of stylus-toting phablets, and they just announced the latest model, the obviously-named LG Stylus 2 Plus. Here\u2019s what you need to know.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

The Stylus 2 Plus takes design cues from last year\u2019s LG V10 and earlier Stylus handsets, with rounded corners, a stylus stuffed in the top right corner and rear-mounted volume and lock buttons with an integrated fingerprint reader. There\u2019s a 13 or 16-megapixel camera on the rear, and a 5 or 8-megapixel shooter up front (depending on region). The Stylus 2 Plus appears to have a plastic construction, with a fairly professional look (at least on the black model; gold and brown colour options are also available).<\/p>\n

Where the Note series is decidedly high-end, the Stylus is more affordable. The Stylus 2 Plus continues this trend, with a mid-range spec sheet that includes an unnamed octa-core processor clocked at 1.4GHz, backed with 2GB of RAM and 16GB of storage (although some regions will get a 3GB RAM \/ 32GB ROM version). One nice feature is the removable 3000mAh battery, although fast charging is also supported. The operating system is Marshmallow, with LG\u2019s usual tasteful improvements.<\/p>\n

The Stylus 2 Plus looks like a contender if you like using a stylus, and you want something a\u00a0little<\/em> more pocketable than Apple’s iPad Pro.<\/p>\n
