LG’s next flagship smartphone has been long rumored to offer users a high-resolution display, and the company has just confirmed just how great its screen will be. In a press release, LG said that a 5.5-inch Quad HD (QHD) AH-IPS LCD panel for smartphones was certified as a QHD display after passing tests by NEMKO, the Norway-based international testing and certification organization for electrical products. LG has recently confirmed that the G3 will be available to buyers in the second quarter, scheduling a massive press event for May 27 to announce it.



The 5.5-inch display will feature a 2560 x 1440 resolution, or four times the resolution of HD panels and 1.8 times higher than Full HD displays. The G3 will have a 538 pixel per inch (PPI) ratio, and the panel will meet the 100% RGB color reproduction standard, according to the company. LG added the QHD display has reached the same level of brightness as Full HD screens, thanks to improved technology in the LTPS backplane.

Finally, the G3’s display is also ultra-slim, measuring just 1.2mm in thickness, and has a 1.15mm bezel, which is 0.05mm smaller than last year’s panels.
