The South Korean giant has not revealed the price details of the LG G3 A and has also not announced any plans to release the smartphone outside Korea.
The LG G3 A supports Korea's LTE-A band similar to the recently launched Samsung Galaxy S5 LTE-A and LG G3 Cat.6. The latter is identical to the G3, except that it features a Snapdragon 805 SoC instead.
The smartphone, unlike the LG G3 (Review | Pictures) and its 5.5-inch Quad-HD (1440x2560 pixels) display, features a 5.2-inch full-HD (1080x1920 pixels) display.
It runs Android 4.4 KitKat out-of-the-box. The LG G3 A is powered by 2.26GHz quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 processor alongside 2GB of RAM. The LG G3, on the other hand, is backed by a quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 processor clocked at 2.46GHz, featuring 2GB of RAM for its 16GB built-in storage variant, and 3GB of RAM for its 32GB variant.
The LG G3 A comes with 32GB non-expandable inbuilt storage. Much like the G3 flagship, the G3 A sports a 13-megapixel rear camera with OIS+, dual-LED flash and a laser auto focus sensor. There is a 2.1-megapixel front camera also on the LG G3 A.
Considering that the LG G3 A comes with a full-HD display, the company has packed a 2620mAh battery, compared to the 3000mAh battery seen on the G3.
Apart from LTE-A support, the G3 A includes Micro-USB, Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac, Bluetooth 4.0, NFC, GPS/A-GPS; Glonass; GPRS/ EDGE; HSPA+ (3G) connectivity options.
The LG G3 A will be available in Black and White colour variants.
The South Korean giant has already announced LG G3's mid-tier variant, the G3 Beat last month. The LG G3 Beat was available initially in South Korea.
