LG Stylus 2 Plus delivers sharper display and faster performance

LG today announced the Stylus 2 Plus. It’s a direct improvement over the Stylus 2. Many of its good looks and qualities remain, though LG upped the 5.7-inch display’s resolution to 1080p from the 720p on the base model.

The other upgrades come mostly in the RAM department. Models with 2GB or 3GB of RAM are available, and the chipset has been bumped to a much faster ARM-based 1.4GHz Octa-Core processor (though the company is being hush on the exact make and model, for some reason).

Everything else is the same, including the stylus that comes bundled with the phone that supposedly has some sort of nano coating on it to make it feel like you’re writing with an actual pen. It’s probably just marketing jargon, of course, but we’ll allow it.
