LG Stylus 3 Features
Pros
Improve Pen Pop 2.0
The brand made a claim that while the stylus remains the same, the whole UI of the LG Stylus 3 was optimised a lot to enhance stylus experience. The highlight is the Pen Pop 2.0, which gives you an interactive menu to perform stylus oriented tasks when it is pulled out.

Screen-Off Memo
This feature is copied from that of Samsung Notebooks, but it actually comes in handy. By using this feature, you can pull out of the stylus in a locked device and commence writing on the turned off display like a notepad. This is a very handy feature from the LG Stylus 3 as it helps to keep notes and memos.

Cons
Dull Display Light
The LG Stylus 3 is very perfect for multimedia with its massive display, but however it has another downside. The display comes with a resolution of 1280 x 720 pixel, which when compared to the size of the 5.7inch , produces a pretty dull display with a pixel density of 248 ppi. Direct sunlight and usual visibility is slightly lower than usual. Apart from this, there is no other major disadvantage of the device.
