While those living in South Korea will naturally get their hands first on the LG G3 on May 28, customers in Singapore will have to wait for a month -- June 28, to be exact. But this is still earlier than if you were in the UK, where the the phone will only go on sale on July 1, or in the US, where no dates have been confirmed.


Singapore was one of the six cities globally in which LG launched its new flagship but currently the only country to reveal pricing. The 16Gb version of the G3 will retail for 868 Singapore dollars ($691) without contract, while the 32GB will go for a slight markup of 928 Singapore dollars ($739).


This makes the phone much cheaper compared with other flagship handsets from Samsung and HTC. The G3 packs an eye-scorching high-resolution QHD display as well as a camera that uses laser focusing. Internally, it's powered by a quad-core processor and runs Android KitKat (4.4.2) with a new snazzy flat UI.
