The LG G3 Beat is a mid-tier variant of the G3 smartphone, but it still comes with NFC.

The device features a 5-inch 720p display and runs Android 4.4.2 Kitkat on a Snapdragon 400 quad-core processor running at 1.2GHz.

The G3 Beat was announced in mid-July 2014 and is available immediately in Korea. The device will roll out across the rest of the world over the weeks that follow, and will be marketed as the LG G3 S in Europe and the CIS.
