LG G3 Name Trademarked

Here is what we know: On February 5th, a law firm that has worked with LG in the past filed a trademark for "G3" in the mobile phone category on behalf of LG.

Now keep in mind, companies grab trademarks for future products and potential future products all the time. While they often like to wait to the last minute before filing, that is not always the case, especially when it comes to obvious names that everyone knows are coming eventually. Therefore, this does not necessarily mean that the LG G3 will be shown at the Mobile World Congress but does mean the phone is likely coming at some point soon. We are far more likely to see the LG G Pro 2 at MWC 2014, that phone has been rumored for months.

The G3 is rumored to sport a Quad-HD 2K screen (2560x1440) up to 6 inches. It is also rumored to have a Octa-core processor with big.LITTLE architecture for better battery life.

Its a bit of a mystery, what LG plans to do with two major phones expected to come out this year. The LG G Pro is due a sequel, but most experts expect the G3 to come out in time to compete with Samsung's Galaxy S5.

As we have been saying a lot this month, we will likely find out more at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona next month, if not about the G3, then at least LG's next phone. If the G3 isn't revealed there, it will likely show itself at a special event put on by LG, possibly in April or May.
