The LG G3 Beat release date comes earlier in India, which confirms the company's push to introduce a smaller version of the LG G3 flagship to emerging markets first.

Something similar to the LG G3 Beat was rumored for release in select European markets, and LG Germany did confirm the LG G3 S, with specs which comes close to the Beat's, is set for release on August. The second-biggest phone retailer in Russia, Svyasnoy, offered units of the device for pre-orders, with full information on specs to boot.
