It will be a flagship device, fitted with a 1.38-inch OLED display, 768 MB RAM, 430mAh battery and a heart rate monitor. Plus, Sport will support 3G, LTEGPS. The other device is called LG Watch Style. It is a more budget version: 1.2-inch display, lower resolution, 512 MB RAM and 240mAh battery.
Nonetheless, both smartwatches have many similarities. They will be totally water and dust resistant and also integrated with Google Assistant. Besides, both smartwatches will work with iOS smartphones and support Android Pay.
