LG will release the new (Optimus) Vu 3 in Korea next month, a 5.2-inch phablet coming with a transparent case. Positioned to compete with Samsung's Galaxy Note 3, the Vu 3 has a 4:3 large 5.2-inch display as well as a semi-transparent QuickView case, enabling some animated notifications. The phone packs a Snapdragon 800 chipset, a 13-megapixel rear camera and LTE-Advanced support.

It is slated to hit KT Telecom, SK Telecom and LG U+ in Korea in the coming months.
