Alright folks, the official news is here. LG has just made an announcement that it will officially be launching the LG G3 on May 27. The invites have started going out and the launch event will take place in different parts of the world on May 27 and 28. The invitation reads save the date and says “To be simple is to be Great” which is probably a hint towards the rumored flat UI of the device.
