LG Prada 3.0 (also branded as Prada phone by LG 3.0) is the third smartphone in the LG Prada phone series. It is the successor to the LG Prada II and the LG Prada.

The device was marketed as a premium high-spec limited-production luxury phone on the weight of its Prada branding.[2] LG and Prada featured a number of celebrities in their marketing campaign for the phone.
