At a large launch event at Lincoln Center in NY City, LG unveiled its new Android Flagship smartphone, the LG G2. The device boasts a large 5.2-inch full HD display with 1080-by-1920 pixel resolution. According to LG, the G2 will be rolling out in more than 130 countries, starting in South Korea and followed by Europe. It will be the first Smartphone to use the Snapdragon 800 processor.
Features:
Big Screen: The G2 is much closer in size to the Samsung Galaxy S4 rather than the Optimum G Pro. The device is only 1mm wider than the Galaxy S4. It is a good move because it gives users the benefits of a bigger screen.
Rear Buttons: LG made an interesting decision regarding button placement. The volume and power buttons are right below the camera. A quick tap on the buttons will allow users to move the volume up or down and a long press of the On button will launch the Quick Memo shortcut and the Camera.
Camera: The G2 has a 13-megapixel camera with optical image stabilization. While zooming in at 4X on a vibrating object, the LG’s latest flagship smartphone G2 maintained a much more stable image.
“Like HTC and Samsung, LG has its own Android skin. Atop Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean, LG has added features it thinks will make life easier for users. Most of these features we have seen on the previous LG Optimus G and the Optimus G Pro — but they now appear more refined and better thought out. Features such as “knock to turn on” for the screen and “hold to the ear to answer” — are similar to features we have seen from Samsung and Motorola. LG has much less experience skinning Android and its results are mixed at best.” Read more http://mashable.com/2013/08/08/lg-g2-hands-on/
