Few leaked images and many rumours later, the LG G2 smartphone is officially out. The smartphone was unveiled yesterday at an event in New York. For those of you who’re a little late to this party, the G2 is LG’s latest flagship smartphone. It is also the first smartphone introduced under LG’s new “G” Series.
LG G2 smartphone sports a 5.2-inch display
The LG G2 smartphone sports a 5.2-inch Full HD display and thanks to Dual Routing technology, the phone’s bezel is a mere 2.65mm on the side edge. LG’s G2 smartphone runs Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean. Further, the smartphone employs Graphic (GRAM) technology that reduces the display’s energy use by up to 26 percent on a still frame. The smartphone is fuelled by a 3,000mAh battery and It will be available in black and white. The distinctive feature of the phone is that there are no buttons on the sides of the phone, instead the volume and power buttons are placed at the back. We guess innovations at the top-end of the smartphone market is really topping out.
The LG G2 smartphone is powered by a 2.26GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 processor featuring Krait CPU with 2GB of RAM.

Here’s a quick look at the specs of the LG G2:
- 5.2-inch Full HD IPS display with a resolution of 1080 x 1920 pixels
- 13MP camera with OIS, 2.1MP front-facing camera
- 32GB/16GB internal storage options
Like the Samsung Galaxy S4, the G2 comes loaded with a whole load of software innovations, such as the Answer Me feature that automatically answers the call after reducing the volume of the ring tone when the user raises the phone to his ear. Then there is the Plug & Pop feature that recommends options or related features to choose from when the USB cable or earphone is detected. The Text Link feature on the smartphone allows information embedded in text messages to be selected and saved in a memo or calendar and searched on a map or on the Internet. Other features include Quick Remote, Slide Aside, and Guest Mode.
At present there is no mention of the smartphone’s price. However, the LG G2 will be rolled out in over 130 wireless carriers across countries in the next eight weeks starting in South Korea followed by North America, Europe and other key markets. Let us hope that India features as a key market for LG and we get to see the G2 soon.
