Abandoning the Optimus branding
for its highest-end devices, today
LG finally announced their latest
flagship - the LG G2.
At 5.2-inches, the LG G2 has a
slightly bigger screen than the
current crop of high-end
smartphones. The resolution
however, is the same at 1920 x
1080 px. The screen is a IPS unit
with a brightness rating of 450nits.
The LG G2 display uses something
called Graphic RAM (GRAM) to
reduce power consumption up to
26% when displaying a still image.
LG claims this increases the
expected overall battery life by up
to 10%.
What's particularly striking about
the phone is ultra-slim bezel and
the lack of any hardware keys on
the front (or sides, for that
matter)
The only hardware key is actually
positioned on the back. It's
actually a combo of several
buttons in one. That's the power/
sleep key dead center along with
the volume keys. The volume keys
also double as shortcuts for the
camera and Quick Memo feature.
The reason behind the decision to
position this key here is to make
handling extra large smartphones
easier and less prone to dropping.
The LG G2 is based around a
2.3GHz quad-core Snapdragon
800 chipset with 2GB of RAM and
an Adreno 330 GPU. According to
Qualcomm's CEO, who appeared in
stage today, the G2 is the first
phone to launch on a world-wide
scale with this top-shelf processor.
The storage capacity is set at
either 16GB or 32GB. Supposedly,
there is a microSD slot as well, but
it seems that will only be available
in certain markets and the units
LG brought to NYC didn't have
such a thing.
The 13MP camera is on par with
the rest of the top notch hardware.
It's got optical image stabilization
(OIS) and can record FullHD 1080p
videos in up to 60fps.
LG has also worked hard on the
quality of audio output. The phone
can reproduce Hi-Fi 24
bit/192kHz. LG has also
collaborated with the Vienna Boy's
Choir to freshen up the available
sounds and ringtones on the
device.
The LG G2 runs Android 4.2.2
Jelly Bean out of the box.
As customary for Android
flagships, the LG G2 offers several
proprietary features to
differentiate. You can double tap
on the screen to wake it up and
tap again to turn it back off. The
phone will readily auto answer a
call when you pick it up to your
ear. There is an innovative Guest
mode to secure the privacy of your
data when friends want to check
out your new smartphone or when
you hand down your phone to your
kid.
Finally, you can get rid of a
currently active app and minimize
it by a three-finger swipe across
the screen.
Speaking of multi-tasking, the G2
can store your app progress in up
to three different apps. The
screenshotting feature can capture
a whole webpage or a long email,
not just the content in your
viewport.
The LG G2 also has an Infrared
port that can be used to remotely
control home entertainment
devices by learning from their
conventional remotes.
Connectivity-wise, the LG G2
makes use of the latest generation
LTE-A connectivity (up to
150Mbps), as well as dual-band
Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 4.0.
For power backup, the LG G2 relies
on a 3,000mAh Li-Po battery.
LG G2 will be available in black or
white and will launch to over 130
carriers in the next eight weeks
starting in South Korea, followed
by North America, Europe and
other key markets.
