LG G2 official; 2.3GHz CPU, 5.2-inch fHD & 3,000mAh

Following one of the company’s most successful phones, the Optimus G, LG has finally announced its successor – the LG G2. The brand Optimus has been omitted from the naming this time, and a lot of improvements are promised as the Korean company plays out their card.

On a hardware standpoint, the LG G2 packs a 5.2-inch 1080 x 1920 Tru-HD IPS+ LCD display, larger than the G, but smaller than the G Pro. Also, a 2.3GHz quad-core Snapdragon 800 CPU is running the show alongside the Adreno 330 GPU, 2GB RAM and a 3,000mAh battery.

The glass and crystal-patterned backing is nowhere to be found here anymore, as it is replaced by a texturized one. On top of that will be the 13 megapixel camera w/ LED flash and the uniquely placed volume & power buttons, which aims at making volume adjusting and ergonomics convenient when your fingers are on the back of your phone.

The bezels on the front side of the device are also thinner now, and LG even had the capacitive buttons removed to make way for on-screen ones. All of this is supposed to result in a more manageable form factor.

“Learning from you”

Software consists of highlights as well. From unlocking the phone & guest profiles to app shortcuts & gestures, LG has you covered with the little things as the additions found in the company’s Android UI is just plenty and quite a mouthful.

The phone will be available in black & in white colors only. Date of & price at launch is still unknown as of the moment, but it will slowly roll out internationally soon.

What do we know so far about the LG G2?

If you’re just tuning in, we’re just an hour away from LG’s big reveal happening in New York as they debut their new franchise centerpiece, the G2. And while we’re still waiting for the official announcement, we thought of sharing with you some of the things we can probably expect from the upcoming hero device.

In the design department, it’s been speculated that the handset’s volume rockers will be situated at the back of the G2, just below the camera module. The latest official press photos courtesy of @evleaks suggests that this rumor is true as seen in the image below:

Now whether that design scheme is gonna be a hit or a miss for consumers is still left to be seen. We’re just hoping that LG can come up with a good reason for putting it there apart from just trying to be different like they did with the Optimus Vu.

Next up we have the innards which, according to rumors, will consist of the top-of-the-line Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 quad-core SoC, 2GB of RAM and battery pack that’s rated at 2540mAh. As expected from a flagship handset in today’s standards, the G2 will run on Jelly Bean version 4.2.2 out of the box which will be displayed on its 5.2-inch 1080p screen.
