The G2 is LG's answer to the likes of the Samsung Galaxy S4, HTC One, Sony Xperia Z1, and Apple's iPhone 5s.
The distinctive features of LG G2 are the positioning of its on/off button and the 'near zero bezel'. LG has managed to cram a 5.2-inch screen, which is 65mm wide into a chassis that's just 70.9mm wide. The bezel along the long edges are virtually non-existent, and is narrow at the top and bottom too.
The G2 features a 5.2-inch True-HD IPS+ TFT LCD panel produced by LG with a resolution of 1920 x 1080, giving a pixel density of 424 pixels-per-inch. The panel delivers bright, vibrant and color-accurate, images that are not oversaturated.
The phone comes with strangely-positioned rear buttons. Rather than having the power and volume buttons in their usual positions around the edge of the handset, LG has placed them below the camera on the back panel. The idea is to stretch as far as possible to either side of the device, delivering minimal bezel.
Internally, the LG G2 is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 MSM8974 SoC, which features a 2.3 GHz quad-core Krait 400 CPU, a 450 MHz Adreno 330 GPU, LPDDR3 memory controller, QDSP6V5A Hexagon digital signal processor (DSP) at 600 MHz, and a range of connectivity features including LTE and Wi-Fi 802.11ac.
The G2 is also a suitable gaming device, thanks to its relatively spacious 5.2-inch display, portable body and powerful internals.
The LG G2 comes loaded with Android 4.2.2 heavily customized through LG's UI.
The phone comes with a 13-megapixel Sony Exmor RS IMX135 1/3.06” backside illuminated CMOS unit with 1.12 μm pixels, and it's paired with an f/2.4 lens with a 4.0 mm focal length (29mm at 35mm conversion). The entire module is optically stabilized through a system. Video recording capabilities include 1080p/60 video at 30 Mbps, 1080p/30 at 20 Mbps, and some interesting software implementations such as tracking zoom and audio zoom. There's also a 2.1 megapixel front-facing camera capable of 1080p/30 video.
The LG has packed in a relatively large 11.4 Wh (3,000 mAh) battery into the handset.
