LG G2 Phone Review

The G2 by LG was officially unveiled at a launch event dedicated to New York after months of losses and countless voices.

A 5.2-inch phone with a raft of premium innards, G2 LG marks return of South Korean manufacturer form on smartphone scene. Runs a fast quad-core processor 2.26 GHz with 2 GB of RAM, a 13-megapixel rear camera and a whole new design that sees all physical keys moved to the back of the laptop.

Set to hit dealers later this summer, the G2 LG looks, on paper at least, to be a direct rival to the Samsung Galaxy S4, HTC and iPhone 5. We went hands-on to find out whether it is possible to match the big names on the performance too.

LG G2 design is sure to be one of the main talking points of the phone, with its rear-mounted physical buttons. In short, however, this new approach really works, and after some initial confusion and clumsiness quickly becomes an intuitive way to control the phone.

Located in the upper center of the back of the phone, the rear key controls sit comfortably under the laptop's built-in camera and add an additional thickness barely to its slender design. Much more than a simple volume rocker, the rear key acts as a shortcut to launch the camera, the shutter of the camera, LG QuickMemo launcher for services and a whole range of further. It's easy to feel too blindly the way around the controls with the buttons that acts as a natural resting position for the index finger is holding the phone in both left handed or right-handed way.

Although 5.2-inch display make the G2 feel quite considerable within the hand, isn't overpowering. The phone is lightweight and well-balanced with the slightest 8.9 mm thick and slightly rounded edging helping further ergonomic fit. Awesome, the display Board--Board means that the bezel was cut just 2.65 mm.

While the phone is full of high quality components, materials are a little less intellectual. Unlike A HTC or iPhone 5, the G2 from LG has a plastic body. Despite this, it looks solid with no unwanted flex and on first impressions we anticipate that survive knocks more moderate or drops with little damage. It is set to launch in both color schemes, black and white.

LG G2 screen is where this high-end smartphone really stands apart from the competition. Has an edge--5.2-inch Full HD edge and this provides instant wow factor that will continue to amaze us beyond first use.

Colors are crisp and bright and offer a true-to-life and Full HD resolution 1920 x 1080 pixels and image 423 pixels per inch average density there is no graining or pixelisation while viewing photos or text-based content. The screen LG G2 really pop, with stunning view more premium TV-like a smartphone. Not only bring the LG on par with Samsung and HTC, ben could give the Korean company.

During video playback screen transitions were smooth and seamless without motion blur or stuttering. The black boarder between the screen and the bezel is, however, a bit larger than we would have hoped and takes something away from expanding screen efforts, reducing design bezel LG went to.

Following our hands-on we cannot wait to get our LG G2 review sample in within the near future just to admire once again its screen.

On a front of software, the LG G2 is stylish and intuitive. Although it lacks the 4.3 Android launched recently, the near identical Android OS 4.2.2 Jelly Bean is the heart of your phone and has been overlaid with LG UX interface.

There are a number of new additions to UI in G2 LG as a privacy enhancing guest mode and a simple tap to activate the option that helps further the lack of physical controls. Phone Software deemed highly responsive and fluid during our hands-on, though more strenuous testing will be required before full judgment can be passed.

On first use, the performance of LG G2 is second to none. This is all down to the considerable power lying beneath the body of the phone too, with a 2.26 GHz processor Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 lining up alongside 2 GB RAM.

This combination is a formidable and the true power of G2 is evident from the outside. Springing to life with no hesitation, jumps through homescreen transitions with ease. Jumping in and out more apps no more came near the phone. The G2 handled everything we could throw at it during our hands-on without breaking a sweat. Even if further testing is still required, first impressions are strong for this Android phone.

Although the G2 from LG can answer calls simply by picking up the phone without touching the display or all buttons, unfortunately we couldn't test this function during our hands-on time with the phone. Similarly, 3000mAh battery lithium-ion battery that keeps things running along could be pushed to its limits. We will address all of these areas in our full review LG G2 soon.

G2 camera LG gave strong on the screen when we tested the results. Quick to launch and quick shutter speeds, 13 megapixel camera on the back was a joy to use. What is more, coupled with the 5.2-inch display and image reproduction is equally pleasant experience. The rear camera has a built-in flash LED to further enhance the shots and optical image stabilization.

On the front of the secondary camera by 2.1 inches is a welcome inclusion but which, on first impressions, suffers from the same problems that trouble many smartphone cameras pointing forward. Early tests showed the camera slightly struggled with light handling and the shutter was a bit on the slow side.

Ensuring that your shots are not dulled by fingerprints smeared, the camera back to LG G2 features a Sapphire Crystal lens anti-fingerprint, ideal for its location under the physical keys.

On first impressions the G2 from LG is a much needed step on the smartphone scene from Korean manufacturer. Not only best LG phone to date, the G2 from LG is shaping up to be one of the best phones ever made. Its 5.2-inch screen is simply breathtaking and powerful specs under the hood will be future-proof the phone for some time yet. We can't wait for our review sample to arrive.
