The LG Optimus G2 is LG’s latest flagship phablet that have only been announced by the company on August 7th. The G2 has a beautiful 1080 x 1920 pixels display with a pixel density of 424 pixels per inch. Having a display of 5.2 inches, it marginally larger than the Samsung Galaxy S4 and Sony Xperia Z, however the difference in size is hardly noticeable.
As a matter of fact, the LG Optimus G2 measures 138.5 x 70.9 x 8.9 mm (5.45 x 2.79 x 0.35 inches) when compared to Samsung Galaxy S4’s dimensions of 136.6 x 69.8 x 7.9 mm (5.38 x 2.75 x 0.31 inches). On the other hand, the G4 weighs 143 g (5.04 oz) while the S4 weighs 130 g (4.59 oz).
LG’s new phablet comes with a quad-core 2.26 GHz Krait 400 that runs on Qualcomm’s MSM8974 Snapdragon 800 chipset. The graphics processing unit is an Adreno 330. It has 32 GB of internal memory of which 24 GB is available to the user and 2 GB of RAM. The Optimus G2 comes with Android version 4.2.2 Jelly Bean.
The main camera can take up to 13 megapixel photos while video recording is carried out at 1080p@60fps. As one can expect, camera features include face detection, optical image stabilization, GEO tagging and high-dynamic-range imaging. The secondary camera has a 2.1 megapixel lens and supports 1080p@30fps videos.
The G2 comes with a 3000 mAh battery. On paper it looks that battery life will be better than the 2600 mAh battery on the Galaxy S4, though one would need to wait for more detailed battery comparison tests to come to a definitive conclusion on this regards.
The Optimus G2 includes a compass, gyro, proximity sensor and accelerometer sensor. Also included is a stereo FM radio, a feature that is nowadays omitted in many other smartphone and phablet models. LG’s latest phablet is available in white or black rolex replica watches. On the downside is the fact that the G2 cannot be upgraded by means of a micro-SD card. Another disadvantage is that the battery is not removable.
According to the information available, there is also a Korean version of the LG Optimus G2. The main difference is that the battery is a smaller one at 2610 mAh, however it is a removable one. The Korean version is also slightly thicker at 9.14 mm (0.36 inches), probably due to the removable battery. Also the Korean version only comes with a 16 GB of internal memory, however it can be upgraded by means of a micro-SD card.
