LG
Electronics unveiled a new smartphone on Wednesday to add to the array of
eye-catching phones on the Android platform.
The LG G2
with a 5.2-inch high definition screen is in the market to compete with the
likes of Samsung galaxy S4, HTC One, Motorola Moto X and probably beat them, at
least that will be the aim of LG.

“Our
definition of innovation today is technology that truly resonates with
consumers,” LG mobile communications chief Jong-seok Park said. He also referred
to the G2 as the most ambitious mobile phone ever produced by the South Korean
company.
The G2 has
come with various features and specifications. It leads the pack with a 2.3GHz
Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 processor and 2GB RAM. It has a dimension of 138.5 × 70.9 × 8.9mm with a screen resolution of
1920 × 1080 pixels (423 pixels per inch (ppi)) and an IPS screen.
It is
equipped with a 3000mAh battery to cope with all its power needs. It has two
versions of 16GB and 32GB internal storage. The media is taken care of with a
13MP rear camera and a 2.1MP front camera. Coupled with these is a video
capture of 1080p.
It comes
with Bluetooth v4.0, 802.11 a/ac/b/g/n, dual-band Wi-Fi support. It also comes
with the Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean.
Perhaps the
most unique feature of the new LG G2 is that the volume button and the power
button are located at the back of the phone instead of the side and front. This
was done because LG thinks it will be easier to control the volume of the phone
while picking a call with less risk of the phone dropping to the ground.
The G2 also
come with the “Answer Me” and “KnockOn” features. The Answer Me allows you to
answer a call as soon as you pick it up and put it to your ear. The KnockOn
effect allow you to turn the screen on or off by tapping it twice.

It comes
with “Guest Mode” which allows you to personalize your phone so that you can
unlock or lock it with a pattern. This will protect you against viewing or
deleting important infos especially by children. The “Plug & Pop” mode
display every app and functions supported by the headset when you plug an
headset to it.
No specific
date has been given about when it will be officially on the market but it is
expected to be in the market by November of this year. LG Electronics is the
second largest vendor on the Android platform with a share of 6.5% according to
the latest data by the International Data Corporation (IDC).
