LG G2 Review

LG G2 is a very complete cellphone released some years ago, in 2013, with an extremely fast Quad-Core processor running at 2.26 GHz, a quite big 5.2 inches capacitive screen, and two cameras, a 13 mega-pixels back facing camera and a 2.1 MP front-facing camera.

LG made a great design job making this phone weight just 5.04 ounces. The LG G2 is a very compact cellphone, taking into consideration it features a 5.2 inches screen and it is only 5.45 inches long. Being just 0.35" thick,the LG G2 is thin and good-looking. LG offers this phone in black and white.

LG decided to build the LG G2 using a Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 MSM8974 chip, packing a very fast Quad-Core processing unit ticking at 2.26 gigahertz and a great 2 GB of RAM. Graphic rendering usually consume a lot of processing power, so it also counts with a 450 megahertz Adreno 330 GPU to take care of them, leaving the processor free for other tasks. A key aspect of the LG G2 is its big 32 GB internal storage memory and an external memory card slot, enough to install hundreds of applications and even the largest games available nowadays without worrying about filling the cellphone.

LG equipped this phone with a incredible 5.2-inches screen, and a resolution of 1920 x 1080 (Full HD), making everything look absolutely great. This screen uses IPS LCD capacitive technology, with a good 450 candela/m2 brightness and allows multi-touch for gestures like pinch and zoom.

This cellphone is equipped with two cameras, a 13 mega-pixels back camera and a 2.1 megapixels front-facing camera. Although it's 13 megapixels might appear great the back camera has a very little 0.326797" sensor which makes photos have less details and worse lighting than you would expect. The LG G2 can also shoot videos in 1920x1080 (Full HD) at 60 frames per second. This device also features a large number of great features like flash, fast burst mode, auto-focus, face detection shooting, optical image stabilization, HDR mode and geo tagging.

This cellphone has wifi capability (and it can provide it to other devices around, acting as a mobile hotspot), 4G (LTE) fast connection and also HSPA+ data connection, a lower speed 4G variation and the fastest 3G connection type, over HSDPA, HSUPA and EDGE technologies. This device works with a Micro SIM card for GSM services and it can connect using both GSM and CDMA networks.

This cellphone uses a big capacity 3000 mAh Li-Polymer non-removable battery, enough to provide the LG G2 with an incredibly long battery duration. LG afirms this phone has a stand by time of 826 hs and a talk time of 34.3 hours. An issue to take into account is that the LG G2's battery is non-removable so you can't change it when it starts to lose its charge, even though with such a great capacity you will probably discard this phone before that becomes a real problem.

This cellphone also includes many great characteristics as Wireless charger compatibility, NFC, Infrared Transmitter, Bluetooth (4.0) and GPS Localization, and multiple sensors like Light Sensor, Proximity Sensor, Accelerometer, Gyroscope and Compass.

This phone is priced around 150 dollars, which is similar to other same level phones. No matter if you will use it as a work cellphone, you love taking photos, will use it as a gamer phone or need a cellphone to majorly use social networks, you will definitely love this device.
