LG G2

LG has managed to gain a niche in the sector of high-end smartphones thanks to its good work. The LG Optimus G was already a success and the Korean manufacturer wants to repeat with it LG G2, a phone that stands up to its rivals in the high-end market.

But can the LG G2 really stand up to heavy hitters like Sony's Z1 or Samsung's S4? Seeing its design and its features, I already tell you that the LG G2 is a very interesting option to consider.

LG G2 design

The design of the LG G2 is really attractive, it shows that the designers have looked for some very attractive finishes. To begin with, LG has achieved that a terminal with a 5.2 inch have the dimensions of a 5-inch device. How have you achieved this milestone? Dividing the panel into two parts, so that the front of the device is almost exclusively for the screen, which makes handling the phone really comfortable.

With a weight of 143 grams and measures 138.5 mm high, 70,9 long and 8.9 mm wide, the truth is that the LG G2 is a comfortable and handy phone. Its body is made up of a plastic casing, which together with a metal edge that joins the body to the screen of the device, giving the LG G2 a pleasant touch and a feeling of a premium terminal.

And what about the buttons on the back? Yes, the LG G2 has the power and volume control buttons on the back of the phone, I will not deny that at first it is very strange to use them. Although after a few days you get used to it. Anyway, LG allows you to lock and unlock the phone by clicking twice on the screen, making it a very comfortable option. But changing the position of the buttons does not bother me.

Finally note that the LG G2 is available in two colors: black and white

Screen

LG has done a great job with the display of the LG G2. Its 5.2-inch panel with Gorilla Glass 2 protection has a 1080p resolution and a 423 dpi density, higher even than that of the Samsung Galaxy Note 3. In this way, reading multimedia content is a delight.

We can't forget about your True-IPS panel that offers us intense and balanced colors, as well as a very good overall brightness. Its angle of view is more than enough and it can handle a sunny day without messing up.

LG G2 with Qualcomm Snapdragon 800

Qualcomm is still the fetish processor of the big manufacturers. In this way the LG G2 beats thanks to the model Snapdragon 800 at 2.26GHz of power, which together with its 2GB of RAM and its Adreno 330MP GPU make this device a high-end terminal.

One of the few things I don't like about the LG G2 is its internal storage. And is that the new Korean beast It is available in two versions, 16 and 32GB of ROM memory, although it cannot be expanded via microSD cards. A failure that can throw back lovers of multimedia content.

Finally your 3.000mAh battery It gives the LG G2 autonomy superior to its rivals. It will last you 10 hours of intense use without problems, something that its rivals cannot even imagine. As usual in high-end terminals, the LG G2 has LTE connectivity.

OIS stabilizer camera

The LG G2 integrates a rear camera with a 13 megapixel sensor, so far the usual in a high-end. But when we see its optical stabilizer in the system, the new nine-point focus system, which gives the sensor an incredible speed, and its brightness of f2.4, we see that the camera is one of the LG G2's strengths.

With a simple and intuitive interface its camera with flash allows you to make videos in 4K quality, in addition to having HDR mode, panorama, burst (with 20 shots in a row), night mode, autofocus… Let's go, the camera section is very complete.

Less complete is its front camera, which stays at 2.1 megapixels, somewhat fair in my opinion, although you will be recognized without problems if you make a video call.

Software

Here, as has become customary for the Seoul-based company, the issue of operating system updates is once again its Achilles heel. In this way the LG G2 comes standard with Android 4.2.2, although luckily you can now update to the latest version of Google's operating system.

LG has added some very interesting applications, in addition to a small layer of its own that allows us, by pressing with three fingers on the screen, to use up to three applications at the same time in multitasking mode.

They also include again QuickRemote, which through the IR sensor that it integrates allows us to use the phone to control any multimedia equipment. In addition, the phone detects when we stop watching a video and it stops until we look again.

Another interesting option is the Guest mode, that allows us to choose a unique pattern, in addition to deciding which applications can be run to whom we lend our phone.

In short, a very complete phone at a really attractive price: the LG G2 costs 499 euros.
