He LG G2 is the beastly smartphone and it was LG’s answer to 2013’s Samsung Galaxy S4 and HTC One. It’s a large, yet not unwieldy, smartphone brimming with specs that would make the most discerning geeks drool.
LG has been a distant cry from where Samsung and HTC have found themselves in terms of popularity and smartphone ownership, although with the Nexus 4, Nexus 5 and LG G2 now under its belt the Korean firm has got itself back on the smartphone map.
While it’s now been succeeded by the LG G3 and its stunning QHD display, the G2 is still available and at a cracking price making it a really great option if you’re on a bit more of a budget.
In fact, with a SIM-free price of around £330 it’s at least £150 cheaper than the 2014 flagship brigade, and while it may not sport Qualcomm’s latest Snapdragon 801 chip it still has the strong 800 version, a full HD display and Android 4.4.2 KitKat.It comes in 16GB and 32GB variants, with 2GB RAM backing up that meaty processor, while connectivity includes Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, NFC, an IR blaster on the top of the G2 and 4G LTE.
Overall, the design of the LG G2 is nice, with the exception of the placement of the power and volume buttons. And although I’m not particularly fond of an all-plastic body, it’s not so bad and I found the G2 to be a well built, solid device.
