My thoughts on the new LG G2

The new LG G2 was recently released at a press event in New York City on August 7th, and it has now been released on Sprint, AT&T, T-mobile and Verizon. The G2 is loaded with high end specs.


LG has gone outside the barriers of the traditional phone feel by placing all the buttons on the back of the phone. This risjy move by LG has seen a bit of criticism from people because it will feel different and take a while to get use to, but i think that this wasn't such a bad move for LG to do something "different". In the last year just about every flagship device has been pretty close to the same specs (5 inch, 1080x1920, quad-core Qualcomm based processor and 2GB of RAM) this started with the HTC Droid DNA back in December 9, 2012. When the Driod DNA was released those were incredible specs that were unmatched by any phone on the market at the time, but the the Sony Xperia Z, Samsung Galaxy S4, Oppo Find 5 and HTC One came out with similar specs, the closest thing to innovation that was present in high-end android flagships was the HTC One's brushed aluminium unibody design, which had never been seen on an android phone before.

LG hasn't done anything too out of the ordinary with the specs that they put into the new G2, but none the less they still are very high powered specs. The new G2 comes with a 2.26 GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 Quad-core processor.
