What do we know so far about the LG G2?

If you’re just tuning in, we’re just an hour away from LG’s big reveal happening in New York as they debut their new franchise centerpiece, the G2. And while we’re still waiting for the official announcement, we thought of sharing with you some of the things we can probably expect from the upcoming hero device.

In the design department, it’s been speculated that the handset’s volume rockers will be situated at the back of the G2, just below the camera module. The latest official press photos courtesy of @evleaks suggests that this rumor is true as seen in the image below:

Now whether that design scheme is gonna be a hit or a miss for consumers is still left to be seen. We’re just hoping that LG can come up with a good reason for putting it there apart from just trying to be different like they did with the Optimus Vu.

Next up we have the innards which, according to rumors, will consist of the top-of-the-line Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 quad-core SoC, 2GB of RAM and battery pack that’s rated at 2540mAh. As expected from a flagship handset in today’s standards, the G2 will run on Jelly Bean version 4.2.2 out of the box which will be displayed on its 5.2-inch 1080p screen.

LG G2 (rumored) specs:
5.2-inch IPS display, 1920×1080 @423ppi
2.3GHz Snapdragon 800 quad-core SoC
Adreno 330 GPU
2GB RAM
13MP AF rear camera w/ LED flash
Optical Image Stabilization
1080p video recording
LTE Advance radio
Wireless Charging support
2540mAh battery
Android 4.2.2

LG’s G2 event will start at 23:00 local time and will be livestreamed on LG Philippine’s Facebook page. We’ll be keeping a close eye on the event as it happens and we’ll be bringing you all the action so stay tune for that.

What I assume to happen so far:

LG is going to suck at distribution and delay the local release until around February next year, December if you’d be generous.

It happened to the first G, it also happened to the G Pro (April global release, local release just last month). Going by this trend, it can happen again.

The only time there wasn’t much of a gap was when they released the L-Series II, but we’re comparing flagships to budget phones here.

Not exactly the same thing when you think about the availability of parts they shoved into those L-Series II phones (I mean, a 2-year old Snapdragon S1 single-core chipset. a similarly-old Mediatek chip you can find on a budget China Android phone and a budget Snapdragon S4 dual-core also installed in a PhP4k cheaper phone from a local brand – you may disagree, but the hardware inside those phones scream “LOW-END!” to me).

Better hurry up LG, before that well-earned cash goes to the S4 or some other flagship phone.
