Additional design, hardware, UX
LG G2’s groundbreaking design stems from behavioral studies and features the world’s first Rear Key, which is used for switching on and off, activating LG’s QuickMemoTM, and launching the 13-megapixel Full HD camera. The device sports a 5.2-inch Full HD IPS display for superior graphics and contains the industry’s most powerful battery capacity at 3,000 mAh siO+. It also boasts of the industry’s first 24 bit/192kHz Hi-Fi sound playback for studio-quality audio.
Upgrades have been made in the user experience (UX) features already found in previous LG smartphones, such as QuickMemoTM, QuickTranslator, QuickRemote, Audio Zoom, Dual Camera, and Dual Recording. The LG G2 also incorporates new and practical UX features such as KnockON, which turns the display on or off by tapping twice with a finger; Guest Mode, which protects the owner’s privacy by displaying only pre-selected apps when guests access the phone; and Answer Me, which automatically answers the call after lowering the ringtone when the phone is raised to one’s ear.
“LG G2 is the pinnacle innovation in the current line-up of LG Mobile,” Lawrence Kim, vice president of LG Electronics Philippines’ Mobile Communications division, stated. “Its key message ‘Learning from You’ incorporates a number of revolutionary consumer- based components that are set to become trendsetters in today’s smartphone market, shaping the smartphone of choice worldwide.”
