Scott: Hi, everyone. Scott Lewis here from WireFly and this is the full review for the
LG G2. The first thing that catches my eye about
the LG G2 is the bright and vibrant 5.2 inch IPS LCD display covered by Corning Gorilla
Glass 2. LG says the reason they use the 5.2 inch display in the G2 is that 5.2 inches
is the largest display that one hand is able to navigate on a smart phone. The LG G2 has
screen resolution of 1080 by 1920, making it a 1080P high definition display with a
pixel density of 423 pixels per inch. The pairing of the large size and crystal clear
HD display makes the G2 the perfect phone for watching and sharing videos.
Pushing graphics through the Adreno 330 GPU is a quad-core 2.3 gigahertz Snapdragon 800
CPU and two gigabytes of RAM. While the G2 comes with 32 gigabytes of on board storage,
it doesn't have the ability to accept a micro SD card for additional storage.
The overall look of the LG G3 is sleek and elegant. With only a micro USB charge port,
3.5 millimeter headphone jack, and a slot to insert a micro SIM card, you might be wondering
where the volume and power button are located. On the back of the phone where your pointer
finger normally sits, you'll see the volume up and down button separated by the power
and sleep button. There volume up and down buttons also act as shortcut keys.
With the phone locked, a long press of the volume up button will launch the notebook.
This is a great place to take take down a task, note, or list to share later. A long
press of the volume down button will launch the camera app so you can quickly capture
a special moment. The Android 4.2.2 operating system, layered
with LG's user interface is very fluid in transitioning from app to app.
Thanks to that beefy 2.3 gigahertz Snapdragon 800 processor, you will never feel like the
LG G2 is lagging behind. One of my favorite features of the LG user
interface is the customization option to choose the layout of the bottom buttons on the screen.
Because you've most likely used a previous phone for around two years, you've gotten
used to the location of the buttons. When changing to a new phone, there is a learning
curve on where each button's located that can be a little frustrating. If you've coming
from a smart phone with a different button layout, you can customize the LG G2 to match
the configuration that you're used to. The camera on the LG G2 is packed with a great
on screen interface, tons of camera settings and adjustments, and optical image stabilization.
On one side of the camera interface, you have the ability to toggle between the front and
rear camera, select the shooting mode you wish to be in, and adjust the white balance
and other options in the settings menu. If you're more of a point and shoot photographer,
the LG G2 has an intelligent auto mode that when turned on, will automatically identify
your scenes characteristics and adjust the aperture, shutter speed, and other settings
to take the best photo possible. On the other side of the camera interface,
you have the ability to toggle from photo to video mode, capture your pictures with
the shutter button, or go to the image gallery to view previous pictures or videos.
The duel access optical image stabilization moves the lens independently from the body
of the phone to help compensate for accidental shake while taking pictures. The LG G2 automatically
and precisely adjusts so your photos and videos are clear with less shake. Here are some image
and video samples from the LG G2's 13 mega pixel 1080P video recording primary camera.
Here's our sample video from the LG G2. This also has optical image stabilization, so let's
go ahead and take a walk to see how the shake comes out. I'm not doing anything special
to try and hold it any steadier than I normally would with a normal camera. On the display,
it looks like the optical image stabilization is working really well. We'll see how it comes
out on the final video. Those were our sample photos and video from
the G2. Overall, the LG G2 is a solid phone that I'd
recommend to a novice or an advanced smart phone user. The G2 has all the adjustments
that a seasoned Android smart phone user wants, while also delivering a great experience for
the novice user that just wants to pick up the phone and use it right out of the box.
