Now that LG has released its 2013 hero smartphone in the LG G2, it’s time to hit the specifications battleground. What we’re doing here on SlashGear first is taking on not just the Samsung Galaxy S 4, but the Motorola Moto X as well, aiming to give you an idea of the range of devices […]

For the past couple of months, we’ve been hearing a lot of noise from LG regarding its upcoming G2 Android smartphone. Within the last 24 hours, the rumor mill has been going strong as we’ve seen press shots of the LG G2 leak as well as its manual among other things. But today, we finally unveiled the G2.

First off – let’s get the specs out of the way. The LG G2 is equipped with a 2.26GHz quad-core Snapdragon 800 processor, 2GB LPDDR3 800MHz RAM, 32GB of internal storage, 5.2-inch IPS display with 1920 x 1080 Full HD resolution, 13MP main camera, 2.1MP front-facing camera and 3,000mAh battery.

We just got some hands-on with the LG’s new flagship, the G2. It’s a phone that has everything going for it, except for the using it part.

No non-Nexus Android phone is complete without a pile of obnoxious helpful unique software features. LG’s G2 is no different; it adds a bunch more customizations and apps to the company’s existing suite. Plug & Pop automatically suggests apps and tasks when you plug in headphones or a USB cable, while Slide Aside lets you quickly dismiss running apps with a simple three-finger swipe. KnockON isn’t exactly new, but it’s definitely one of the more intriguing and simple twists on the standard Android UI: instead of hitting a power button you simply tap twice on the display to wake the G2 from its sleep. It’s a nice convenience that goes hand-in-hand with Answer Me, which automatically answers calls when you put the phone to your ear, just like an old-school wired telephone. There’s even QuickRemote, which can not only control home entertainment systems, but a whole range of devices, thanks to its ability to “learn” from standard IR remotes. There’s also a guest mode, for when you want to hand the phone over to a friend or your child, though, Guest Mode does nothing to stop their sticky little fingers from leaving goo on your screen.

It seems that LG has a trio of devices that will be making its way towards T-Mobile, and they are the recently announced flagship, the LG G2 (as seen above), the LG Optimus F6 and the LG Optimus F3. This would mean the LTE device lineup has just been bumped up, and according to a certain Jason Young, vice president of product marketing, T-Mobile, “Customers are going to love the uniqueness that each LG LTE device offers – the G2 is innovative with its ergonomic and intuitive rear key design; the Optimus F6 is stylish, fast and full-featured; and the Optimus F3 is our most affordable LTE Android-powered smartphone. Coupled with T-Mobile’s unlimited data, low-up-front costs and speedy nationwide network, any one of these smartphones is going to be a great option for our customers.”

It was announced at the end of last month that the Optimus F3 would arrive on T-Mobile, and today’s announcement is a reiteration of what was mentioned then, and I guess the main “star” of the attraction would be the spanking new LG G2, which has seen the Optimus moniker dropped and yet maintaining its position as the flagship device from South Korean consumer electronics giant LG.
