Obviously, it is the first smartphone of LG that ditched the “Optimus” brand name, opting for a two-character label, which understandably was intended to make the smartphone name easy to remember.

Another obvious feature the LG G2 has is its very narrow bezel that allows for the 5.2-inch screen to almost hug the sides of the smartphone. A bigger screen is a major advantage for smartphone users wanting to use the device as a media player.

LG G2 was officially launched September 25 at Solaire Resort and Casino.

“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.

Describing the new smartphone as “human-inspired,” Kim said it will revolutionize the highly competitive smartphone industry with its innovative features.

“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.”
