It’s hard to create a flagship smartphone that stands out from the crowd.

Is the LG G2 going to be that ideal competitor to the feature-rich Galaxy S4?

Or has LG spent too much time packing in specs and not enough time on refinement?

The LG G2 (AT&T model LG-D800) used in this review was kindly provided byNegri Electronics.

After you’ve adjusted to the unusual positioning, it actually becomes really comfortable to use.

The handset is comfortable to hold thanks to the curved design.

The top edge has a small IR LED to facilitate the TV control functionality, along with a microphone.

Display

Each year, smartphone display technologies reach new milestones.

In 2013 we saw the introduction of 1080p, alongside significant improvements in both AMOLED and LCD panel quality.

LG’s 5.2-inch IPS display used on the G2 occupies 74.5 sq.

cm, which is approximately 76% of the machine’s front panel.

The screen also features a polarization layer for increased visibility in direct sunlight.

Generally speaking I was impressed with how the display can be seen outdoors.
