There are photos and a video appeared of the LG Optimus G2, an unannounced Android smartphone from LG. The footage shows a device that is somewhat reminiscent of the Nexus 4, the phone that LG together with Google made.
So do, among others, the appearance of the front of the phone and the edge to the side thinking to the design of the Nexus 4, which LG last year Google made. Just like with the Nexus 4 buttons are placed on the screen instead of below it. In addition, the manufacturer or for a private styling chosen: the buttons feature a black background, but depending on the app, a transparent or light background. Also is the third button on the screen is not a shortcut to quickly of app, but a Menu button. The pictures published by Engadget, YouTube user 4Leakz posted after the video.
The footage also shows that the volume buttons on the back are placed around the camera lens. That suggests that they have a double function in the camera. How LG wants to prevent users from a lot of fingerprints they leave on the lens, is unclear.
The Optimus G2, according to previous rumors a 5.2″display with a resolution of 1920×1080 pixels. It would go to an ips-lcd that LG produces. The device runs on a Qualcomm Snapdragon 800, as can be deduced from the photos. This soc, with model number MSM8974, combines four Krait 400-processor cores at up to 2.2 GHz and a new Adreno 330 gpu. The ram of the phone would be 2GB in size.
The phone runs according to the screenshots on Android 4.2.2 with LG’s own skin over it. That skin seems not much updated compared to how he is on recent devices such as the current Optimus G. The device will probably on 7 August, during a press event in New York will be presented.
