Verizon has confirmed that it will offer the LG G2 on Sept. 12 for $199.99 when signing a new 2-year contract.
The LG G2 is LG's latest flagship smartphone and it offers high-end specs, impressive features, an ultra-thin body, and a unique button setup that makes using the 5.2-inch smartphone very intuitive and easy to use.
"Think of how you typically hold your phone. Do you use one hand, placing three fingers on the back and perhaps your pinky on the bottom, and then use your thumb for scrolling? Which finger do you use to press the power button on the side or the top?
On most smartphones, you'll need to adjust your hand or use your second hand to hit the power button, especially on bigger screens. The new LG G2, however, is designed with the power and volume buttons on the back of the phone, meaning you can use one of your fingers that are already resting on the back of the phone. And if it's lying on a surface, just tap on the screen twice to wake it up; there's no need to lift it up to press the power key," said Verizon spokesman Albert Aydin.
"For the multitaskers out there, the LG G2 can run multiple apps at once. The 5.2-inch full HD IPS display features QSlide, which is like picture-in-picture for your phone, displaying up to two apps in a small window on the screen. You can write email while also viewing your calendar. And with the "Slide Aside" feature, the G2 can easily switch between up to three apps with a three-finger swipe to the right."
The Verizon LG G2 features a 5.2-inch 1080 x 1920 Full HD IPS display with a pixel density of 423 pixels per inch (ppi). It is powered by a 2.26GHz quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 processor and runs Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean.
LG has included a 13-megapixel rear camera with optical image stabilization (OIS) and a 2.1-megapixel front-facing camera for video chat. Its wireless connectivity options include a 4G LTE radio, Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac, Bluetooth 4.0, GPS, and NFC. The G2 will be offered with 16GB of internal storage and will be available in a choice of black or white. It packs in a large 3,000 mAh battery and Verizon's model is the only one that comes with wireless charging out of the box.
The Verizon LG G2 will be available in Verizon's retail stores and online on Sept. 12 for $199.99 when signing a new 2-year contract.
