LG just launched its latest flagship smartphone, the LG G2. Verizon is offering it for $199.99, but a new deal from Amazon brings the price down to $149.99.
The LG G2 is a unique smartphone in terms of both hardware and software. The handset includes a gorgeous edge-to-edge 5.2-inch Full HD 1920 x 1080 display. It also uses the latest 2.26GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 processor and 2GB of RAM to provide a snappy user experience. LG designed the G2 with a unique feature: the company moved the power and volume buttons to the back of the device, making it easier to control with one hand. LG has also included its own software enhancements on top of Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean that will make tasks easier and help you be more productive in the process. Some of these features include:
- Toggle between three different apps for easy access with Slide Aside.
- Run multiple apps at once on top of another application. With QSlide 2.0, making a list and adding a to-do on your calendar can be done while you browse the web.
- Instantly capture a screen image, then add comments and drawings using QuickMemo before sharing your picture.
- At home, you can convert G2 into a programmable remote for your infrared devices with Quick Remote. Use it to operate compatible TVs, sound systems and more. With G2, your remote stays with you.
- Wake up the G2 by tapping twice on its display with KnockON, or answer calls simply by moving this smartphone to your ear with Answer Me.
- With Guest Mode, friends and family can borrow your phone without disrupting your settings. Limit the apps guests can access by using a specific pattern on the LG G2 lock screen.
