When it comes to these monster phones, there's no denying that each of these flagship handsets pack state-of-the-art hardware that's more than capable of handling the most demanding computing tasks: multitasking, Full HD videos, and even 3D gaming. We run these smartphones through the paces to find those little features that differentiate one handset from the other.
LG G2
The G2 boasts a 5.2-inch screen with wide viewing angles; its display is capable of rendering crisp text and accurate colours. Besides, top-notch brightness levels ensure legibility even in direct sunlight. The handset ticks all the right boxes when it comes to its shooter. It records sharply-focussed videos - and photos look good with true colours, and just the right amount of contrast. In less than optimum light, it tends to smooth over details, and low-light images suffer from some noise. The G2 is equipped with an infrared sensor and a 'remote' app, which can be configured to control TVs, set-top boxes, etc.
Despite a Full HD screen, the G2's battery lasts for 15 to 16 hours when used with a 3G connection. The G2's shell is fabricated out of glossy plastic, which neither looks premium nor feels good to hold. No expandable memory so you're limited by just the internal 16/32GB storage. The device's volume and power buttons are placed on its back cover, which aren't as intuitive to use. Volume during calls is also on the lower side. When used with a good pair of earphones, however, the G2 works on par with a good MP3 player.
Except for its placement of buttons and glossy plastic build, the LG G2 gets most things right. If you're looking for a feature-packed, compact smartphone that does not seem too large in your hands, this one could be it.
