With innovative audio and design features, the Verizon LG G2 smartphone is a 4G Android handset which delivers one of the fastest smartphone processors of all time, a large high-resolution display, one of the highest pixel densities ever measured on a mobile handset and a slew of other popular features and hardware. The handset is also going to celebrate the 2014 New Year running on Big Red with a price tag that is usually reserved for entry-level smartphones and budget handsets.
The LG G2, Black is available for a reduced sale price now starting at $49.99 – $649.00.
The LG G2 running on the Verizon US 4G network which is accessible by more than 90% of Americans will currently set you back around $14.99 on contract, when purchased at the Amazon Wireless store online. This nearly free retail price tag belies the capabilities and features the handset offers. With volume and power buttons uniquely placed on the back of the phone, LG found that this resulted in many fewer drops, extending the life, not to mention the physical appearance, of your handset. Those buttons are located directly below the 13.0 megapixel camera on the back of the phone.
Since your fingers generally support the back of the phone as you are using it, this placement actually makes a lot of sense. In another innovative effort, LG has decided to give the Verizon G2 smartphone a much better audio profile than is generally found on a mobile handset. 2.0 GB of RAM memory and a powerful Snapdragon 800 processor help ensure fluid, speedy and efficient game play and video viewing, but they also support HD multichannel audio, Dolby Mobile sound enhancement, a full-featured Stereo FM radio with RDS display capabilities and 24-bit/192 kHz Hi-Fi playback that exactly reproduces studio quality sound (superior to CD-quality).
Slim at just 0.35 inches (8.9 mm), the LG G2 running on Verizon also delivers a unique Audio Zoom feature. Another advanced sound feature, Audio Zoom employs special stereo microphones that amplify sound and cut back on surrounding noise while you are recording video, and also extend this focused audio during playback. The main camera with this feature is the one located on the back of the handset, which records video in 1,080P HD resolution. A front facing chat cam is also on board.
The phone boasts a 5.2 inch Full HD-IPS + LCD capacitive touchscreen, and recently received support for a Split View display application which allows you to create two smaller mini-screens on the LG G2, meaning you can work on two different processes or applications at the same time. Resolution runs 1,080 x 1,920 pixels, delivered at 423 pixels per inch. An Adreno 330 GPU handles all graphics processing, the LG G2 contains 32 GB of built-in storage, and can enjoy up to 18.2 hours of all-around usage after a full battery charge.
The LG G2, Black can be purchased at a discounted price tag now starting at $49.99 – $649.00.
