LG Mobile Communications Indonesia has introduced the LG G2 , a new flagship smartphone in Indonesia. LG G2 has its own uniqueness in terms of design , especially the placement of the button . Instead of bringing present design is nearly similar to other smartphones , the company is sitting in the top three mobile phone manufacturers actually appear bold by placing the volume control button and the standby button on the back . This is the other specifications of the LG G2 :Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean
1080p 5.2 -inch IPS display ( maximum brightness level of 450 nits )
Thickness of 8.9 mm
SoC 800 quadcore 2.26 GHz Snapdragon , Adreno 330 GPU
2GB of RAM , 16/32GB of internal storage
13MP camera with Optical Image Stabilization ( OIS ) and a 2.1 MP front camera
1080p video recording at 60 fps framerate
Audio output 24 bit/192kHz
3000 mAh battery ( non - removable )
See spec above is certainly very reasonable if you expect a lot from the LG G2 . Check out more details below
Impression Design and Materials
One of the things that was a bit disappointing from G2 is the use of plastic materials , unlike its predecessor , the Optimus G which uses glass materials . The design itself is not as rigid as Optimus G to appear before him . G2 does not mean the design is not good , but like previous LG Optimus G Pro feels good design , especially the back cover . G2 is finishing his own good as well as the mobile phone has made similar competitors . Ergonomically also quite good , though sometimes feels quite prominent corner next to him and did not follow the hand grip .
LG logo move downward , unaccompanied by physical buttons at all . Like the LG Optimus M Pro , viewed from the front , very noticeable when the screen 5.2 inch G2 extremely fulfilling the front . I was so full , body size LG G2 with a 5.2 inch screen can even match the Samsung Galaxy S3 is only 4.8 inches . This is a very positive thing , thus the use of one hand G2 will not differ much from mobile phones with screens under 5 inches .
Material behind it has orange peel pattern as found in the LG Prada , but does not stand out , so full flat . While the camera , lock button , volume eccentric location , as well as the LG logo adds a premium for this phone . For the speaker himself is at the bottom of the phone , it looks like there are two loudspeakers , but the left is not the speaker but rather serves as a mic , like the iPhone 5 . This phone parts rear cover can not be opened , so the battery is not removable . No micro SD slot , while the micro SIM slot is on the top left , opened the driver's license system Injector .
LG G2 uses the tagline '' Learning From You '' , one realization is the intuitive use of the back button . At first you might be confused , but after a while you will actually feel a lot of benefits on the power / lock and volume that is behind this . Because your forefinger naturally exists in the part when you are holding the phone . It's just really a flaw . Suppose that when the state of the landscape screen , such as watching a movie , so difficult if you set the volume . Or if the phone is on the table , to set the volume inevitably you have to lift the handset . To lock / unlock the phone , can use gestures luckily knock twice on the screen
screen
As one of the biggest screens in the world , has been a tradition for LG IPS screen to immerse yourself products for superior smartphone products . No exception Optimus G Pro that has a screen resolution of full HD (1920x1080 pixels ) 5.2 inches in diagonal , so that the screen density 423 pixels per inch reach . Its own IPS screen quality is very good and includes eye candy . There are no symptoms of over - brightness like Optimus G , white color looks natural than the AMOLED screen on the Galaxy S line / Note , however, the impact so slightly bluish than Optimus G. The black color also looks good and is very dark for non - AMOLED screen size . Point of view / viewing angle is not perfect , but it do not matter .
LG has not a lot of settings for the display . But as before there are two features of the Smart Screen and Smart Video . Smart Screen guard screen stays on even if you set the screen timeout time , if in a certain period of time the camera detects your eyes still look to the screen , the screen will not die . While Smart Video automatically stop the video being played when the camera detects you do not look at the screen . Both of these features work well , as long as the camera is able to '' see '' and detects your eye . In Smart Video features even just glance away from the screen just pause the video . For brightness , while in Auto - set you can still adjust the brightness of the screen.
interface
LG is one of the vendors who faithfully presents a variety of features on the flagship , for example, just Optimus G and G Optimus Pro . Of course G2 as their main hero was given a similar treatment . LG G2 marketed with the tagline '' Learning from you'' and does have some usability features for your day-to - day activities . Regarding performance should not be questioned , LG G2 has ultimate current hardware spec . Very rare to find any lag .
On the lockscreen , you can tap the screen twice in screen off state , to wake the phone . Or it could be that eccentric lock button is on the back of the phone . There are several sorts of interesting effects that can be selected during a swipe at lockscreen : ripple , dewdrop , white holes , particle and crystal . These effects each has a different sound . You can add 5 pieces lockscreen shortcuts on the screen . For access to the camera , you can slide the screen to the right edge to the left .
Homescreen has 5 screens by default 5 pieces , from a maximum of 7 pieces . You can change themes , wallpaper , swipe effects , looping and enables landscape mode on the 5.2 inch screen mobile phone . Interestingly , Home settings can be backed up and restored . More interestingly, the LG G2 has Front Touch Button settings , from the standard ( Back + Home + Menu ) , ala Samsung ( Menu + Home + Back ) to pull the notification or the addition of access keys QuickMemo . Not only that , you can memilihlatar behind the front touch buttons , whether transparent , white or black .
Hold down the Home button for a few moments then you will be brought to the Task Manager . LG G2 features a 3 finger gestures , to move applications quickly , swipe the phone screen using 3 fingers simultaneously.
The main menu can be applied to a different wallpaper from the lockscreen . Size of application icons in it can be transformed into a larger , 5x5 became 4x5.Bar notification has quickly access settings (quick toggle ) to activate Quick Memo , Qslide , sound , data, and so on ( so many options available for quick setting ) . At notification bar there is also the option to choose the applications that will be Qslide but still not as much choice Multi Windows features on rival devices . Then there is the brightness level settings and setting the sound level . There is a shortcut to the settings menu but a bit small so we tend to push even one press access to the sound settings .
QSlide
Qslide equal to G Pro and Optimus G , there is a maximum of 2 windows , so in total there are 3 apps running at once ( including apps that run full screen ) . The amount of space for each application can be changed , so did the level of transparency ( overlay functions ) , no bar to adjust the level of transparency in each application Qslide . But unfortunately only a default application that supports Qslide , though it was much more than G and G Optimus Pro , the Video , Internet , Phone , Messaging , Email , File Manager , Memo , Calendar and Calculator . Phone performance when running Qslide functions tend to remain smooth , not surprising considering the use 2GB of RAM and a processor on the G2 class .
Quick Memo
This is one of the excellent features that almost always exist in LG 's flagship smartphone , since Optimus 4X , Vu , G and G Pro . Unlike the memo / note on the Galaxy Note ( first screenshot , the new edit ) here you can directly edit the screen just by opening the notification bar , select Quick Memo in quick toggle and the screen is ready for was often painted . Want more easily ? Just choose the options that come with the front touch button access key shortcut Qmemo . Any screen that is ready to be shown was often painted . There are several types of graffiti tools ie pen , markers and highlighters . Indeed, the features and quality losing streak with a Galaxy Note , but Quick Memo app is much more practical . For example , this feature can be used as an overlay ( non-switch - graffiti in graffiti but you still look at the interface ) , so for example when you are told by your friends account number , the faster you can type it in the first Quick Memo that can be directly crossed with finger , then copied or written in the phonebook .Guest Mode
There are times when your cell phone borrowed by friends or family. If there is something which you do not want to be seen by them , you can use this feature Guest Mode . So the phone will use the lockscreen Pattern models , but there are two Pattern that can be stored . Pattern only for your own ( everything is open as usual ) one more Pattern specific to the borrower . Then you can choose which applications are allowed to see , where else should not be seen by the borrower . The entire application on the phone can be put in the list of applications that should / should not be seen .
Phonebook and Messaging
LG divides the contacts in the phone into 3 categories, Groups , contacts and favorites lists . Contacts can be synchronized with your Gmail account or social network accounts such as Facebook , Twitter and others. In doing a search , edit and add contacts are all easy to do . Each contact can add photos and special ringtone . There is a feature Screen Zooming on the contact list . You can pinch the screen to the outside and the inside to increase or decrease font ukutan . In addition there are features Answer Me . When there is a call , you do not have to press the lift button , simply put the phone earpiece into your ear and automatically calls you receive .
Messaging in G2 no SMS, Email and Instant Messaging . SMS is easy to use as well as other Android phones , there are threaded format . Themes is a unique feature , you can choose a background threaded SMS with several options. In addition there is an option to capture spam . While you can use a Gmail email that has many similar features as the desktop version . Of course you can also use other email client . Screen zooming feature is present on the SMS and email , but not the Gmail app . As for Instant Messaging available is Google Hangouts , other than that you can add as an alternative to Google PlayStore Line , WhatsApp , IM and so on .
input Text
As usual there are two kinds of modes of inputting text that Google Voice Typing and LG keyboard , where you can change themes and keyboard model settings , separate ( Split Keyboard ) mode as well as left or right side for one-handed typing easier . One hand typing on LG G2 is still possible , although a large sail but the body is not too wide due to a very thin bezel is very helpful.
camera
The camera is one of the flagship features of the LG G2 , how not , 13MP rear camera resolution are equipped with Optical Image Stabilization ( OIS ) , although if the OIS extreme wobble is not too helpful , but at least when you shoot using one hand this feature is very helpful . Volume down button itself can be used as a substitute for a camera shutter , so the self-portrait with the camera so much easier . LG claims G2 rear camera lens is protected by a sapphire crystal for strong durability from scratches and dirt better fingerprints .
There are various modes in the photograph , simply complete than previous LG phones . The modes include:
Normal , Shot & Clear , Dynamic Tone ( HDR ) and Intelligent Auto
VR Panorama and Panorama
Shoot Burst , Beauty Shot , Time Catch Shot ( shooting shortly and after the shutter button is pressed , so you do not lose the moment )
dual Camera
Sport and Night
While the features and settings also did not lose much , such as :
Cheese Shutter ( photographed using a voice command such as cheese , smile , whiskey , kimchi , LG )
brightness , setting the focus mode ( auto , manual , face tracking ) , color effects , ISO level , white balance , and resolution
timer
geotagging
Shutter sound and volume settings key ( can to take photos , it could be for zooming )
Of the camera was once no improvement over the Optimus G and G Optimus Pro . In the room the results have been pretty good . For outdoor fairly natural . More details you can download at this link for the results of the original photo , or click the thumbnails below to enlarge .
Video Recorder
Utilizing the ability Snapdragon 800 , LG G2 is capable of recording Full HD video in 60fps framerate . There are several modes in video recording , among other things : Normal , Live Effects ( object reshaped into big-eyed , big mouth and so on ) , Dual Recording and Tracking Zoom ( choose most of the viewfinder area to be zoomed while recording video ) .
Generally known that to record video with 60fps high speed to the maximum , need bright lighting . We tried to record 60fps video in the room but the results are not optimal and not much different from the 30fps mode . When tested in outdoor (daytime ) so the maximum result . Movement of motorcycles and other objects that move so smooth . Because Youtube can not display 60fps mode , you have to download this link to see the video of the LG G2 1080p 60fps . Files generated 1080p 60fps video itself is 110MB per 30 seconds duration video .
Normal video mode itself has 20 thousand kbps bitrate , framerate 29fps with a file size of 144MB and 1 minute for the duration of the video recording . The results are good, clear and quite natural , more details watch the video below:
Photo Gallery
Photo gallery also includes video album to use the standard Android slightly altered by LG , using a white background . Photo shared by Album , location and date of capture . As in the contacts and SMS , Screen zooming feature is also present here , so you can vary the size of thumbnail images with pinch to zoom . You can rename files , rotate the photo , do the cropping , simple to edit and display the image details are pretty much like camera model , focal length , ISO settings and others. Photos can instantly be shared via Bluetooth , email , social networking and others .Video player
LG G2 uses a dedicated video player . All videos are readable by mobile phones is collected here , you can see it by folder , list and grid ( thumbnail ) . Video formats that can be played with up to 1080p resolution smooth quite varied : mkv , wmv , avi and mp4 . Subtitle format . Srt can be displayed , with some features and settings such as synchronization , font size and color . As in the application of MX Video Player , you can adjust the brightness of the screen while watching a video , with a vertical sweep motion . The touch screen can also be locked when playing video . Other features , change the aspect ratio of the video and of course minimize Qslide video with features so you can watch videos while doing other activities , complete with overlay feature / setting the transparency level .
Music Player
Not only MP3 files can be played LG G2 . This smartphone is also capable of playing . Flac with HiFi quality ( 24 bit , 192kHz ) .
