LG sent out invitations for its August 7 event earlier this month , hinting that it would be unveilingthe LG G2 with a coupleof careful letters and numbers in theimage. Now it has fired of another invitation, this time leaving no doubt that it will be showingoff thehandset next month, as well as providing the first official look at thesmartphone.
The invitation states that participants will getto “experience” theLG G2, removing thedoubt no one had at this point that the handsetwill be making its appearance on August 7. This comes shortly after thecompany
confirmedthename of thedevice in a separate announcement, droppingthe “Optimus” tag as many leaks have suggested.
The LG G2 will be kicking off a line of premiumhandsets that all fall under the “G” brand,according to that announcement, with a separate line of handsets falling under the “Vu:” brand. While theevent invitation doesn’t give a particularly detailed look at thedevice, it does confirmthe existence of thebuttons on the back of the handset,which will serve as power and volume rockers.
The unconventional button layout, which we first heard about back inApril, is said to be theresult of how thin the handsetis, with there being no room on the edges for typical button placement. Some suggest thebuttons will serve more than simple power and volume control, but that is yet to be seen.
According to other leaks, the LG G2 will feature a 5.2-inch display, and will run a Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 2.2GHz processor along with 2GB of RAM. There’s said to be a 13-megapixelrear camera, with the software being Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean. You can find out more about what we’ve already heard inthe timeline below, and of course we’ll be here with all the details on August 7.
