What do we know so far about the LG G2?

If you’re just tuning in, we’re just an hour away from LG’s big reveal happening in New York as they debut their new franchise centerpiece, the G2. And while we’re still waiting for the official announcement, we thought of sharing with you some of the things we can probably expect from the upcoming hero device.

In the design department, it’s been speculated that the handset’s volume rockers will be situated at the back of the G2, just below the camera module. The latest official press photos courtesy of @evleaks suggests that this rumor is true as seen in the image below:

Now whether that design scheme is gonna be a hit or a miss for consumers is still left to be seen. We’re just hoping that LG can come up with a good reason for putting it there apart from just trying to be different like they did with the Optimus Vu.

Next up we have the innards which, according to rumors, will consist of the top-of-the-line Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 quad-core SoC, 2GB of RAM and battery pack that’s rated at 2540mAh. As expected from a flagship handset in today’s standards, the G2 will run on Jelly Bean version 4.2.2 out of the box which will be displayed on its 5.2-inch 1080p screen.
