It is getting more and more complicated to launch a Smartphone with some standout attribute, something more than simpler larger screens and quicker processors.

Design and build

 

 

 

The face of the LG G2 seems like to the Samsung Galaxy S4, even though it boasts no physical or touch sensitive keys beneath the screen. Nevertheless, spin it over and the receiver appears unique.
