LG put their heads together to try add some innovation to how we use our phone. The back buttons for volume, power, and camera, is something so small and random, that I actually tilted my head to the side and nodded thinking that is not a bad feature at all. After all, that is where our index finger ends up holding the phone, so why not through some buttons back there? Here are a list of other features you will find in the G2.
- Answer Me — Automatically answers the call after lowering the ringtone when the phone is raised to one’s ear.
- Plug & Pop — Recommends options or related features to choose from when the earphone or USB cable is detected.
- Text Link — Allows information embedded in text messages to be selected and easily saved in a memo or calendar and searched on a map or the internet.
- QuickRemote — Not only can LG G2 be used to remotely control popular home entertainment devices, it can also learn from conventional remotes and be customized to operate multiple devices with flexible layouts and keys.
- Slide Aside — Enables easier multitasking by simply “sliding†open apps off to the side using a three-finger swipe.
- Guest Mode — Protects owner’s privacy by displaying only pre-selected apps when guests access the phone with a secondary unlock pattern.
The LG G2 will hit the four major carriers in the coming weeks, and pricing was not announced quite yet. Let us know if you are planning on picking one up.
