LG to start shipping the G2 mini in April
The G2 mini's far from being a perfect smartphone specimen, but LG's hoping it has what it takes to compete in developing markets when it comes out in April. That's right -- the 4.7-inch Android KitKat phone's coming out next month, and it's making the Russian Commonwealth its first stop, followed by countries in Asia, Africa, Europe, Latin America and the Middle East. The phone's specs and features haven't changed since we've last seen it at Mobile World Congress, which means it'll ship with LG's knock-to-unlock function and, sadly, that disappointing 960 x 540 qHD display. It will, however, come in several versions with slightly different components.
Hands-on with LG's G2 mini
Just because it's smaller and has the same branding, that doesn't mean LG's G2 mini is anything like its elder namesake. It's just borrowing a bit of the G2's tech halo, is all. With a 4.7-inch, 960 x 540 qHD display, Android 4.4 KitKat, Snapdragon 400 heart (or Tegra 4i, depending on your market) and 1GB RAM, it's clear LG's positioning this as a budget Android KitKat device. But budget doesn't have to mean bad and here at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, we got a chance to see just how modest the G2 mini really is. Read on for our initial thoughts.
