Better than its reputation in some test reports

I liked this smartphone from the very beginning and quickly found many of the negative reviews in various online test reports unfounded. The technical values ​​are known and need no longer mention.
So far, I've never had a device with such a large display, because me this whole smartphone simply are much too large. That has changed with this unit now. Size, form factor and feel are much better realized in relation to the display size. This my choice fell on this model. Probably there are also no further 4.7-inch smartphone that still fits roughly comparable good in your pocket.
At the same time the G2 mini also my first smartphone from LG is. My curiosity was therefore great, and now I am in particular of the user interface that enables the operating system from LG is beefed up, heavily inspired.
For everyday use, the technical features are enough anyway. Really fault anything there are likely only high-end enthusiasts and laboratory junkies. A fortiori, I think the optics or material properties sometimes described as cheap Seeming to not only exaggerated, but downright wrong. The look exudes simple elegance, and the textured surface of the rear panel also feels really good to have. Particularly commendable I feel the everyday normal operation actually noticeably longer battery life than other devices. I had over the past year and a half, a Sony Xperia L, a Xperia M and a Samsung Galaxy S4 mini in use, none of which held by comparable long without recharging. Reception and voice quality of the LG G2 mini are impeccable and sometimes better than the other mentioned devices, and the need for optional memory expansion via SD card was there as well and does for me anyway no point of criticism is.
What the - mainly criticized by the professional reviewers various reviews - concerns display, let me say that not the resolution or brightness find my displeasure, because it is now time not a in this price range I also unexpected HD panel. That would only unnecessarily consume certainly a lot of battery power. Solely the surface finish of the display has caused an incredulous shake of the head with me, because this is not at the high level of quality of the equipment in the remaining requirements. Already the first finger touch leaves its trace in the form einr streak, and after a few minutes, the surface appears fettfingerig unsightly. You have to create by means of a most equal mitzukaufenden protector necessarily remedy. Here I suggest the way on so called matt effect films because they impair the otherwise quite good sharpness of the screen.
All in all, I regret not purchasing. The device Look impressive, works well and is a price well worth.
