LG G2 mini Smartphone (11.9 cm (4.7 inches) IPS LCD display, 1.2GHz, quad-core, 8-megapixel camera, Android 4.4) (Electronics)

Customer Review

The mini version of the LG G2 all features that the average user needs. Unfortunately, the phone comes in many test reports not so well off, which is perhaps understandable in part, but in no way means that you get an unsuitable device here. But even from the beginning:

Processing / feel:
The processing of the G2 mini is very good. It creaks nothing and the battery is replaceable. Nevertheless, if, of course, plastic is used, it touches his reasonably high. Nevertheless, the phone can not in the same league as the HTC One, iPhone, etc. play in terms of its processing. Due to the weight of 124 grams, the phone is comfortable to hold. It's not too heavy and not too light.

Display:
Contrary to what many test reports criticizing the resolution of the display, I find this to be sufficiently high. Of course you can see individual pixels when you zoom into web pages very far and deliberately pays attention, but in everyday life this really is not noticeable. The brightness of the display is good and also the color reproduction can be proud of. The size of 4.7 inches is large enough around the smartphone to use once comfortable on longer train rides etc..

Features:
Of course, the G2 has no mini outstanding features, it finally plays "only" in the middle class and not in the upscale segment. The Snapdragon 400 processor with its 4x 1.2 Ghz is doing an outstanding job. The G2 mini has no effect lazily through him. Of course, you still win with this processor no benchmark comparisons.
Even the memory is sufficiently sized with 1024 MB. The internal memory is indeed with freely available 3,7GB bit tight, can be expanded up to 64GB via micro SD but card.

Operation:
Much like the G2 and the G2 is mini to a new type of operation. This allows the display via double-tap to unlock it. This is very intuitive and you would definitely missed with other devices, if you get used to it. Unfortunately, the display is also sometimes been activated unconsciously in the protective sleeve when pushing the phones. Who cares this double tap function, which it can also completely disable.
The hardware key for switching on and off and for volume control are located on the back. This is basically not a problem if you get used to it. However, it may happen that you accidentally change the volume when you hold the phone in his hand.
The size of the G2 mini is perfect for one-handed operation.

Camera:
The camera can shoot images with 8 megapixels. It is noteworthy that the color temperature is not always optimal and the images tend to strongly when it is dark noise. Personally, however, this does not matter, because the camera for snapshots ranges and beyond anyway a "better" camera is used.

Acoustic:
During a telephone conversation, the acoustic is good. It is well understood by the interlocutors and can also listen to this well. To play music good for the built-in speakers in principle already, but you should not expect too much.

Battery: The battery is the G2 mini with 2440 mAh more than adequate. So holding the smartphone in normal use (Whatsapp, random surfing, random play and now and then, here are the mails is) easily by two days.

Conclusion: LG mini is well positioned in the middle class with the G2. You will definitely get a good smartphone at a fair price.
