Sleeper: LG G2 One of the Fastest Android Smartphones On the Market

MojoKid writes "The LG G2 is the follow-up to LG's Optimus G Pro. It's also one of the few smartphones on the market right now powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon 800 quad-core SoC. The G2 sports a 5.2-inch 1080p display, 2GB of RAM and up to 32GB of on board storage. However, the 2.26GHz quad-core Snapdragon 800 chip on board also has Qualcomm's Adreno 330 GPU that even gives NVIDIA's Tegra 4 a run for its money in gaming and graphics performance. Though the G2 has a rather unorthodox volume rocker and power button assembly on the back of the phone, once you get used to the location, it's actually a pretty comfortable control system. What's pretty impressive though is the G2's performance combined with its 3000mAh battery that offers a solid balance of horsepower and battery life and rivals flagship phones like the Samsung Galaxy S4 and Apple's iPhone 5S."

    "LG G2 One of the Fastest Android Smartphones On the Market" I love those kind of generic statements. All the Android phones except the slowest one is "one of the fastest".

    Sorry, in the US version, there is no SD card, so I won't buy it.

    That report was later discredited. The accusation was largely based on the fact that the testers had disabled hyperthreading on the compared Dell PC: it turned out they had done this because it made that benchmark result *better*. They showed the x86 in its best possible light, so that those in the peanut gallery couldn't credibly accuse them of bias in favour of the G5.

    ultra low power processor...more battery life

    We need to get away from the spec chasing.

    By which you mean "stop chasing this particular spec and go back to chasing the spec I care about".

    Dude, the /. crowd has been going downhill all since 1008, the year I first read a post here.

    Wow, you really are Viking power!

    I agree with GP... I think it all started in the story about Olav Haraldsson landing on Saaremaa Island in Estonia. Rather tan talking about the possible political impact of this unsanctioned invasion, slashdotters just spent their time doing Viking jokes.

    The Norse god Thor decided to become a mortal for a while and went down to earth. He met a beautiful girl and they spent the evening together. In the morning Thor decided to reveal his identity to the woman. "I'm Thor" he said. "You're thor!" she said, "Lithen buthter, I'm tho thor I can hardly thit down!"
