LG G2 has won a lot of attention with its narrow border and button design on the back. LG G2 also has the heart of Snapdragon 800 and 13 million level 3 OIS optical anti shake camera, which seems to have deep internal power. What's more, the current price of LG G2 can be said to be the cheapest flagship product. What about LG G2?
In terms of hardware configuration, LG G2 is still a very familiar Android flagship machine, and the 2.3GHz Snapdragon 800 and 2G RAM are seen to be vomited. However, LG G2 has quite a few special designs, among which the most notable one is the volume key and power key on the back. In addition, its 5.2 inch FHD screen has an impressive 2.65mm frame. It is also interesting to claim that the screen also has Graphic RAM technology. In addition to the above, the 13 megapixel camera of LG G2 has Level 3 OIS anti shake.
Appearance design:
The first impression of LG G2 is that it is small. Yes, the ultra narrow border makes it visually compact, but it may also be related to my daily use of HTC Butterfly S and Xperia Z1.
LG G2 is designed as a virtual key. The 5.2 inch screen on the front occupies most of the space, which is visually pleasing.
On the top is the front camera, sensor and earpiece.
LG G2 has no buttons on both sides, and has a radian design, which makes it very comfortable to hold
At the top, there are infrared, mic and antenna. (This test is a Korean version, so there is an antenna)
The bottom is an external amplifier hole, headphone hole and mirco USB port.
The back of LG G2 is much more wonderful. From top to bottom, there are 13 megapixel camera, volume key+, power key and volume key -. The keys feel average.
The evaluation machine is Korean version, so it can be opened. 2610mAh removable battery, sim card slot and storage card slot can be seen.
After opening the cover, it can be found that one of the double horn openings at the bottom is decoration. However, after consulting with LG engineers, they said that LG G2 is a dual speaker design.
The accessories of LG G2 still continue the tradition of being good to your family, including earphones, chargers, data cables, batteries, and battery chargers.
UI design:
The UI of LG G2 is still the same as that of LG Optimus G Pro before, with complete functions. LG G2 is Qin Fu Chrysanthemum on the lock screen this time.
The drop-down menu allows selection and order transformation.
Very standard desktop design.
LG G2 can modify font, theme, transition effect and virtual key.
LG G2 also has its own QMemo and QSlide functions. QMemo can be viewed as a screenshot for editing, while QSlide is a small window with multiple tasks, but at most two can run at the same time. LG G2 also added the task of sliding sideways, which is quite similar to the gesture on Apple's iPad.
Although the three dimensions of LG G2 are already suitable for single hand operation, it is still a variety of single hand operation options, such as dial interface, input method, and lock screen switches that are more suitable for single hand operation.
Performance test:
LG G2 uses the 2.3GHz Snapdragon 800 processor, and 2G RAM is the flagship standard configuration of the familiar Android camp. However, LG smart phones have always had serious frequency reduction, regardless of high temperature. What about LG G2?
LG G2 is quite interesting this time. You can directly check the CPU constitution through the engineering mode. This time, it is still quite poor. The PVS grade is 2, which is the reciprocal. If you are selecting, you can also select the constitution.
VELLAMO and GFXBench run points at the standard level of Snapdragon 800.
Basemark runs at the level of Snapdragon 800.
When running Asphalt8, the average number of frames is less than 30, accompanied by frame drop.
Shut down LG G2, remove the battery, cool it down, and restart it to run Asphalt 8. In the first lap, the GPU frequency was 320MHz for most of the time, while the LG G2 fuselage did not rise significantly at this time. In the second lap, the GPU frequency was basically 320Mhz. In addition to the GPU, the 2.3GHz Snapdragon 800 of LG G2 is always within 1.2GHz. Most of the time, the CPU frequency of LG G2 is 1GHz.
The software detects that the frequency reduction of LG G2 is obvious. The 2.3GHz Snapdragon 800 runs at 1GHz. The 450 MHz Adreno 330 is 320 MHz for a long time. In addition, this situation occurred when the LG G2 fuselage did not rise significantly.
Use MC4 to test, and the CPU frequency finally broke through 1GHz, up to 2.3GHz, but fluctuated very frequently. At the same time, the GPU can be at 450MHz for half the time.
The software detects that the four core operating frequencies of Snapdragon 800 are quite chaotic. This means that the LG G2 CPU is quite unstable, which happens before the fuselage starts to heat up.
Shooting ability:
LG G2 uses its own 13 million pixel sensor. Its biggest highlight is the level 3 OIS optical anti shake level, which is one level less than Nokia's black technology, and it is also quite good in actual use. However, the aperture of LG G2 is F2.4, which is a little smaller than that of F2.2 or even F2.
The shooting interface of LG G2 is very clean and simple, and it can even be said that there are few functions, but there should be some.
LG G2's focusing is quite good, focusing at nine points, and the focusing speed is quite fast. The volume key on the back can also be set as zoom or shutter key.
LG G2 also has a variety of shooting mode options, such as facial optimization, dual cameras, HDR, etc.
LG G2 can't take photos when recording, which is a little inconvenient compared with other homes. LG G2 provides recording options of different resolutions and frames. Similarly, the volume key can customize the capture key and zoom key.
LG G2 adopts nine point focusing, which is quite good. It also supports manual focusing.
Most of the time, LG G2 performs well, but its metering may vary depending on the focus of auto focus. As shown in the figure above, the difference is generated after the nine focus points are automatically focused at the same position.
LG G2 is easy to overflow when shooting red objects, as shown in the figure.
In terms of details, LG G2 is not very good. It is easy to overflow when shooting a large area of color objects, and small textures will not show up.
For more samples, we will conduct special evaluation on LG G2 shooting and Level 3 OIS optical anti shake in the future.
Endurance:
The Korean version of LG G2 uses 2610 hmA removable batteries, while the international version uses 3000 hmA batteries. The endurance of LG G2 is good, and it can be used normally once every two days. However, the GARM technology of LG G2 screen and its purported addition of a new power management unit did not help us in actual use.
Heating control:
The hot part of LG G2 is more interesting. Only three buttons are pressed on the back, and the other parts do not rise significantly. After running Asphalt for 8 and a half hours, the maximum temperature of LG G2 was 43 ° C, but the cooling rate of LG G2 was quite rapid.
other:
LG G2 has a function called "KnockON". This function can wake or lock the screen by double clicking the screen, which is quite practical. However, there will be some failures in the frequency of induction success, about 2 to 3 times in 10 times.
LG G2 uses F2.4 aperture, which is inferior to F2.2 and F2.0 in most Android camps. In this way, you can feel a certain shooting delay when shooting.
LG G2 has an indicator light design beside the front sensor and the Home key on the back, so you can see the indicator light whether the front is facing up or down. But I suggest you face down.
The Korean version of LG G2 is different from the international version. The Korean version is a removable 2610hmA battery. The international version is a non removable 3000mAh battery. The rear cover of the former is detachable, while the latter is not. There are also differences in thickness between the two.
The Rear Key of LG G2 design on the back is quite good. When holding, the index finger just rests on the Home key and can operate freely. However, the phone is prone to shake during key operation, which affects the shooting.
Judging from the destructive evaluation abroad, the narrow border of LG G2 is not rigid enough, so it is easy to bump the border. In addition, the screen may be broken when falling.
Summary:
LG G2 is the standard flagship configuration of Android camp in terms of configuration. 2.3GHz Snapdragon 800, 5.2 inch 1080P screen, 2G RAM and good camera. LG G2, through its screen technology and body design, has got rid of Android's homogenization except for its appearance. The key design on the back and narrow border are quite outstanding. It is no exaggeration that LG G2 is the most innovative flagship model at present.
However, LG G2 has many small problems while innovating. For example, the camera's Level 3 OIS optical anti shake is F2.4 small aperture. The buttons on the back are in proper position, but the operation is not stable. The narrow border is moving, but not rigid enough. Although these are just some small experience problems, they will still make a batch of consumers give up after being magnified.
At present, the price of LG G2 parallel goods is about 3200 yuan, which is 500 yuan lower than other products such as Samsung Galaxy Note 3 and Sony Xperia Z1. It can be said that LG G2 is the flagship product worth buying at present.
