LG Optimus G2 leaks again, seen running on SK Telecom

Just in case we didn't have enough LG Optimus G2 leaks already, here's another set of images that surfaced on the web earlier via Seeko – a Korean gadget-dedicated forum. Once again we are given a glimpse at the smartphone's front, where a screen of over 5 inches resides, as well as at its back side, where the volume buttons have been placed right under the camera module. 

The source of these LG Optimus G2 images allegedly got their hands on a unit with the help of an LG insider. We are being told that the unusual button placement makes them uncomfortable to operate, but who knows, perhaps their arrangement just takes some getting used to. Supposedly, placing the keys on the back of the device has allowed LG to make the bezel on the Optimus G2 nearly non-existent. Furthermore, it is said that the LG Optimus G2 has a removable battery with capacity of about 2600mAh or so.

The LG Optimus G2 is expected to be announced officially at a media event scheduled for August 7. SK Telecom is very likely to be among the first carriers to start offering the device, which isn't surprising at all since the handset is rumored to offer LTE-A connectivity. However, we won't be surprised if U.S. carriers launch their own versions of the smartphone as well.
