Pricing and further details of the phone's availability will be made known in the appropriate local markets in the weeks ahead.
The LG G2 mini is equipped with a 4.7 inch IPS display with resolution of 540 x 960, and a quad-core 1.2GHz CPU is under the hood. 1GB of RAM is on board with 8GB of native storage. A microSD slot is included for those who need additional storage. Back and front-facing cameras weigh in at 8MP and 1.3MP respectively and the phone is powered by a 2440mAh battery. Android 4.4 is installed out of the box, and depending on the region, the phone will be available in Titan Black, Lunar White, Red and Gold. LG is also planning on producing single/dual SIM versions of the LG G2 mini.We should point out that the LTE version of this phone offered in Latin America will be powered by a quad-core 1.7GHz Tegra 4i processor, and feature a 13MP rear-facing snapper.
"The compact G2 mini offers a combination of design, hardware and UX features previously unavailable in its class, making it a very attractive option for mid-tier markets. With the G2 mini, our objective is to allow a much larger consumer base to be able to experience the key benefits of the G2 UX in a smaller form factor. And to that end, we’re confident we’ve succeeded with the G2 mini."-Dr. Jong-seok Park, president and CEO, LG Electronics Mobile Communications Company
Knock Code is going to be one of the features on the handset. This allows the user to create a code made up of a pattern of taps on the screen, to unlock or power on the phone. The pattern can be as short as two taps and as long as eight taps. That means that there are 80,000 possible combinations to chose from, and the taps can be made on any area of the screen to make it easier to use the phone with one hand.
