The aGPS module determines the smartphone's position relatively exactly, even indoors. The mini-version of the G2 also has an infrared port and can therefore be used as a universal remote control. For close-range communication, NFC is available on the device.

Bluetooth 4.0 is on board for wireless data transfer or the transmission of audio signals. In both scenarios, the connection is stable and the WLAN module's reception range is comparable with other smartphones. A prerequisite for this is, of course, a cell-phone contract that includes LTE. However, if there is no Ethernet in the vicinity, you can connect to the Internet wirelessly over LTE (LTE/4G 800/1800/2600 MHz). That means the smartphone only supports the wireless standard 802.11 b/g/n. Upon our first observation of the WLAN module, we immediately noticed that no communication is possible over the 5 GHz band, unfortunately. However, at 125 grams (~0.28 lbs), the G2 Mini is considerably lighter than the Xperia Z1 Compact (137 grams ~0.3 lbs). The Galaxy S4 Mini, the HTC One Mini and the Sony Xperia Z1 Compact all have a 0.4-inch smaller display and are therefore a little easier to hold in your hand. At 129.6 x 66 x 9.9 mm (~5.1 x 2.6 x 0.4 inches), the smartphone is, of course, narrower and shorter than its big brother, but it is also 0.8 mm (~0.03 inches) thicker. Here we again see a substantial similarity between our review device and the LG L90. The case does have its advantages, as its grip is good, and it does not collect fingerprints. The removable back cover is textured and matte. Were it not for the hardware keys on the backside of the device, you would be surprised to learn that the G2 and its mini-version were from the same product line. But alas, the case strongly reminded us of the LG L90, as the material composition and the feel of the two smartphones are strikingly similar. Up until that last moment, we continued to hope that we would open the box to find what would at least appear to be a high-quality device. What was LG's solution to this challenge? We had asked ourselves this question many times since the device was first introduced - now we finally have an answer.Īs soon as we cut into the LG G2 Mini's packaging, our last thread of hope was snipped. Sony, however, managed to squeeze the hardware installed in their Xperia Z1 into the Xperia Z1 Compact 's smaller case, without losing performance power.
Unfortunately, both of these devices' performance s were substantially inferior to those of their larger counterparts, and the two mini-smartphones' displays were not of the same caliber either. Pushing against the trend of ever-increasing display size, many manufacturers have designed a "mini-series." We already had the chance to review the Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini and the HTC One Mini.
Its successor, the LG G3, is already in its preparatory stages. With its numerous innovative features, like "knock-on" and hardware keys on the backside of the device, the smartphone made a name for itself in the high-end market. Last year, the South Korean company LG released their current flagship, the LG G2. For the original German review, see here.
