The forthcoming launch of the LG Optimus G2 may be a little more newsworthy than previously expected judging by recent rumours and speculation.


Last week we heard the device may feature volume buttons on the back and today reports claimed the new Optimus will be the first smartphone from the company to boast a full HD screen larger than 5-inches.

Up until now, speculation had suggested the device would be rocking a 5-inch 1080p screen, but TechBlog brings word that the Korean company plans to stretch it out another two-tenths of an inch.

That would officially make it the largest 1080p smartphone phone from a major manufacturer, something that LG would be wise to trumped when the device eventually launches.

Say cheese

Other new information from the TechBlog report claims the device will also have a 13-megapixel camera, bringing it in line with most of the other top-line handsets on the market.

Previous leaks have shown an edge-to-edge display, while its highly likely the device will arrive packing Android 4.2 Jelly Bean.

LG has already said the device will pack the Qualcomm 800 series processor, while the company is also thought to be working on a phone with always-on voice commands.

In terms of a release date? Well we should hear more about LGs August 7 press event in New York where the Optimus G2 is likely to be unveiled.

The HTC One 2 or the All New HTC One has just passed through the FCC with a familiar set of specs.


Following a wealth of leaks surrounding HTC’s upcoming flagship, the device has been spotted passing through the FFC ahead of its March 25 unveiling.

The mandatory FFC approval process comes with a sketched outlined design of the HTC One 2 that matches previously leaked press renders of the phone with its soft curve corners.

There’s nothing surprising about the FFC listing, with the phone said to feature a 5-inch full 1080p HD display running on a 2.5GHz quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 processor with 3GB of RAM.

It will also arrive with a dual-sensor Ultrapixel rear camera offering around a 5-megapixel Ultrapixel resolution.

This is expected to help depth of field, image quality and focusing abilities over the existing HTC One’s rear camera.

The FCC filing also confirms that it will have multiple band 4G LTE compatibility along with Bluetooth 4.0, dual-band 802.11ac Wi-Fi and NFC connectivity.

The All New HTC One was originally expected to launch at MWC 2014, but HTC has now released invites for a special launch event on March 25 in London.

Judging from previous leaks, the HTC One 2 will be available in three colours – black, silver and gold – from launch, rather than the original duo of colour option for the HTC One.

The 2014 flagship is also expected to ditch the soft touch navigational buttons in favour of on-screen alternatives thanks to Android 4.4 KitKat.
