- QuickRemote — Not only can LG G2 be used to remotely control popular home entertainment devices, it can also learn from conventional remotes and be customized to operate multiple devices with flexible layouts and keys.

- Slide Aside — Enables easier multitasking by simply “sliding” open apps off to the side using a three-finger swipe.

- Guest Mode — Protects owner’s privacy by displaying only pre-selected apps when guests access the phone with a secondary unlock pattern.

is this finally the perfect phone you can find in the market ???
The specs look good..2.26GHz Snapdragon 800 should be more than enough for every app in the playstore as of now.. :)
If priced correctly, this phone can change the game around for LG !!

Insane specs. All on the pricing now.

Any news on the LG L9 II release? Wasn't it supposed to be launched along with this phone?

too much of a overkill i think. who needs all those specs? any phone with 4.3 to 4.7 inch screen and decent specs like even a year old s3 will do the job.

Specs are good and phone also looks nice. It will depend on the price whether this phone will survive or not.

^ True. It will be priced higher than their current flagship G Pro.
