LG Optimus G2 Rumored to Launch in May 2013: Leaked Specs and Features

The successor to the Optimus G smartphone is in a round of rumors right now, with the South Korean electronics company LG planning to launch the Optimus G2 somewhere around in May 2013. The first gen Optimus G has been in talks always for having a limited availability, and not being shipped globally but LG has kept ignoring that and might have some other plans for the next generation of the phone which is expected to have some big upgrades and entering the 5-inch category where some beasts are competing each other (includes the HTC Droid DNA, J Butterfly, Oppo Find 5 etc.).



The actual scheduled launch of a major device from LG is somewhere in the second half of next year, but the company is rescheduling it and would launch it in the second quarter, in order to compete with the Galaxy S4 which might launch by that time, from the fierce competitor in the Android market, Samsung. Some stunning upgrades include the one in the screen and processor, with the 4.7-inch screen of Optimus G being upgraded to 5-inch with a Full HD display.


From the rumors, it has been learned that the processor could be a 2GHz quad-core Qualcomm CPU one, while it was already a quad-core processor in the Optimus G too having a speed of 1.5GHz. The shocker though is that there could be the Android Key Lime Pie operating system coming loaded in the G2, which one wouldn’t be able to confirm because its not a long time since the Android Jelly Bean and its next JB version 4.1 have been launched, and Google might be taking some time to come up with the next version, either the 4.3 or 5.0.

Apart from the devices which we mentioned above, Sony too has been working on the “Yuga” with the big display, and Samsung could be launching one of the devices with a 5-inch HD display pretty soon. Looking at the list being built quite fast, the normal standards in the coming days would be a 5-inch screens with the 1080p HD displays.
LG, just like Samsung could have an upper hand in launching the flagship devices with the new OS versions, because the company even launched the LG Nexus 4 phone with the Android 4.1 version, being the first phone in the market with that OS version.

Whatever the reasons could be, but if LG managed to launch the device somewhere around the launch of the successor of the Galaxy S3, we would see a good competition in the high-end devices market. We’d update you as soon as something interesting comes up from the manufacturers or the sources.
