Description

As the G2 mini's name implies, the phone is significantly smaller than the LG G2. If you simply don't need its gigantic 5.2" display, you can probably settle with the G2 mini's still-sizable 4.7" panel. At 540 x 960 pixels, though, the 234 ppi pixel density is by no means rivaling the level of clarity observed with today's 720p or 1080p displays. Other than the size difference, the G2 mini looks almost exactly like its bigger sibling. The plastic material from which the G2 mini's body is made isn't particularly fancy, though. It's a very basic, matte type of plastic. The good news is that the G2 mini is coming with Android 4.4 KitKat out of the box. The Snapdragon 400 CPU in the phone is clocked at 1.2 GHz, and sports a low-end Adreno 305 GPU. There's 1GB RAM in the G2, along with 8 gigs of storage space. The Snapdragon version of the phone has an 8-megapixel main camera, and a 1.3MP front camera. All in all, this phone is best described as a watered-down LG G2.

This device is also known as LG D620

Thought I could live with these specs, I was wrong...
Phone owned for less than a year

Have been on the hunt for ages for a compact phone to suit my needs, and fit in my pocket. I finally settled on this one, thinking that the specs would be ok to live with daily. Unfortunately its just too slow.
I'm a very light user in comparison to most on a daily, but I still like to be able to get my phone out and not have to wait an unreasonable amount of time to load something as simple as my contacts. Even returning to the home screen seems to be a task sometimes.
I don't mind an average camera on a phone, as I have a DSLR, but this one is considerably poor. Even for instagram.
The battery is ok, but give the size of it, and the general specs its powering, it should last allot longer than it does. Still cant get more than a day and a bit out of it. I'm a fairly light user, maybe a couple of hours a day.
Loud speaker is good however. I don't mind the sound when playing music. Its quite loud and has some depth.

Worst phone I have owned
Phone owned for less than a year

I am surprised that all of the other reviews are perfect 10. This is a crappy phone, very bad UI response and overall performance. The camera and display are very good, so if you are looking for a camera; not a phone, then this is "ok".
