The LG G2, also known as the LG Optimus G2, is one of the more anticipated smartphones coming out in the second half of 2013. So far the rumors are plentiful but not much has been set in stone yet. This may have changed as LG recently sent out a press release for a full HD smartphone panel. Given that the LG G2 is the next big thing coming out of LG, it’s not a giant leap in logic to guess that this state of the art HD smartphone panel is for LG’s next state of the art smartphone.
Here is everything about the panel as per the press release:
- It is a “state-of-the-art 5.2-inch panel.”
- The screen is 2.2mm thin.
- It has a 2.3mm bezel.
- Uses LG Display’s One Glass Solution. According to LG, “Dual Flexible Printed Circuits, superior to a single circuit, have been inserted between the panel and touch film, reducing the number of lines on the panel by more than 30 percent.“
- 1080×1920 Full HD resolution.
- LG makes it a point to tell everyone about the brightness. Apparently, Intertek has confirmed that this screen is capable of performing just fine in “strong outdoor sunlight” the photo at the bottom shows LG accepting a certificate from Intertek to this affect.
It’s hard to get overly excited about a display but LG seems to have put enough info into this display for it to actually be a little exciting. As you can see from the pictures above and below, this screen is ridiculously thin, bright, and colorful. Of course, only time will tell if it looks this good in a smartphone as it does in these photographs. LG also claims that the thinness of this display will also help improve grip. Again, though, these are things we won’t know for sure until this bad boy is released on a smartphone.
The most important part is that this hasn’t been 100% confirmed as the screen for the LG G2. It might as well be, but LG hasn’t directly come out and said that this will be on their LG G2 behemoth. Rumors state that the screen will be between 5 and 5.5 inches and be 1080p. This screen satisfies all that criteria. Also, as this screen has an official press release and the rumored unveil for the LG G2 is less than a month away on August 7th, there’s no reason to believe it won’t be prepared to be inserted into the G2′s body. To read the press release for yourself, we’ve put it in below.
