After the applause received by Google's Nexus 4, the South Korean firm LG promised them to rebound in a market in which it had presented a notable decline in the last two years. Now it has re-signed the flagship of those from Mountain View, the Nexus 5, making it coexist with its own premium terminal, the LG G2, a phone that has been enjoying the support of professionals in the sector, although not the public. And, as we have learned through information published by the Asia Today site,sales of LG's flagship device would be below expectations set by the manufacturer.
To see this clearly, you just have to refer to the projection that LG would have for its LG G2 during its first quarter on the market. In total, the company expected to market a total of three million units of its higher-end phone. However, since it was put on sale (it was presented in August, and launched a month later) it has barely reached the barrier of 2.3 million devices. With this, the responsibility of fixing the ballot is transferred to the Christmas campaign, which is anticipated as one of the most competitive in recent years, given the saturation of super phones that make up the 2013 offer.
As we know through Phone Arena, the LG G2 figures have barely exceeded in South Korea, one of the company's preferred markets, the high-end that the firm had in the market at this time, the LG G Pro. Approximately a quarter of all sales of the device (about 600,000 units) were registered in that country, being just 60,000 units more than those sold so far by the LG G Pro (about 540,000).
In our country, the LG G2 is available in most catalogs of the main operators, as well as in the free device circuit for 550 euros, although browsing through various online stores it would be possible to find it for much less. It is not, however, a bad price for a team that has FullHD screen 5.2 inch megapixel camera thirteen, with which it is possible to record video clips in HD with a rate fluid capture 60 frames per second.
The LG G2 also carries inside what is currently the most powerful processor on the market. We are talking about the Snapdragon 800, a 2.3 GHz quad-core unit developed by the Californian Qualcomm. It also incorporates two GB of RAM and between 16 and 32 GB of internal storage, depending on the model chosen. Currently it works with Android 4.2 Jelly Bean, and one of the most interesting points lies in the design solution that the manufacturer has chosen. We say this because the LG G2 does not have front or side buttons, having moved them all to the back of this terminal that does not quite meet commercial expectations.
