LG G2 Release Date Set for September 12 On Verizon, September 13 for AT&T
The LG G2 release date will be on September 12 for Verizon users and September 13 for AT&T.
A source familiar with LG's plans recently confirmed the launch dates to Android Authority in a new report. Verizon will make the handset available just one day before its rival. However, AT&T will begin offering pre-sales for the device as early as the 3rd of September and will give away free folio cases with it to those reserving it.
A European release is expected to happen around the same time. Sprint and T-Mobile are expected to offer the LG G2 sometime in the future, however, there are no confirmed launch dates for either carrier at this time.
LG unveiled the new G2 smartphone-tablet hybrid earlier this month at its special livestreamed media event.
The LG G2 features some impressive specs including a 5.2-inch full HD display, a 13-megapixel rear camera, 2GB of RAM, a microSD slot, a 3,000mAh battery, on screen navigation keys, and Android 4.2.2 with LG's custom skin. The LG G2 will also be the world's first worldwide-launching smartphone running the Snapdragon 800 processor.
It appears to the LG's answer to the wildly popular Samsung Galaxy Note 3 that is also expected to arrive sometime in Sept. The Samsung phablet is expected to feature a 5.7-inch LCD display, 3GB of RAM, and will also come with the Snapdragon 800 processor. The device will also run the new Android 4.3, JellyBean operating system.
The rumored Nexus 5 smartphone could also be based off of the LG G2, according to recent reports. However, there have been conflicting ones as to who will actually design the handset as it is currently a toss-up between Motorola and LG.
