LG G2 LiveStream Unveiling Event: Watch Here
LG fans interested in watching the LG G2 unveiling event livestream can do so here.
The event will take place in New York starting at 11 a.m. and anyone will be able to see the announcement and the latest updates via their computer or mobile device. The link to the livestream of the event can be accessed through YouTube.
The LG G2 basically functions as the company's Galaxy Note competitor as its size places it in between a smartphone and a tablet. Rumored specs for the device included a Snapdragon 800 processor, a 5.2-inch LCD Full HD display, 2GB RAM and a 13-megapixel camera. The phablet will not feature any physical buttons on the front and sides as they will be only on the rear of it.
Pictures of the new device were leaked yesterday by @evleaks. The site posted up a press image of the smartphone that was later used by LG for an official YouTube video. This basically confirmed what the device will actually look like. There was also a leaked manual and other promotional shots that leaked onto the internet revealed more information about the device.
The LG G2 will go up against the Galaxy Note 3 which Samsung announced it will unveil on Sept. 4.
The company will host its own "Unpacked Episode 2" event on Sept. 4 to introduce the new device. The event will take place in Berlin at 1 p.m. ET. Samsung will hold it just ahead of the IFA 2013 show which will take place from Sept. 6-11.
The event will be livestreamed for those that will not be able to attend. There will also be a first hands-on experience held simultaneously in New York's Times Square. Samsung used a similar strategy when unveiling the Galaxy S4 back in the Spring of this year.
The Galaxy Note 3 will feature a 5.7-inch LCD display, according to some of the latest rumors. Other specifications on the device will include 3GB of RAM and Android 4.3, according to a report from AndroidGeeks.
