Earlier today, LG announced its latest flagship smartphone, the G2, which the company firmly believes is the best smartphone it has ever built. In addition to the latest high-end specifications — like a 1080p display, a quad-core Snapdragon 800 processor, and a 13-megapixel camera — it also comes with a whole host of new software features that hope to give the Galaxy S4 a run for its money.
