Overview

The LG G2 mini is lucky to share lots of DNA with a great smartphone - and we cannot blame LG for focusing on the outside, and going for budget-grade internals. After all, a super mini along the lines of the Xperia Z1 Compact would've been pointless...

With a 4.7-inch display, the LG G2 mini isn't exactly diminutive, but it provides an respectable midrange package...

The G2 mini is almost exactly what you'd expect it to be. A smaller of the flagship G2 but the build quality and specs take a serious dive. The saving grace is a decent camera but it's worth paying the extra for the now heavily reduced G2. If your budget won't stretch, check out the Sony Xperia M2.

The G2 Mini isn't simply an LG G2 in a smaller body. It has the look, a number of the same special features and the same good battery life, but it also has low resolution, poor sound quality during calls and ultimately too high a price given its...

The LG G2 Mini shares a lot of qualities that some of the premium LG smartphones have. You could argue that that the processor is slightly under-powered, but to be fair, a slightly faster processor and higher resolution screen are additional resources...

So, has LG managed to make an appealing midrange proposition with the G2 mini? At the suggested 350 USD or EUR price tag we'd have to say no. What should be a scaled-down version of the excellent G2, turns out to be lacking on many important counts....
