LG G2 for AT&T hands-on

The LG G2 has been on sale in the United States for a couple of weeks now, so I managed to snag some quality time with an AT&T version of the company’s flagship. The smartphone is offered by AT&T for $199.99 with a two-year contract.

Save for the lack of FM radio, the AT&T LG G2 sports the same specs as its international sibling. The highlights include a screaming Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 SoC, 5.2” 1080p IPS+ display, 32GB of built-in memory, and a 13MP camera with optical image stabilization and 1080p video recording at 60fps.

The most notable difference between the LG G2 for AT&T and the internationally available model is the retail package. The AT&T handset comes in the carrier’s white/orange box, where users will find only a charger, a USB cable, SIM removal tool, and some booklets.

There are no headphones bundled with the LG G2 for AT&T. This is hardly a surprise though – we were told that this will be the case at the smartphone’s launch event.

Lately, AT&T has done a solid job in keeping the branding on the devices it offers quite subtle and thankfully, the G2 is no exception. Visually, there is no difference between the smartphone for AT&T and the version we reviewed, save for the discreet carrier logo on the back of the smartphone.

Software-wise, the LG G2 for AT&T boots Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean, dressed in the company’s feature-rich UI. There is a good deal of AT&T bloatware on board, though it can be removed from the device.

We ran the usual set of performance tests no the LG G2 for AT&T and found the device to perform exactly as the international version. You can check out the review of the latter over here.
