LG was so excited for the G2 mini, they couldn't wait until next week's Mobile World Congress to announce it, so they officially pulled the wraps off of it today. Unfortunately it continues the trend of making “mini” versions very mid to low-tier. So far, Sony is the only company to offer a higher-end “mini”, but I digress.
Getting back to the G2 mini, it will sport a 4.7-inch display, but the resolution is very 2011. It will sport a qHD display, which is 960 x 540. They will supposedly offer two different processors, that I assume will be based on other variants such as non-LTE and dual-SIM versions. You will either get a 1.2GHz quad-core Snapdragon 400 or a 1.2GHz quad-core NVIDIA Tegra 4i.
The rest of the specs include 1GB of RAM, 8GB of internal storage, microSD for expanded storage, 8MP rear camera, 2.440mAh removable battery, and Android 4.4. It will also sport most of the same software features found on its bigger brothers, the G2, and G Pro 2. You will have your choice of black, white, red, or champagne and expect to see it in Russia first, followed by the Middle East, Latin America, Asia, and Europe in April.

It’s hard not to look at the G2 mini as the runt of the family because of its decidedly mid-range spec sheet, but LG didn’t give it the G-series badge because of its hardware. No no, it’s all about software features here.
Still has a bigger battery than most phones haha
