Following recent announcements from carriers in the U.K and U.S., Canadian operators have now started to make public their plans for LG’s latest flagship smartphone, the G2.
Canada will share the same 5.2-inch G2 as the U.S., and Bell, Rogers, SaskTel, Telus, Videotron and Wind Mobile have all declared that they will be carrying the much-anticipated handset this fall.

If you developed a thirst for more Galaxy Note III information following this morning’s rumor, then you’re in luck. The handset’s complete list of specifications has been leaked by a “trusted insider,” and it suggests that Samsung’s third-generation phablet will blow its competitors right out of the water.
In addition to a larger 5.86-inch 1080p display, the device is expected to come with 3GB of RAM, an eight-core Exynos 5420 processor, and up to 64GB of internal storage.
To celebrate the launch of its flagship G2, LG held a pretty crazy promotional event in Seoul on Friday, which gave attendees the opportunity to win a voucher for a free handset by catching one of 100 helium-filled balloons that were released into the air.
But the event turned nasty when 20 people were injured, and LG was forced to cancel other events it had planned across South Korea.
Yesterday, LG unveiled its latest flagship smartphone, the G2, and also announced that it will be coming to Verizon, AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile and all key U.S. carriers. Today Sprint has made an official announcement offering the G2 on its 4G LTE unlimited plans later this year, but unfortunately the carrier did not provide us with any pricing or availability information.
As I’m sure you’re already aware by now, LG announced its flagship G2 at an event in New York on Wednesday, and in addition a plethora of high-end specifications that’ll make your mouth water, it’s also packed full of software features. LG is clearly hoping to compete with the Galaxy S4 in this department, but not everybody likes that.
Some people like pure, unadulterated Android — and that’s exactly what Google Play Edition devices are for; they combine the latest hardware from third-party manufacturers with stock Android, as Google intended it. Unfortunately, it doesn’t like like the G2 will be competing with the HTC One and the Galaxy S4 in that arena.
