LG has already announced that its G2 mini smartphone is all set to hit stores in next month starting with CIS countries. Well, the device has already been spotted in Europe where a price for the 4G LTE model has been revealed via several retailers.
The device was expected to be available as an affordable option, but it looks like LG has taken a different route by pricing the phone as a mid-range option. Fudzilla notes that various retailers are asking of €349 (around $483) for the smartphone. They include Amazon Germany and Spain as well as Saturn and MediaMarkt amongst others. The report also stresses that the said price appears to be official as it’s the same on all sellers.
The LG G2 mini is a compact version of the flagship G2. The handset is slightly smaller than the original and it features downgraded hardware. At 4.7 inches wide, you get qHD resolution which is a disappointment. Android 4.4 KitKat powers up the device and it features various LG-exclusive features such as Knock Code, QuickMemo, QSlider and more. The processor here is a 1.2GHz quad core Snapdragon 400 with LTE. A dual SIM model and one powered by the Tegra 4i chipset is also official, but not for the European market.
LG G2 mini specs:
– OS: Android KitKat
– Screen: 4.7-inch qHD panel
– Chipset: Quad core Cortex A7
– RAM: 1GB
– Storage: 8GB internal, 32GB expandable
– Camera: 8MP rear, 1.3MP front

In the coming months, the LG G2 mini will also go on sale across Asia, Latin America, the Middle East and Africa.
