With its plus-sized screen, LG's just-announced G2 Android smartphone approaches the nebulous phablet territory, but it definitely looks and feels like a phone.

At 2.7 inches wide, the G2, which is nearly bezel-less, is able to carry a 5.2-inch screen—that's just a bit larger than the 5 inches of the plus-sized Samsung Galaxy S4, but still short of the 5.5 inch display on the Galaxy Note II or a similarly sized screen on LG's own recently introduced Optimus G Pro.

Aside from its slightly smaller display, the G2 shares a lot of specs in common with its slightly older cousin, save one notable exception: The G2 trumps the Optimus G's Snapdragon 600 processor with a bleeding-edge Snapdragon 800 processor.
