The LG G2 is a huge 5.2-inch Full HD phone with a powerful quad-core 2.2GHz processor. It might now have been superceded by the LG G3, but last year's model is still a seriously powerful handset with incredible battery life. LG has done an excellent job of hiding the G2's bulk. A slim screen bezel all round means the handset is both shorter and narrower than 5in phones such as the Sony Xperia Z1.
It's also remarkably comfortable to hold; the phone's rounded edges and gently tapered back mean it sits well in your hand, and never feels overly large when you're making a phone call.
Android smartphones are growing ever bigger, and now that Apple has followed suit with the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus, compact flagship phones like the G2 are looking increasingly rare. Even if you have small hands, the G2 is physically small enough to use without stretching - despite the large screen.
There's one part of the G2's design that goes against the grain.
There are no buttons around the edge - instead, the volume and screen lock buttons sit on the back. We're not convinced this works. The volume buttons sit within easy reach of your index finger, but we found the lock button hard to locate, and often ended up changing the phone's volume instead of locking or unlocking the display.
