The LG G2 mini release date has been confirmed by LG, with the smartphone touching down in April.
Arriving in April, rollout will begin in Russian Commonwealth countries initially, followed by Asia, Europe, Africa, Latin America and the Middle East.
“The compact G2 mini offers a combination of design, hardware and UX features previously unavailable in its class, making it a very attractive option for mid-tier markets,” said Dr. Jong-seok Park, President and CEO of LG. “With the G2 mini, our objective is to allow a much larger consumer base to be able to experience the key benefits of the G2 UX in a smaller form factor. To that end, we’re confident we’ve succeeded with the G2 mini.”
Originally LG told TrustedReviews that the LG G2 mini wouldn’t arrive until “around May or June time”, priced “accordingly to the mid-range market”.
