Though LG is yet to announce or confirm its existence in any way, the G2 mini may have earned both FCC and Bluetooth SIG’s blessings, likely in anticipation of a formal debut at the Mobile World Congress.
Samsung has the Galaxy S4 mini, HTC the One mini, Motorola retaliated with the Droid mini and then along came Sony with the disruptive, uncompromising Xperia Z1 Compact. Anyone missing from the diminutive flagship party?
Why, LG, of course. But apparently, the Nexus 5 and G2 makers won’t stay out of the fun for much longer. Only their mini-spearhead looks anything but “mini”. I mean, sure, I get phablets are a thing right now (they’re in the dictionary, mind you), yet 4.7-inch is redonkulous for a gizmo intended to be compact and easy to handle. Regardless of norms and fads.
And no, this no longer falls under unsubstantiated gossip. One of two model numbers almost set in stone to designate regional G2 mini flavors – D618 – paid FCC a visit, with a few schematics hidden underneath all the regulatory mumbo-jumbo.
The handheld measures 65.8 mm in width and, surprise, surprise, 128.8 mm in length. For comparison, the standard, 5.2-inch G2 is 138.5 mm long and 70.9 mm wide, so it’s obvious this unreleased thing will look more like the high-ender’s equal than its subordinate.
Taking into account conventional bezels, our best guess is G2 mini’s screen real estate will circle the 4.7 inch figure, exactly as recent reports suggested. The odd thing is fairly believable sources still claim to have it on good authority the resolution clocks in at 960 x 540 pixels, which would deliver a cringe worthy ppi of… no, let’s not even go there.
No way LG goes all-in on size and then compromises with qHD res. No… way!

By the by, a slightly different G2 mini variation, D620, also passed Bluetooth certification, making it pretty clear an announcement isn’t far off. Maybe mere weeks away, as Barcelona’s Mobile World Congress debuts on February 24. Or maybe, though this is a stretch, the Seoul press event on the 13th is about the mini after all, not the jumbo-sized G Pro 2.
