They should have released this internationally instead. Stupid LG. 16gb of internal will surely be filled with LG and carrier crap. So what will be left to the user? 7GB? Lol. That's like 3 HD movies.

the thickness is probably due to the DMB unit that almost every korea bound phone must have.
2 batteries over 1 bigger? I'd take an extra battery any time. My best advise is go to korea and make a visit to an lg service shop and get yourself another battery pack. then you'll have a 3000 and 2600 battery pack, which will give you more than 2 days worth of battery life. i did this for my SGS2 and SGS2.
cheers!

No sd card not an issue.
32G is good enough and just incase you can still use USB otg cable + USB memory card reader.

LG are you kidding! No expandable storage is a deal breaker, if you must do this make the internal memory at least 64gb. You're out of the running for my next phone. I'll look to Samsung or Sony to give me what I need.

Sounds really crappy to sacrifice 900mAh to get a removable battery and sd card slot. I'll just wait for the Note 3 ;(

It is a 2,610 MAh dude, a little bigger than the one on your favorite Galaxy S4. 9mm in thickness isn't an issue too coz we're not talking about inches so it there's not a big difference too when comparing this lovely device to the ones out in the market within 7-10mm range in thickness.

People, the battery capacity of the Korean version is 2,610 MAh and not 2,160 MAh! I personally prefer the Korean version with only 16GB of onboard storage but expandable and with a 2,610 MAh battery coz with the Korean version there is an extra battery to keep the device going if in case it runs out of juice plus, it is removable! A flagship phone has to have a bigger memory, it is more important than a bigger battery for only 400 MAh difference, its really not a deal breaker for me. I don't like the idea of being stuck with just a 32GB onboard memory and a non-removable 3,000 MAh if LG can give me a spare battery for 2,610 MAh, my problem is already solved. I don't wanna rely on cloud storage coz not all the time you have an internet connection and SD card is better than a cloud storage at least in my opinion.

Same old story different products for different markets...Yes you have to change the frequency bands for each individual currency but keep the phone the actual phone you are selling to the public THE SAME..

International G2 is better
Because of the bigger and long lasting battery Li-po 3000mAh.
and ofcourse its more slimmer.
For me the 32gb(25gb free) is enough also better than 16gb on LG nexus4.

It is a real shame. LG G2 could have been number one in the world but without the removable battery or external memory slot, it will only be another cell phone of the bunch. LG please sends Korean version all the world!
