Unlike the Xperia Z1 Compact, LG hasn't kept the same internal components of its bigger brother, meaning you'll have to make do with a 1.2GHz quad-core processor, 1GB of RAM, 8GB of internal storage, microSD slot, 8MP rear camera and a 1.3MP front camera.
The good news is that the LG G2 Mini comes running Android 4.4 KitKat out of the box - the G2 is still stuck on Jelly Bean for now - although LG has put its own skin over the top.
Another feature the G2 Mini has over its larger namesake is LG's new Knockcode security system, allowing you to tap out a pattern to wake and unlock you handset without having to touch any buttons.
Your pattern can consist of anything from two to eight knocks, but I found that the system wasn't always overly responsive.
