LG Electronics has unveiled its latest flagship smartphone which features no buttons on the front of the handset.
The new "ergonomic" gadget is designed with buttons on the back to give users more control and includes a feature which allows a call to be answered automatically when the phone is raised to the ear.
Dr Jong-seok Park, president and chief executive of LG, revealed the LG G2 after "thousands of hours of research and development" and told his audience: "You will never be able to go back to your old phone."
"Our definition of innovation today is technology that truly resonates with consumers," he said.
"We have always listened to and learned from consumers in pursuit of innovation.
"We took this research to new heights in developing LG G2, the most exciting and ambitious phone in our company's history."
According to LG, its device is the first smartphone to be completely devoid of buttons on the side. The "Rear Key" concept was designed to make it easier to use a large mobile device and is said to result in fewer dropped phones.
The phone also comes with a 5.2-inch HD display, a 13 megapixel camera and, according to LG, is the first smartphone on the market to feature "studio-like" sound quality, described as being "far superior to a CD".
Other functions include the "Answer Me" feature which enables the phone to answer a call when it is lifted to a user's ear, and "QuickRemote" which allows the LG G2 to remotely control home entertainment devices.
