Get ready to watch the LG G2 launch live here

LG is set to launch the G2, its new flagship smartphone, in New York later today. The usual raft of pre-launch leaks means we know the device will be powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 processor, sport a 5.2-inch 1080p display and come with a 13-megapixel camera.

Other details will be revealed by the South Korean electronics giant during the launch event, but if you’re not in New York, or haven’t received an invite to the unveiling, don’t worry -- BetaNews has saved you the best seat in the house.

You can tune into the event here live, and if you’re a bit late -- thanks to work or other pesky distractions -- you’ll be able to catch up on it afterwards (and skip ahead to the really good bits).

The event kicks off at 11am New York time, which is 8am in San Francisco and 4pm in the UK. We’ll also bring you news on the device once it’s been officially announced.
