LG has sent press invites for a smartphone launch May 30 in Macau. LG hasn't specified which handset it's launching, but reports claim that the event will be for the rumored LG Optimus G2. The media invite shows a profile of the slim smartphone, along with the tagline "ImaGination Begins." The Optimus G2 will likely go head-to-head with rival Samsung's Galaxy S4 and HTC's flagship One smartphone.
