The Telstra Signature 2 is a simple-looking smartphone. Its curved frame follows the sleek template that's become standard among modern smartphones, and its screen makes use of LG's "2.5D" Arc glass, which just means the edges of the screen curve slightly to flow more naturally into the phone's frame itself.
Rather than incorporating capacitive buttons, the Telstra Signature 2 opts for a larger 5.3-inch screen that relies on virtual buttons for navigating the Android operating system. It's not quite an all-screen phone, however, with sizeable bezels at both the top and bottom of the face padding out the Signature 2's footprint. The screen itself delivers a resolution of 1280 x 720 pixels or basic HD, which isn't quite as sharp as full HD but is still decent for a phone at this price point.
Modern smartphones often double as entertainment devices, and the Telstra Signature 2 provides plenty of options in this regard. The all-important 3.5mm audio jack is here, as is support for wireless headphones and other wireless devices via Bluetooth 4.2. You've also got 16GB of onboard storage for loading up your music and movies, and you can expand that by as much as 2TB thanks to the phone's support for microSD cards.
One key feature that sets the Telstra Signature 2 apart from other similarly priced budget handsets is the inclusion of a fingerprint sensor on the back of the phone. This can be used for securing the Signature 2 against unwanted snooping and preventing other people from authorising purchases through payment systems like the Google Play store. Fingerprint sensors are still relatively uncommon in budget smartphones, so this is a neat addition that gives the Signature 2 an advantage over the competition.
On the software front, the Telstra Signature 2 comes loaded with Android 7.0 "Nougat". Though it's not the latest iteration of the Android operating system, Android 7.0 includes plenty of useful features including a customisable quick settings toolbar, faster switching between running apps and the ability to run two apps side-by-side on the same screen.
