LG Optimus G Pro 2 goes official; packs 5.9" FHD display, 3 GB RAM and LTE-A support

Just like every hyped device, LG G Pro 2 was pointed to by a lot of leaks and rumors. Putting all these to rest, LG has made the high-end phablet official in a launch event on its home turf (South Korea). As expected, the G Pro 2 has top-notch features and will directly compete with Galaxy Note 3 and other high-end phones with a screen size this big.

On the design front, LG G Pro 2 continues on the legacy of its predecessors and has volume and power buttons on the rear side. Also, the G Pro successor is stripped off of hardware navigation buttons and thus, features on-screen buttons instead. A quick look at the snaps makes it clear that LG has gone for minimal bezel on the front. All in all, the phone does look elegant -in the snapshots at least.

LG G Pro 2 Specifications:

• 5.9 FHD Display (1920x1080 pixles, 373 ppi)
• 3 GB RAM
• 2.26 GHz Quad Core Snapdragon 800 processor
• 16/32 GB internal memory with external sd card slot
• Wi-Fi, LTE-Advanced, Bluetooth 4.0, NFC, Slimport
• Android 4.4 KitKat with LG's Emotional UX
• Knock On feature (to allow locking and unlocking the phone by a tapping/knocking combination, originally appeared in LG G2)
• 3200 mAh battery
• 13 MP Camera with OIS (Optical Image Stabilization), snaps 4K videos at 60 fps, 1080p videos at 120 fps
• Focus can be shifted even after one has snapped a picture. LG takes a cue from Nokia's Recure feature for this one
• 2.1 MP Front camera

As is evident from above, the specs that were leaked were (almost) spot on.

LG has kept mum over the availability of this device internationally. Tech experts are guessing that LG might launch the phone internationally at MWC 2014, along with G2's miniature version i.e. G2 Mini.
