LG Optimus G Pro: hands-on with the new Snapdragon 600 processor and 5.5-inch 1080p display (video)
In SoMeIT (Social Media Information Technology), we are fully dedicated to satisfying all of your web needs, integrating your business to social networks.
The Pro version of last year’s Optimus G comes in two flavors: Japan gets a 5-inch 1080p phone, while Korea (and the US) is treated to a 5.5-inch phone at the same resolution, but with Qualcomm’s latest mobile chip, the Snapdragon 600. We’re getting to grips with the Korean flavor here at MWC and while we’re still waiting on a launch dates more specific than Q2, we couldn’t help taking this particular G Pro for a spin. While the original wasn’t particularly lacking in the battery department, that increase in resolution has been fortunately accompanied by a bigger battery, up from 2,100mAh to 3,140mAh in the Korean edition and 3,000mAh in the Japanese. Design-wise, the lines are softer, more curved and — if we’re honest — more like the Galaxy S III. There’s now a curved physical home button lodged beneath the screen, with capacitive back and menu buttons either side of it that light up with the faintest glow. The back of the phone now gently curves into the rest of the phone, with that eye-catching “crystal reflection” effect now subtly shading into the sides. We’ve been aching to try out another phone with a next generation Snapdragon processor, and the 1.7GHz quad-core beast didn’t disappoint in our brief time with the device. Navigation and basic tasks were buttery smooth, even with LG’s slightly gaudy 3D animations and Emotion UI. While we’re reserving full judgement for a review, we are impressed with how LG’s decided to move forward with one of its most well-received smartphones in recent memory.
