It has been a year since LG unveiled the 5.5-inch beast, original G Pro. According to the company, more than one million units of the product have been sold, while consumers enjoyed using its enormous screen, snappy Snapdragon 600 CPU and custom UI that LG loaded on it.
In the same press release, LG announced that the successor of the particular handset will be debuted in February. The company did not disclose any info about the specs of the device nor the exact date, though we feel suffice to speculate both. The second iteration of the line,
LG G Pro 2, will ostensibly sport a larger display, around 0.2 to 0.5 inches bigger, with 2K resolution — which appears to be this year’s trend in the industry along with fingerprint scanners. The processor will be upgraded to either Snapdragon 800 or the 850 — announced in November, which offer double the performance of the soon to be outdated 600 SoC. To compete with Samsung’s counterpart, the Note 3, we might see three gigs of memory as well, instead of just two. Design wise, we hope to see much thinner bezels and enhanced ergonomics.
As far as announcement date goes, there is no doubt that we’ll see this happening during MWC 2014 in Barcelona, where all of the major manufacturers — except the Cupertino Giant — show off what they’ve got for the current season. The conference starts on the 24th and wraps up on the 27th.
Albeit not being a big fan of the Optimus line up, I can’t wait to see what LG has in store for us. We wonder what you guys think about LG’s upcoming monster so feel free to sound off in the comments down below.
