Being so close to Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2014, we kind of assumed that most devices that were rumoured to be released around now would be announced at the industry event. It turns out our assumptions might have been wrong as it’s being reported that the LG G Pro 2 release date is going to be February 13th, 2 weeks before MWC. This contradicts some of the rumours we have previously heard, but if it’s true, LG could potentially get the jump on its competition who will be making announcements at MWC 2014.
Invites have already apparently been sent out for the announcement event in Korea, featuring the statement “Knock-knock knockin’ on” which presumably refers to the Knock On feature first seen on the LG G2; this feature allows a user to wake up the device’s screen simply by knocking on the screen.
The LG G Pro 2 is expected to be the spiritual phablet successor to the LG Optimus G Pro after dropping the ‘Optimus’ nomenclature from its premium family of devices. While expected specs of the device are pretty thin, we’d suspect the G Pro 2 to have a minimum of a Snapdragon 800 processor, and we have heard that the 13MP rear camera will be augmented with something LG calls “OIS Plus” for image stabilization and 4K resolution video recording. Whatever the G Pro 2 ends up rocking, we hope it gives Samsung’s Galaxy S5 a run for its money come MWC time.
Do you think the LG G Pro 2 will be a worthy device to compete with Samsung’s flagship devices? Let us know what you think about the device in the comments below.
