Assuming LG hasn’t lost its marbles recently, we are all expecting them to release a successor to the not-quite successful LG Optimus G Pro phablet. While competing with the equally mammoth Samsung Galaxy Note 2, the Optimus G Pro proved itself to be a decent phone in its own right with some semblance of useful stylus features, though its sales figures never seemed to reflect this. In the year since that phone was announced, LG has done away with the ‘Optimus’ nomenclature so we can probably expect the follow-up phablet to be called the LG G Pro 2 and if a report coming out of Korea is to be believed, we’ll be seeing this new phone next month at MWC 2014.
The report also specifies that such a device would carry specifications like a 6-inch display, Qualcomm Snapdragon 800, 3GB RAM, LTE/LTE-A support and Android KitKat. Â This sets the G Pro 2 squarely in the sights of the perennial phablet, the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 and it has to wage somewhat of an uphill battle. Even so, assuming this rumour is true, it will be interesting to see if LG includes a stylus again and if they have made any strides with the UI that so many complained about in the LG G2.
Do you think the LG G Pro 2 has any chance in today’s market? Let us know what you think in the comments.
