LG Optimus G Pro


Daniel Cooper, Engadget:

A tip­ster has sent us the above leaked slide, reveal­ing that there’s a new(er) kid on LG’s block in the form of the Optimus G Pro. The 5-inch hand­set comes with an upgraded 1,920 x 1,080 display [...]

Update 2013.01.21: The Verge: The LG Optimus G Pro is a go, and rumors didn’t dis­ap­point. The 5-inch 1920×1080 LCD sports a 440-ppi res­o­lu­tion. Unfortunately, gone are the sharp rear edges from the Optimus G, but you do get a phys­i­cal home button.

Update 2013.02.13: LG (Korean): The LG Optimus G Pro will be avail­able late February and instead of the rumored 5-inch dis­play it will sport a slightly larger 5.5-inch 1920×1080 LCD. Resolution will not be 440 ppi, but at around 400 ppi it will be sig­nif­i­cantly higher than the iPhone’s 326 ppi. The dis­play fea­tures a curved glass the com­pany calls “2.5D Glass”. This sounds gim­micky; give me a straight, sym­met­ri­cal design instead.

LG thinned out the left and right bezels to make the large smart­phone eas­ier to hold with one hand. The result on the white ver­sion of the Optimus G Pro looks unbal­anced, espe­cially with the LCD’s sharp cor­ners so close to the overly rounded radius corners.
