Specs for 5.5" LG Optimus G Pro (potentially for the next Nexus 5)

**BookReader2** · 02-08-2013, 12:26 AM

Now we can actually present you how the 5.5" handset, expected to be announced at the MWC expo later this month, might look like in reality, along with the full, and decidedly mouthwatering specs sheet.

How does a 5.5" 1080x1920 Full HD IPS-LCD screen sound to you? Not bad for a start, but LG also throws in a 1.7 GHz quad-core Snapdragon with LTE radio, 2 GB of RAM, 13 MP rear camera and 2 MP front one capable of 1080 video, just like on its 5-inch variant.

We saved the best for last - the 5.5" Optimus G Pro will apparently sport a giant 3,140 mAh battery, 32 GB of internal memory and a microSD slot for cards up to 64 GB, indicating it might not even be a unibody design.

Maybe this is LG game plan

flagship #1 (think Samsung Galaxy S3): LG Optimus G
flagship #2 (think Samsung Note 2): LG Optimus G Pro

and the naming convention (for future devices)

LG Optimus G
LG Optimus G2
LG Optimus G3
etc..

LG Optimus G Pro
LG Optimus G Pro 2
LG Optimus G Pro 3
etc...

LG put up this teaser at its facebook page for Mobile World Congress taking place in Barcelona in 18 days time.

The handset is LG’s answer to the Samsung Galaxy Note 2, only with more pixels, a slightly beefier processor and no stylus. It’s out in South Korea this week, and elsewhere – including the U.S. – later.

Until I actually saw the announcement today I hadn't really considered it. I am leaving Verizon for AT&T, but was pretty set on the GS4, but this phone has given me pause, more so because the 32GB S4 is MIA and do I really need all of the extra gimmicks that Samsung put into it. I mean S-Health is cool, but I can get another app for that, and tons of sensors that just eat battery. I guess I have to play with one next weekend when I return from vacation and can compare it more.
