LG Optimus G Pro Review | Pocketnow

Опубликовано 15 апреля 2013, 8:27

If you were to ask us last year if LG was capable of making a Galaxy Note or Galaxy Note II competitor, we probably would have chuckled a little bit and answered with a stern, straight-faced, "No." But LG is a living, breathing example of how much can change in just a few, short months.

The highest-end smartphones from LG between 2010 and mid-2012 were not exactly memorable. The T-Mobile G2X, for example, was released with a handful of issues and quickly swept under the carpet. The LG Optimus Vu found itself on our Worst Gadgets Ever list, even while it's still available for purchase.

That should speak volumes.

But LG went back to the drawing board and came back in full force towards the end of 2012, releasing its latest flagship, the Optimus G, and it's Google-branded smartphone, the Nexus 4. And though its presence at CES in January was focused more on the smart home -- integrating mobile technology and home appliances -- than any new mobile hardware, LG had a new flagship in tow at Mobile World Congress the following month.

The Optimus G Pro is LG's third official entry in the so-called phablet market. But it's the first entry that may actually pose a threat to the Galaxy Note II's mind share. It's 2013, the Note II is now an older device with last year's specifications and a successor is still several months out.

So how does LG's Note II competitor stack up? Should you buy the Optimus G Pro over, say, the Note II? Or should you wait for the Galaxy Note III? What about some other future phablet? We have used the Optimus G Pro, extensively, for 11 days now. Watch our full review to see if it's right for you.
