Hardware

LG Optimus G Pro's overall hardware design is fresh and beautiful. The LG Optimus G Pro boasts a Snapdragon 600 chipset with four Krait 300 cores clocked at 1.7GHz, 2GB of RAM and the Adreno 320 GPU. With specs like that you would expect the phablet to be a real benchmark champion and it surely delivers.

Electronics

Harness heightened efficiency while lowering overall power consumption with the Snapdragon™ Processor with 1.7Ghz Quad-Core CPUs. With four independently operating central processing units, it doesn’t just work harder—it works smarter. The impressive 2GB of RAM allows smooth performance for the most demanding games and apps.

Camera

When there are no words, there is the 13 MP Full HD camera. With advanced optics and features, faster shutter speeds, intuitive adjustments, and voice commands capture your life story in all its glory—giving frameworthy moments a chance to shine again on-screen.

• 13 MP Full HD rear-facing autofocus camera
• 2.1 MP Full HD front-facing camera
• Dual camera – capture both the subject matter and the user by simultaneously activating both the front and rear cameras
• Intelligent auto – automatically identifies a scene’s characteristics and adjusts camera options like aperture and shutter speed
• Cheese shutter – voice command picture taking
• Time catch shot - capture the moments just prior to pushing the shutter button
• Pause & resume recording - pause and resume while recording a video—footage is seamlessly stitched together for one continuous video

Sometimes life feels like a reality show—and with Optimus G Pro, yours could be a number-one hit. Dual Recording and Dual camera add drama to any video or photo by activating the front and rear video cameras simultaneously, capturing the subject as well your reaction— whether intentional or entirely spontaneous. Moreover, VR Panorama dismisses the average-view picture and whirls around for expansive-view dimensions, capturing a virtual 360°-like scene unlike anything you’ve seen.

Sensors and IO/Ports

Optimus G Pro comes with standard set of built-in sensors like accelerometer (to monitor device orientation), gyroscope (for orientation and motion sensing), proximity sensor (for disabling screen when mobile is held against the ear during a call), ambient light sensor (to change screen brightness depending on ambient conditions), GPS with A-GPS and S-GPE support etc. For connectivity, the phone uses MicroUSB port and standard 3.5mm jack. Wireless connectivity options are Bluetooth (v4.0), Infrared, WiFi, EDGE, GPRS and NFC.

Build

The build of the Optimus G Pro is dominated by glass - both the front and the back - though LG hasn't disclosed the exact details of the finish. Still the phablet manages a premium, quality feel. Above the display we find the usual setup - a centrally located earpiece, a proximity sensor and the secondary 2.1MP video-call-enabled camera right next to it. Below the display, a hardware Home button is surrounded by capacitive Back and Menu keys. The home key is rather thin and almost flush against the surface, it's not the most comfortable button to use. There is a status LED below the Home key. It is highly customizable and lights up in different colors depending on the notification.

The left side the Optimus G Pro features a customizable Q-Slide key and the single-piece volume rocker below it. Those keys used to be combined in the Optimus G, but we like this solution better as it rules out accidental presses of the volume controls. The volume rocker is noticeably more raised than the Q-Slide key, which helps touch orientation. On the right side is the lonely Power/Lock key.

The top of the G Pro has an IR emitter for the remote control functionality and right next to it is the 3.5mm audio jack. The MHL-enabled microUSB port is at the bottom. There are two mics on the phablet - one at the bottom, which serves as a mouthpiece, and one at the top, for noise-cancellation. The battery cover is made entirely of glossy plastics, but it is nicely textured and reminds us of the Nexus 4 back. The pattern uses squares instead of dots, but they still "move" as you tilt the phone. the back of the LG Optimus G Pro also features the 13MP camera lens, centrally placed at the top. The LED flash and loudspeaker grille are on both sides of the camera.

Software

Optimus G Pro is powered by Android 4.1.2 (Jelly Bean). The LG Optimus G Pro is in fact the first LG smartphone to be powered by Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean with the company's own Optimus UI right out of box. The customizations run deep and there's a rich selection of themes, changeable icons and home-brewed apps. A good number of Android-enabled features also come with G Pro pre-installed. Some of these software features are reloaded and feature-rich lock-screen, intuitive camera GUI, Optimus UI, QSlide, QuickMemo etc.

Google Now

Google Now was first introduced in Jelly Bean 4.1 and is definitely one of the most interesting additions to the OS. Simply put, it's Google's version of a personal assistant. Google Now is in the same neck of the woods as Apple's Siri, but it learns constantly from your use patterns. It's accessed by swiping up on any of the on-screen controls and gives you a short overview of information it believes is relevant to you. Going to work the same route every morning? Google Now will let you know there's a big traffic jam on your usual way to the office and will offer an alternative route.

Smart Video

Never miss a single moment with Smart Video, which monitors the position of your eyes to automatically pause video playback if it detects that you have looked away from the screen. Once your focus returns to the display, the video will resume from where you left off.

Prioritization and QSlide

Color-coded itineraries. Hotel and restaurant reservations. Outdoor activity reviews. QSlide 2.0 is a vacation multitasking pro. Open two new windows over your main screen and adjust the window size or transparency, so every holiday can hang-ten!
