LG introduces 5.9 inch LG G Pro 2 with Android KitKat at Rs. 51,500

LG has launched the much-awaited G Pro 2 smartphone in India at Rs. 51,500. LG announced the G Pro 2, the successor to the Optimus G Pro without revealing the price and availability in February. Notably, the smartphone was available ahead of the official unveiling in India at a discounted price of Rs. 49,900 through an e-commerce website. The South Korean handset giant released the G Pro 2 in Korea initially in February.

The LG G Pro 2 runs Android 4.4 KitKat out-of-the-box. It features a 5.9-inch full-HD IPS display with a 1080x1920 pixel resolution and sports a slim bezel. A quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 processor powers the phablet, clocked at 2.26GHz with an Adreno 330 GPU and 3GB of RAM.

The phablet sports a 13-megapixel rear camera with OIS+ (Optical Image Stabiliser Plus) and LED flash, while there is a 2.1-megapixel front-facing camera. The G Pro 2's rear camera supports 4K Ultra HD recording and features like magic focus,natural flash, flash for Selfie, and burst shot. The company has included a new Knock Code feature on the LG G Pro 2 which was recently seen on the LG L90 smartphone. 

The 5.9-inch handset comes in two storage variants: 16GB and 32GB. The G Pro 2 further supports microSD card (no word on maximum storage capacity supported). The G Pro 2 supports Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, GPS/ A-GPS, GPRS/ EDGE and 3G connectivity options. It is backed by a 3,200mAh battery and will be available in Titan Black, Silver and White colour variants.

The phone is competing in a space where we already have the likes of Samsung Galaxy Note 3, Oppo N1 and HTC One Max all featuring display sizes above 5.7 inch.
