I loved the design of the Optimus G, it was a device that felt right in the hand. You Can See My Review Of The AT&T LG Optimus G, By Clicking Here. LG did give the Optimus G Pro a nice design as well. For the size of the device, the G Pro is quite thin and it is thinner than the Galaxy Note II. Unlike the smooth and slippery back of the Note II, this device has a matte finish. This way it provides some grip and it won’t slip out of your hand. LG did take into account that this device is large, so they made it as pocket friendly as possible. It really is not too big for the hand and it did fit in mine quite nicely. The Optimus G Pro will come in the color of black and it is nice color. To add some pop to the design of the device, the back has some carbon fiber detailing in it. The design is very clean, as there are only 2(two) logos on the device. A LG one on the front and an AT&T one on the back. A very cool feature is found in the home button as well, it has LED’s surrounding it, this way when you turn the device on it will glow in different colors. It can be used a LED notification light and it looks very nice. That is a very cool feature of the design and it features a dedicated Quick Button and you can customize what happens when you hit it.
LG did a great job with the display and I could tell this from just a few minutes with the device. The Optimus G Pro has a 5.5-inches display and it is Full 1080p HD with 400 pixel per inch. Everything looks vibrant on the display and the colors really pop out at you. The display can get very bright and the 400 pixels per inch will make sure images dont’ get pixellated. Text is very easy to read on the display, LG has certainly come a long way since the display on the LG Nitro HD.
Speed is important on any device and from my time with the device so far, the 1.7GHz Quad-Core Processor with 2GB of RAM is very fast. Swiping through the home screens, watching a video, taking a photo, using applications, and more happen with no lag. LG choose the right processor for the device and it is comparable to the other high-end devices on the market. You have access to AT&T 4G LTE and there extensively back hauled 4G HSPA+42 networks on the G Pro. Speed is not an issue with this device.
LG made to add some unique operating system features on the G Pro as well. One of those features is VuTalk, this will let you write down notes, draw a picture, and more all in real-time between different devices! This way if you need to write something out, while you are on the phone with someone, you can easily do this with VuTalk. LG QuickMemo is back and will let you take screenshots and customize them to your liking. You can take a photo of map, write directions on it, and then send it your friend so they know where to meet you. With the Quick Button you can dedicate to automatically take a QuickMemo when you hit it. With QSlide 2.0 you can take your multitasking to the next level, as you can use multiple applications all on the same screen at once. This way you can jot down a note while watching a video from YouTube, all over 4G LTE from AT&T. The base operating system is Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean with many customizations from LG.
The LG Optimus G Pro for AT&T is a very nice device from the beginning. It has very nice design that resembles the Optimus G. You have a nice 5.5-inch Full 1080pHD Display and you get speed from the 1.7GHz Dual-Core Processor with 2GB of RAM! My full review of the AT&T LG Optimus G will be coming soon.
