LG Optimus G Pro to launch "next week" in Korea

The LG Optimus G Pro will launch in South Korea next week |
As you can see from the pictures, LG sliced the width of the bezel to give the display an edge-to-edge appearance. QSlide has been improved, still allowing you to turn one app transparent so that you can use another at the same time. Using curved glass on the display gives it what LG calls a "2.5D" effect and high-quality photos can be taken even with a moving subject. The phone has been priced at 968,000 Korean Won which works out to about $897 U.S. Dollars.
Based on the release, it looks like a North American launch of the LG Optimus G would take place sometime in the second quarter.

I'm interested, especially with a removable battery.

Spec-wise it's spec-tacular, it's a however a complete knock-off of the Note II but lacking the sylus and AirView function. Also, the photo render with the no bezel design is a bit of a bull, the screen actually has quite noticable black bars around it.

they paid more money DUHH? it's like apple able to get the best stuff in the business. Apple has always been a game changer through innovations and buying the best there is unlike crapdroid using last gen tech... cough... cough the gs3 using old a9 and mali 400 that the s2 did cough.

Apple did:
1) Come up with their own "unique" Maps App which has garnered International reactions
2) Introduced a new feature in their OS 6.1 upgrade which allows you to view photos/contacts even if your locked out

The Exynos 4210 in the Galaxy S2 used 45nm technology, while the 4412 uses 32nm HKMG, which is NOT the same, and the ARM A9 Exynos 4412 still outperforms the Apple A6 Swift in Geekbench. Also, the Mali 400 in the Galaxy S3 was clocked much higher than the Mali found in the Galaxy S2, which gave it more than enough GPU power.
Who needs new generation power when we don't have software to utilize it? That goes especially for Apple, whose iOS hasn't changed much since 2007 and barely even needs a dual core processor running at 800 MHz and a dual core variant of Imagination Technologies' current 4th place consumer available graphics to run smoothly.
Meanwhile, Android has been renovated and flipped multiple times in its existence, and actually uses the CPU power that it's given. Also, Android doesn't even need much more CPU power than the Exynos 4412, it just needs more GPU power to push all the pixels on the new high res displays, especially with the new line of tablets coming out. Android is running on phones with true HD displays, and WQXGA tablets. The only iDevices that actually uses the GPU power it has are the 3rd and 4th gen iPad's.
The only thing that Apple gets that is the best is their GPUs, and only one line of products from them actually uses it.

BWAHAHAHA if the s4 comes out with this pos soc than you can be sure that the next iphone will kill it. I mean that adreno 320 is just a little better than the mali 400 in the s3 and almost the same as the gpu on the iphone 5...

its called the Snapdragon 600 ..its a new class of processors using a improved design over the s4 ....this will be a rocketship for some time ....say bye bye to the mali 400 and SGX gpu in the iphone 5
8. apple.comm posted on 17 Feb 2013, 23:38 0 6
lmao--- r u just...? nervermind. the adreno 320 will never be better than the gpu that going to be on the new iphone. No phone out this years, next, or ever will have a gpu as good as the one on the iphone.

well who knows ...adreno might not ..but Samsung is planning on using the same SGX GPU ...

The Adreno 320 and Mali-T604 are already better than the SGX543MP3 in the iPhone 5.
The next iPhone is probably going to use a tri-core variant of the SGX544 (which is what the Exynos Octa is rumored to use) or 554, the latter of which will put it around the same performance level of the current iPad if they increase the clock speed. And if that's the case, then the Snapdragon 800 and Tegra 4 should pretty much be on par, if not better, than the next iPhone in terms of GPU if Nvidia's claims of outperforming the A6X chip and Qualcomm's claims of superiority to Tegra are right.

Dude, are you just spewing out random nonsense? Have you seen the raw performance tests of these GPUs with Egypt HD Offscreen? I'll give you the numbers;
Adreno 320 (Nexus 4): 30.5 FPS
SGX543MP3 (iPhone 5): 27 FPS
Mali-400 (Galaxy S3): 13 FPS
The Adreno 320 gets more than double the Mali-400, much more than your "just a little better" statement. The Adreno 320 also scores about 10% more than the SGX543MP3, which you appear to claim is the best smartphone GPU on the market right now, obviously on false information.

LG has always been top of the chain right from the Tegra 2 days, when it comes to hardware. Its their software thats the dealbreaker. They are too lazy to push the latest android versions into their phones.

LG is improving ..but they might have skipped the 4.2 update because there is some error with the code google the Nexus 4 overheating issue and nexus 7 lag afer the update

Don't get surprised. When GNote2 launched in Korea, it was a couple of dollars more than that.
Also, LG states they will launch internationally in Q2.
If this phone attracts many devs, I will buy it regardless of LG's lame software update..

Time for Lg to fall back Samsung Galaxy Note 2 owns this space. Especially with the Galaxy Note 3 coming later this year. This Lg Optimus G pro is nothing more than a large phone nothing like the Galaxy Note 2.

We'd have to see what software improvements LG will bring with the new version of Optimus UI, if they release one with it. So far, the hardware is all there and is a fair improvement over that of the Note II, it's just the software that's iffy.
But, it doesn't stand a chance against the Note III. It would have a fighting chance if it had the Snapdragon 800, but that's not coming out until June at the least.
