LG G Pro 2 benchmarked, doesn't impress

It might not score high on the benchmark, but it might still attract people who like phone with bigger screen. At this point, all newer phones are very smooth and it's really up to the end user experience. But I am kind of shocked that G Pro 2 isn't on par with the G2

I had the original optimus G pro, in lg phones there is a secret code which I don't remember now which took us to settings and there was a option to disable thermal throttling. It used to run at 1.1 ghz instead of 1.7 and in antutu benchmark it scored around 20k which increased to around 25-26k after disabling the thermal heat throttling. I have heard that lg g2 also has the same setting, maybe on G pro 2 same setting has been enabled.

Yeah, my girlfriend had the Optimus G and I think there is a Eco mode that use less process power when it's on to save battery. So you might be right. But either way, I think the G Pro 2 will be very smooth regardless the benchmark score.

Well, I had a bad experience with LG phone in the past and good experience with samsung's phone... but that was in the era of feature phones...

so what..optimus ui still better & customizable..... Samsung is no way near to the LG's camera & lg's hardware & obviously LG doesn't cheat.... so at least I don't care who copies who!!

You do know that LG's camera is a COMPLETE rip off the touchwiz camera? From the UI, to the modes, specially the beauty and drama modes, they didn't even bother changing the picture of the mode neither the name.

I have the LG G2 and the camera is certainly not a rip off of the Touchwiz camera. Nope. No way.

lol!my page also shows LG cheats..But not at least for this device & not for most of the devices!!see G2, G pro 2 & compare it with note 3 or s4 & most of the commenters are paid trollers by Samsung...It also have proofs all over the internet!!Just google

18. Astoni (Posts: 649; Member since: 28 Sep 2013)

Akki, i agree ;)

20. iTechies (Posts: 88; Member since: 28 Dec 2013)

yeah i am really agree with that. LG gave me lots of bad experiences on their phones too!

Which phone do you own? I'm intrested to see what do you understand by smoothness?
By the way, which pc do you buy (both with the same specs.)? Acer or Toshiba? They use the same components but it maters how your engineers will integrate that components.
The same in mobile world. Choosing...choosing...Enjoy!

Only dumbasses buy a complete pc ;)

I own the Nexus 5, LG G2 and Note 3. What's your point? Even on a pc level, the same applies. Any tech enthusiasts will tell you numbers on paper is for show unless it's a huge leap in new hardware/software/optimization. In this case, as well as others, (e.g LG G2, GN3, Nexus 5, etc) the same Qualcomm processor was used with different benchmark results. The GN3 being faster on paper while showing lag in certain areas in real world, while the nexus 5 showed no sluggish behavior but scored the lowest in benchmarks in comparison to the others. Not to mention how benchmarks can be manipulated. Noob!

The Note 3 lags? And the LG G2 doesn't? I have the note 3, rooted, customized and I am yet to face any lag, and I've had it for almost 5 months now. On the other hand, my wife had the LG G2, and while it was blazing fast at first, a week later, and after installing her apps and moved her media to the phone, it lagged like a 800mhz single processor phone with 512mb ram. I had to install nova launcher to get rid of the lag.

Your wife must have a bad phone then . I have the Verizon LG G2 for 4 months now and still no lag. Loads fast and rums smooth as butter. The quality of LG devices is so much better than Samsunsung devices. I have had nothing but excellent results with LG devices and will continue to buy them over other brands. While they may not be as popular as Samsung , they are sooo much better made.

Agree on N5...low benchmark scores but butter smooth performance.

11. jove39 (Posts: 1967; Member since: 18 Oct 2011)

And here is confirmation about LG not cheating in benchmarks...look towards middle of page.
