LG G Pro 2 to be launched on February 21 in South Korea

LG’s new G Pro 2 smartphone will be officially available starting February 21 in South Korea. At least that’s what ZDNet is saying, based on information received from local “telecom officials.”

Of course, we already knew that the G Pro 2 would be launched in Korea later this month. We just didn’t have an exact release date.

After its Korean launch, the LG G Pro 2 will be rolled out internationally, with Europe and the US likely not getting the handset before April. There is still no word on how much the G Pro 2 will cost. However, LG will probably ask around $600 for it (off contract), since this is the approximate price of most high-end smartphones today.

The G Pro 2 runs Android 4.4 KitKat, and features: a 5.9 inch 1080p display, LTE Advanced, NFC, 13MP rear camera with OIS Plus, quad-core Snapdragon 800 processor, buttons on the back (à la LG G2), 3GB of RAM, 32GB of expandable internal memory, and a 3,200 mAh battery. The large handset also comes with a new Knock Code feature which allows you to unlock it with as little as two taps on the screen.

Some people prefer a phablet rather then laptop like 1520.

I did in an Att store. It's way big for me. I'm sure it's a great device. Maybe I should try Windows...

To be fair, the 1520 is only slightly larger than the G Pro 2.

That's just not possible to state until we actually have the opportunity to spend some time with it. That being said, the Note 3 set the bar ridiculously high and I'm having trouble seeing how this device will be able to overcome the benefits of the S Pen. Hopefully they can surprise me.
