LG sources tip the existence of a 5.5" Optimus G Pro, slated for Q1 launch

Hey ho, LG confirmed the Optimus G Pro! Well, not really, but sources from the company have apparently tipped at least two Korean publications that LG is hammering out a largish 5.5" Optimus G Pro handset, codenamed Optimus GK before, with a Full HD display, which for any self-respecting flagship this spring will be a must-have feature, and it is about to be announced very soon.

This coincides with the tip last week that LG is indeed going to introduce a 5.5" 1920x1080 screen G Pro at the Mobile World Congress next month, and later in the year it will release the Optimus G sequel to battle the holiday lineup of other makers. Here's the full scoop from Yonhap:

SEOUL, Jan. 21 (Yonhap) -- South Korean handset maker LG Electronics Inc. on Monday confirmed plans to release the "Optimus G Pro," a follow-up to its flagship smartphone "Optimus G."

The Optimus G Pro, which is likely to be launched locally in the first quarter, is set to pack a 5.5-inch full high-definition (HD) display and run on a quad-core application processor, the company said.

LG said it plans to ramp up the user experience and hardware features of the Optimus G on the new device.
