LG G Pro 2

May 29, 2014 By Kunal Gangar Leave a Comment

LG has a clear strategy as far as smartphones are concerned. The G series will take on the likes of Samsung’s Galaxy S series and competitive devices while the G Pro will assume the ‘phablet’ role to take on the successful Galaxy Note range. While LG found some success with the LG G2, G Pro – albeit a good device – failed to attract consumer attention. Will a second attempt turn the tides for the Korean company? Let’s find out.

LG G Pro 2 Review

Post the launch of LG G2, LG has adopted a cleaner look for its smartphones and G Pro 2 is no different. The front is clean with the display taking the majority of the front side with the narrow bezel and features a 2 megapixel camera, mic and the earpiece on the front. There’s also a microUSB port at the bottom while the 3.5mm headphone jack and infrared sensor at the top. The back of the phone features the physical buttons like the power/lock button and volume keys, just beneath the 13 megapixel camera sensor and has a textured finish that results in a better grip of the phone and even saves it from smudges.

In short, the design is similar to what we’ve seen with other LG devices in the past but the build quality seems more solid despite the fact that LG has shaved off a few extra millimetres.

The G Pro 2 packs in a 5.9-inch display that supports Full HD (1920×1080) resolution. LG is using the IPS panel that achieves a good viewing angle, colour contrast and while the pixel density decreases compared to the original G Pro, the difference is hardly noticeable.

Powering the G Pro 2 is Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 800 2.26GHz quad-core processor and 3GB RAM. While we would have wanted LG to go with the latest Snapdragon 801 but the Snapdragon 800 is no slouch either. The phone runs smoothly along with good handling of high-end games that require a lot of graphic processing. Another advantage of the G Pro 2 that very few high-end phones possess is the support for 4G LTE band in India. This means that if you’re in an area that has an active 4G LTE network, the phone will be able to take advantage of the next-generation cellular network.

The LG G Pro 2 runs Android 4.4.2 KitKat OS out of the box and runs LG’s customised user interface on top. The interface is fluid with lots of design customisations and even has the ability to configure virtual buttons, which is a big plus. Added to the software is the Knock Code that has been evolved from LG’s Knock On feature. Although the Knock On is present on the G Pro 2 as well, Knock Code allows users to tap a minimum of two times on the locked screen to unlock the device. There are about 86,000 different possible combinations and works on any part of the screen.

As for the rest of the software features, it comes with Dual View – LG’s take of Multi Window, Mini View – that allows one handed operation, Quick Remote – LG’s universal remote control service, QSlide – for easier multitasking, Quick Memo.

The G Pro 2 features a 13 megapixel camera sensor with Optical Image Stabilization Technology (OIS). Using the camera with OIS is a real treat as it’s a big step up over the G2 sensor. The colour contrast and noise control is decent and even comes with a variety of camera modes and Flash for selfie that uses flash in low light situation to take a selfie. On the video side, the G Pro 2 is capable of recording videos in up to 4K resolution and slow motion 120fps HD video.

The G Pro 2 features a 3,200mAh battery that offers a great battery backup. In our test, we could easily get the device run for more than day with some heavy usage including videos, web browsing, music and games.

There’s no doubt that the LG G Pro 2 is loaded with some meaty features. The promise of performance and good battery life is something we all need. However, the phone retails for a price of around Rs. 45,000 which puts it directly in line with the likes of Galaxy S5, Xperia Z2 and HTC One (M8), making the G Pro 2 a tough sell unless you’re specifically looking for a big screen.

Rating: 4stars
Pros: Performance, Battery Life, Camera
Cons: NA
