LG G Pro 2 review: See you 2morrow

04 March 2014
A generation older and a year wiser, LG will be looking to prove that it can learn from its mistakes and produce a device that can finally put a proper challenge for the phablet throne. The G Pro 2 certainly seems to have the right tools for the job...

I think you'll find this is a Note 4 killer, never mind Note 3 or 2.

    No active stylus? So this thing can't even compete with my Note 2, much less Note 3. Fail!

      Also what more do people want from a phone, they're coming to their peak now, smartphones/phablets are not going to get alot more advanced than they are now, some of you are being too fussy.

        The only time a stylus is needed is on much smaller phones, they have no use on large screens certainly any size above 5.5". I used to use a stylus on my Sony M600i which was useful as it was difficult typing on a 3.5" screen. The S-pen is certainly a gimmick, there is no place for it whatsoever. The only worry I have with LG Pro 2 is the loudspeaker, it's supposed to be very powerful but according to the review it's very average, which is disappointing.

          This is just a blown up G2. And it does not even have a stylus pen built in. And the S pen itself on the note 3 is not a gimmick at all.

            I better than the Note 3 due to :-

            1) much slimmer bezels,
            2) OIS+
            3) Better all round camera
            4) Better software, S-pen is a gimmick
            5) More natural colours, amoled is too vivid

              Another "high-end" device without FM radio! I'm completely disappointed. It's time to think about buying Nokia Windows 8.1 high-end phone.

                        This is a decent effort from LG, but as GSM said it 6 months to late, the Note 3 in the UK at least can now be had for under £450 simfree in some places, I paid £434 back in December for mine, I can't see LG offering this device for that price the 16GB version will probably be around £600 mark & the 32GB around £700 mark and hard to get hold off, so while LG do have a decent Phablet, it will fail to sell, basically because the Note 3 can be had for alot less now.

                          Anonymous, 05 Mar 2014Its not. The note 3 has a better quality screen, more stora... moreSince when AMOLED with PenTile Matrix is better quality than a perfectly calibrated IPS+ LCD with full RGB Matrix?

                              AnonD-53686, 05 Mar 2014One question..... How is this better than the note 3? Its not. The note 3 has a better quality screen, more storage, USB 3.0, S-pen and a lot more advanced software (like split window, pen window, air view etc).

                              That said, the Pro 2 is still a really good device.

                                LG latest smartphones support native video call.
                                so they finally learn their mistakes and take clues from Samsung.

                                    Nothing amazing. Another phone just like the thousands of others. It makes phone calls.

                                        Best phone apart.. a huge challenge for Samsung and others. Though I doubt 4k video on mobile like 1080 shot on a 2mp cam but its applicable for all. The market is full of competition and companies comes with various strategies. We only need a device which is best capable for daily job from entertainment to office work LG G Pro2 is best compared to Notes and others. Affordable price. LG rocks.
