LG Optimus G Pro vs. Samsung Galaxy Note II: Sumo wrestling

Note II thick?
Then G pro thick since they have exactly the same thickness.

Hardwarewise, G pro is better since Note II released first, and G pro benchmarked Note II.

The INTEGRATED S Pen on my Note 2 is very handy in our meetings. Both devices have the same 5.5 screen. LG Pro is only few mm smaller so it looks pretty similar in sizes.
          LG Pro lasted only 50 hrs. In battery test compared to 69 hrs. with the Note 2. That's almost 20 hrs. So at the end of the day I'm still enjoying using my note 2 with more juice left while your LG Pro is already dead.
          Wait for the Note 3 coming this summer and your LG G Pro could not even come close .

            G pro has very elegant hardware & design over note2.

            THE BLACK COLOR VERSION OF G Pro is Fantastic !

            G Pro beats Note2 in most areas...

                AnonD-128005, 22 Mar 2013u try it ? I don t think so... I am Note 2 user (5 months)... moreYes, I tried the Note 2 b4 going for LG P880 last month. I am hoping for a bigger screen at that time. Unfortunately, no matter how hard I tried to convince myself, I just cant do it. Amoled screen always has that bluish tint; it is like looking through a tinted window. Tried comparing white color with LG P880 and you can see the white on amoled screen is not really white but bluish white, not to mention brightness is not as high as P880 too.

                  SGN2 will never be better than G PRO and Note 3 will have a 6.3"inch screen, so I'd rather buy a tablet with a 7" inch screen with which you can call, that is the same. I do not know how much I needed pocket to SGN3. :)

                    Plus the fact that LG has been bad when it comes to updating their devices makes me turn off. Our SGN2 and SGS3 will be getting the Android 5 Key Lime Pie soon while your LG is still stuck in Jelly Bean.

                              lg was the first ever manufacturer to made a fully capacitive touchscreen with a rectangular and round corners phone in the world!

                              in real life ,lg phones are more better durability and hardware compare to samasung phones.

                              samsung is only a popular brand because of billion money for their advertisements...

They are both 5.5 inches (the size copied by LG) and they look almost the same (except for the glittery and girly design at the back). Your LG Pro came one year after the SGN2 that's why it has the latest hardware. The upcoming SGN3 will be even better than that.

LG had seen that SGN2 is doing very well in sales so they thought might as well copy. They could not just copy the S Pen because it's patented and they are scared getting sued. To buy a separate S Pen and not being able to keep it right on the device is a big deal breaker because your S Pen might get misplaced and get lost. Got my point? Your LG Pro even got to the extent of copying the Smart Stay and Multi Window. Wait until the Galaxy Note 3 comes out of the market this summer and your LG G Pro will be blown away.

                                    Note2 is the winner, simply because of excellent battery life. Who wants smartphone wich wont last even a day. And who carres about those stupid benchmarks, at the moment there isn't a single software which could use that power. I even have under clocked my note2 to 1,2ghz and still enjoy flawless UI operation.
