LG Optimus G Pro is the successor of Optimus G, which has been praised for being a very good performer and a very intelligently designed phone. Optimus G Pro has received similar praise, so lets see how it actually feels in the hand.
Design
LG Optimus G Pro looks very similar to Samsung Galaxy Note II, which it competes with. One of the biggest criticisms of Optimus G was that it looked drab. However, LG has managed to make the phone slightly narrower at 76.1 mm compared to Note II, which is 80.5 mm, and the LG device is also lighter at 172 grams compared to 183 grams of Note II.
The phone, with its 5.5 inch display, isn't really small; in fact it is big and has a very shiny back panel without any contours, which means it's also slightly slippery, but it looks good.
Display
The phone has a full HD (1080 x 1920 pixel) display with 401 ppi pixel density. The display is great with very good contrast ratio and vibrant colours. But it is not flawless. The blacks are at best dark grey and its not like HTC One's display, which feels like there is no glass cover; LG Optimus G Pro's display feels slightly recessed and that means chances are that it will not be as good in the bright sunny conditions of India as HTC One is.
Webpages, movies or anything else feel great on this large and vibrant display. Snappy touch response also means that it is a joy to use the phone.
