Description

The LG Optimus G Pro is a high-end Android smartphone offering one of the largest screens to ever grace a handset's front. Its 5.5-inch IPS-LCD display has a resolution of 1080 by 1920 pixels, which translates to excellent pixel density and impressive level of image detail. But at the same time, LG has made the phone as narrow as possible by minimizing the width of the bezel surrounding its screen. Under the hood of the LG Optimus G Pro we see a powerful quad-core Snapdragon 600 SoC running at 1.7GHz alongside 2GB of RAM for seamless multitasking - specs that place it pretty high in the hierarchy of current Android smartphones. The main camera offers 13MP of resolution while the 2MP front-facing camera can take 1080p videos. Further specs include a massive 3140mAh battery, 32GB of internal storage, and a microSD card slot.

This device is also known as LG E980, LG E989

still an awesome phone!...even after almost 2 years on the market!
Phone owned for more than a year

I'm a big fan of the new tech and devices that pour out of these companies. as often as these products appear, I haven't really seen a new one that really makes me say "I have to have that one". I say that because the G PRO is such a well rounded device. yeah this phone has 3 gigs of RAM and that phone has a faster processer but in my opinion, this LG just handles everything well. the screen size is perfect at 5.5 inches and it's a marvel to look at. it's a less expensive NOTE clone sans the s-pen. but you can use a stylus or your finger to take notes on one of its note taking apps. almost everything these new devices can do, the G PRO can do. to me, only thing it's missing is the dual window capability even though it has some q-slide apps that float over the screen that you're on. the speaker could be a little better as well. I can control my TV, I can take notes, I have 96 gigs of memory available(32 on board and a 64gb memory card installed) and I can leave it on my wireless QI charger. phones coming out this year still don't have QI charging. did I mention that the G PRO is still very fast. switching screens and opening apps is a breeze. I got the kit kat update in May and the phone got even better. my upgrade is coming up in August and I don't think I'll even get another device because it's still that good.

lg optimus g pro
Phone owned for less than 3 months

Voice to text dictation beats Siri into the ground. If you don't have the Optimus G Pro, then you are missing out. Screen brightness is adjusted very easy and quick. The quick memo/notes and multi tasking is awesome. I can't compare to anything but my last phone but I'm a basic user, internet,text,calls,camera/video and music

High Performance Pocket PC- Makes Phone Calls Too
Phone owned for less than a year

The Optimus G Pro is in all reality a computer that you can always have with you. It is also a personal secretary/assistant that is always there. It is really a crime to call it a "phone", but it can make phone calls too.

95% of the time I am using the G Pro as a PC and personal assistant. It is lightning fast and with Android 4.1.2 it rivals Desktop PC performance. I have some really great Apps that allow me to dictate everything from calendar entries to grocery shopping lists.

I have had smartphones since 2006 and the days of the UT Starrcom and first i-phone. I have had smartphones from all the major makers too, but the G Pro is the first to embody a true all-in-one device you can always have with you.
