LG has launched its brand new Android 4.4 smartphone in India – G Pro 2. The G Pro 2, successor to the popular G Pro, follows a similar pattern as the G2 of hardware buttons – volume and Power/ Lock – at the rear, next to the primary camera.
Featuring a 5.9-inch full HD IPS display, the phone is equipped with a 1 watt speaker, which is a first for a smartphone, for better audio experience. Under the hood, there is Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 800 chipset (2.26 GHz quad-core processor, Adreno 330 GPU), along with whopping 3 GB of RAM. On the back, there is a 13 MP (AF + OIS+) camera (with an LED flash) that can shoot 4K videos and also 120 FPS settings; while the front has got a 2.1 MP camera.
As usual, the phone has got the company’s own Optimus UI in top Android 4.4.2 (KitKat). Connectivity-wise, there is microUSB 2.0, Bluetooth 4.0, 3.5mm headset jack, 3G plus 4G LTE, which is compatible with the country’s networks (wherever LTE has been rolled out).
For the Indian market, LG has launched the 32 GB model (expandable via a microSD card). It packs in 3,200 mAh (user accessible) battery cell and onscreen navigation keys.
The G Pro 2 comes in titan, black and white colour options, and is available for Rs 51,500. Flipkart is offering the model in black and white at a good discount.
