LG Optimus G Pro

The LG Optimus G Pro E988 is a premium phablet from the 'other' Korean smartphone maker. Much like the Samsung Galaxy Note II, the G Pro has a 5.5-inch display, but with a better 1920 x 1080 pixel resolution. It may not have a built-in Stylus like the Note, but the G Pro's display is the high-sensitivity variety, allowing input even when you're wearing gloves. It is powered by a 1.7GHz quad-core Snapdragon 600 chipset, 2GB of RAM and has 16GB of internal storage (along with a microSD card slot too). It runs Android 4.1 Jelly Bean, which as of today is a little outdated. In terms of connectivity, you've got WiFi's latest 802.11ac standard onboard, along with 4G LTE support too. 3G speeds are not too shabby as well, with the highest possible support of 42Mbps.

There's a 13 megapixel camera at the back with a myriad of features like image stabilization, Panorama, HDR (High Dynamic Range), Face detection etc. It does HDR video as well in 1080p Full HD. The 2.1 megapixel front-facing camera can shoot high-definition video too. All these powerful-sounding components are provided power by a big 3140 mAh battery, which should result in acceptable up-times.
