On Wednesday, LG unveiled a new smartphone dubbed Optimus G Pro, three weeks after Japanese carrier NTT DOCOMO announced a new LG-made smartphone <a title=\"NTT DOCOMO spills the beans on the LG Optimus G Pro\" href=\"http:\/\/betanews.com\/2013\/01\/22\/ntt-docomo-spills-the-beans-on-the-lg-optimus-g-pro\/\" >dubbed Optimus G Pro<\/a>. The twist &#8212; they are <em>not<\/em> one and the same.<\/p>\n<p>The confusion stems from the fact that the first Optimus G Pro features a 5-inch display while the second model comes with a 5.5-inch display, basically placing the two in different market segments. In terms of panel dimensions, the former is quite similar to the newest batches of Android flagships such as the <a title=\"Sony unveils the Xperia Z and ZL, two new smartphones with Jelly Bean onboard\" href=\"http:\/\/betanews.com\/2013\/01\/08\/sony-unveils-the-xperia-z-and-zl-two-new-smartphones-with-jelly-bean-onboard\/\" >Sony Xperia Z<\/a> while with the latter LG takes the fight to <a title=\"Samsung debuts the Galaxy Note's even bigger little brother\" href=\"http:\/\/betanews.com\/2012\/08\/29\/samsung-debuts-the-galaxy-notes-even-bigger-little-brother\/\" >Samsung&#8217;s Galaxy Note II<\/a>.\u00a0LG should really make up its mind and pick different names for its handsets.<\/p>\n<p>The two devices don&#8217;t even share the same design language. The first one announced comes with a thicker side-bezel, elongated speaker grill and an LED flash under the camera lens, among other things. The model unveiled today reminisces the LG-made Google Nexus 4 in the speaker grill department and the back cover, has a thinner side-bezel and features the LED flash on the right-side of the camera.<\/p>\n<p>LG clearly aims to reinvent the wheel on the curved glass terminology by stating that it features a &#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/2.5D\" >2.5D<\/a>&#8221; effect, which is both misleading and wrongfully used as the term generally applies to virtual geometric models not physical ones. That said, LG did reveal some down-to-Earth information concerning the hardware specifications.<\/p>\n<p>The 5.5-inch display on the newly-announced Optimus G Pro comes with a resolution of 1920 by 1080. The handset is powered by a quad-core processor, likely of Qualcomm origin. LG did not disclose any information related to the software, which is likely <a title=\"Galaxy Nexus HSPA+ with Jelly Bean review\" href=\"http:\/\/betanews.com\/2012\/08\/14\/galaxy-nexus-hspa-with-jelly-bean-review\/\" >Android 4.1 Jelly Bean<\/a> judging by the first Optimus G Pro&#8217;s green droid distribution. Since MWC 2013 (Mobile World Congress) is just around the corner, we can expect more information during the popular event.<\/p>\n<div class=\"feedflare\">\n<a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.betanews.com\/~ff\/bn?a=087jGY1_Qus:Eis-SYxCnpU:qj6IDK7rITs\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/bn?d=qj6IDK7rITs\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.betanews.com\/~ff\/bn?a=087jGY1_Qus:Eis-SYxCnpU:yIl2AUoC8zA\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/bn?d=yIl2AUoC8zA\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a>\n<\/div>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~r\/bn\/~4\/087jGY1_Qus\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\"\/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you&#8217;re confused, you are not alone.
