LG&#8217;s Optimus G Pro offers a 1.7GHz quad-core processor, 2GB of RAM, a 5.5-inch 1920&#215;1080 display with a pixel density of 400ppi, and a 13 megapixel rear-facing camera. The G Pro will be available on a two-year agreement for $199.99, and packs AT&amp;T 4G LTE cellular connectivity.<\/p>\n<p>Chris checked out the <a  href=\"http:\/\/tctechcrunch2011.files.wordpress.com\/2013\/02\/gpro1.jpg?w=640\">G Pro back in February<\/a> at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, and came away with a decidedly positive overall impression. The phone&#8217;s high points seem to be its camera and light and slim design, as well as a built-in IR blaster that means it can operate as a universal remote for you TV and other home electronics.<\/p>\n<p><span class='embed-youtube' style='text-align:center; display: block;'><iframe class='youtube-player' type='text\/html' width='640' height='360' src='http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/JHGlUpO634g?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;%23038;fs=1&#038;%23038;showsearch=0&#038;%23038;showinfo=1&#038;%23038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;%23038;wmode=transparent' frameborder='0'><\/iframe><\/span><\/p>\n<p>The phone&#8217;s arrival was hardly a surprise, having been leaked earlier by <a  href=\"http:\/\/www.androidcentral.com\/source-lg-optimus-g-pro-headed-att-may\">Android Central<\/a>, which pegged the exact date. Then LG announced an event for today, May 1, and went on to confirm that this would indeed be about the <a  href=\"http:\/\/www.androidpolice.com\/2013\/04\/22\/lg-spills-the-beans-may-1st-event-in-nyc-will-debut-the-optimus-g-pro-for-the-us\/\">Optimus G Pro late in April<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>For LG, it&#8217;s a phone that follows the Optimus G, a flagship device that has done fairly well so far, hitting the 1 million sales mark back in January of this year, after a release in September 2012. The G also provided the basic groundwork for Google&#8217;s Nexus 4 Android reference device, which reached <a href=\"http:\/\/techcrunch.com\/2013\/02\/08\/millionth-nexus-4\/\">1 million in handset sales in February<\/a>, according to an estimate based on serial numbers\u00a0calculated\u00a0by Nexus 4 owners.<\/p>\n<p>The G Pro will be going up against the extremely well-reviewed HTC One, and the Android juggernaut, Samsung&#8217;s Galaxy S4, so it&#8217;s got a lot to compete with. But for fans of the last two major LG-made devices, this looks to be decently attractive upgrade.<\/p>\n<p>  <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http:\/\/feeds.wordpress.com\/1.0\/gocomments\/tctechcrunch2011.wordpress.com\/810173\/\"><\/a> <\/p>\n<div class=\"feedflare\">\n<a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/crunchgear?a=bSo41d6q8lo:XHx47Cy9CBI:V_sGLiPBpWU\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/crunchgear?i=bSo41d6q8lo:XHx47Cy9CBI:V_sGLiPBpWU\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/crunchgear?a=bSo41d6q8lo:XHx47Cy9CBI:F7zBnMyn0Lo\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/crunchgear?i=bSo41d6q8lo:XHx47Cy9CBI:F7zBnMyn0Lo\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/crunchgear?a=bSo41d6q8lo:XHx47Cy9CBI:yIl2AUoC8zA\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/crunchgear?d=yIl2AUoC8zA\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>LG&#8217;s Optimus G successor, the G Pro, is coming to AT&amp;T on May 10 with pre-orders beginning May 3, the companies revealed in a press release today.
