This time it&#8217;s the LG Optimus G Pro, an Android 4.1.2 handset boasting a large 5.5-inch, full high-definition screen. Pre-orders for the phone, which is $199 with contract, <a href=\"http:\/\/feedproxy.google.com\/~r\/OmMalik\/~3\/azwv_p00G1g\/www.att.com\/optimusgpro\">begin on May 3<\/a>\u00a0and AT&#38;T will sweeten the deal with a free Quick Cover folio case for the handset.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/gigaom2.files.wordpress.com\/2013\/05\/lg-optimus-g-pro-angled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"LG Optimus G Pro angled\" src=\"http:\/\/gigaom2.files.wordpress.com\/2013\/05\/lg-optimus-g-pro-angled.jpg?w=340&#038;h=717\" width=\"340\" height=\"717\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-641191\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>LG&#8217;s Optimus G Pro is the follow-up to the company&#8217;s Optimus G from last year. That phone was also <a href=\"http:\/\/gigaom.com\/2012\/11\/13\/nexus-4-review-a-fantastic-phone-even-without-lte\/\">very similar to the Nexus 4<\/a> that Google partnered with LG to design and build. As good as the Optimus G was &#8212; it has been one of LG&#8217;s best sellers to date &#8212; the new Optimus G Pro offers substantial upgrades including:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"line-height:13px;\">Qualcomm&#8217;s 1.7 GHz quad-core processor and 2 GB of RAM<\/span><\/li>\n<li>Full 1080p resolution on the 5.5-inch display, which is 400 pixels per inch<\/li>\n<li>A huge 3140 mAh battery, which should easily last a full day<\/li>\n<li>Rear camera with 13 megapixel sensor and front-facing 2.1 megapixel camera<\/li>\n<li>Internal storage of 32 GB with a micro SD expansion slot<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Of course, the phone uses AT&#38;T&#8217;s LTE network where coverage allows and falls back to HSPA+ service as needed. I&#8217;m not a fan of smartphone exclusives &#8212; <a href=\"http:\/\/gigaom.com\/2012\/10\/04\/like-2-year-contracts-smartphone-exclusives-need-to-go-away\/\">here&#8217;s why<\/a> &#8212; but this is another solid smartphone offering from AT&#38;T that should rival its other flagship phones ranging from the Apple iPhone to Galaxy S 4 and HTC One.<\/p>\n<p> <img loading=\"lazy\"
