Final Words

Simply put, I think the LG G Pro 2 is a solid evolution of the LG G2 design. While I went into the review expecting a phone that wasn’t much more than an attempt to cash in on the phablet trend, LG has definitely put in enough that I found the phone to be surprisingly good. LG has managed to avoid many of the pitfalls that TouchWiz has with its UI by keeping things somewhat more tidy and understandable, but also added features that are good enough to be incredibly obvious in hindsight. While there’s some room for improvement in display calibration, the UI could use a better theme, and I’m not sure who will use features like Content Lock, the phone is surprisingly good. Features like KnockCode are a great addition to KnockOn, Mini View helps to alleviate some of the issues with using a phablet, and the multiwindow function works well, if a bit clunky from a UI perspective. LG is doing many things right with this phone, possibly more than Samsung did with the Note 3. The real question now is whether it’ll come to western regions without major changes.

    The LG Nexus 5 and the LG G2 are part of the Anandtech.com audio benchmarking article from a month or so ago.

    With the massive movement towards smartphones, buying a phone has never been so complicated. It's not longer enough to simply buy a phone that dials numbers, takes grainy pictures, and send text messages.

    Looks good. It supports Meenova MicroSD reader to add storage: http://goo.gl/2iJ6gf
