LG confirms G Pro 2 premium smartphone

The LG Optimus G Pro flagship was released in the United States and Canada in May 2013 and now it seems its successor could arrive sooner than expected, as the South Korean phone maker confirmed that the LG G Pro 2 will launch soon. Unfortunately, all specs are unknown at this time.

A Korean language post on LG's blog that was published earlier today simply confirms the launch of the LG G Pro 2 for February. There are no other details regarding the smartphone/phablet, but since the Optimus G Pro had high-end specs back in 2013, most rumors claim the G Pro 2 will also come loaded with best hardware for its release date.

The LG G Pro was powered by a 1.7 GHz quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 600 processor, had 2 GB of RAM and 32 GB of internal storage, a 5.5-inch Full HD screen and a 13 MP back-facing camera. Rumored features of the LG G Pro 2 include a Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 processor, 3 GB of RAM, 6-inch Full HD display and support for LTE-Advanced. While LG G Pro was loaded with Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean, it is obvious that its follower will get Android 4.4 KitKat.

Now LG has to announce the date of the launch event and when that happens we will get back to the topic, but images and technical specs may leak in the near future as well.
