Not 100% sure if it is coming to Sprint or not. But I could see it happening.

 

I hope so. I would love to see LG compete in the phablet space.  LG was too hesitant last year to make a big splash with the LG Optimus G Pro and only sold it on AT&T.  This year LG needs to take the same approach as they did with the LG G2 and LG G Flex and offer it to all 4 carriers.

when they say "introduced next month" that doesn't mean released next month, right?

 

I doubt it.  If anything they might just introduce it at MWC with a release time frame of around Apr/May.  I think LG's release cycle is flipped 180 degrees from Samsung and HTC.  Samsung and HTC like to release their flagship 5 in smartphones devices in the Apr/May time frame while LG likes to release their phablet device.  In Sept/Oct, Samsung and HTC like to release their phablet devices while LG likes to release their 5 in smartphones.

Speculation that the LG G Pro 2 has been benchmarked.

http://www.androidheadlines.com/2014/02/has-the-g-pro-2-been-benchmarked-in-antutu.html

 

6 inch screen size, 1920x1080 screen resolution

Snapdragon 800

Android 4.4

3GB Ram

32GB Internal Storage

 

What do you guys think?

Looks good to me. (For myself, add external storage SD card support and it will be a winner.)

Although I'm a little hesitant based on LG's history with updates, I'm eagerly anticipating this device. Just hoping that it's a solid/great RF performer. If it's heading to Sprint I would assume that it would be a tri-band device.

 

My huge paws and horrible eyes are waiting for this 6" phone.

As for the LG rf performance g2's are quite responsive in the Rf world and easily outperforms the radio from my previous GS3 with a modified modem. Also the Nexus 5 is a stellar RF device and it bears the LG stamp as well.

True William,

I'm currently using the Evo LTE. And while the screen is extremely nice and measures in at 4.7", I'm looking specifically for the following features:

 

5.7+" screen

non-Amoled screen

Solid/great RF performer (I'm using probably the worst RF performer of all time)

Tri-band

Capable/very good camera

 

Due to a vision impairment, an AOSP-style (dark) "Settings" menu layout...which I'm assuming I'll have to concede if the G Pro 2 comes to Sprint.

 

The One max probably comes the closest to my requirements, I'm just not a fan of the style/look of the max and really need a great RF performer.

 

The style of the G2 is great, just need something bigger, especially for my poor eyes.

It appears that there will be a MicroSD on this phone.  Additionally, there's a report of a removable battery.  If these two conditions are met, then this phone has checked all the boxes for me...

Seeing multiple reports (sorry no link...I'm lazy) of an SD card slot and removable battery. Unknown at this time which/any U.S. carrier support. Of course no mention of LTE bands (other than the Korean-specific LTE-A bands).

 

IF it comes to Sprint with tri-band support, this will be my HTC Evo 4G LTE replacement. I'm hoping for at least G2 comparable RF performance.

 

ps...I'm ready now LG, if you have one handy to go out the door.

And if execs are saying April, then that means May. I'm patient, so as long as it's coming to Sprint and tri-band, it's all good. I've had to put up with the poor performing Evo 4G LTE for so long another couple of months doesn't make any difference.

I'm in the same boat with my EVO as well, but the new EVO updates will help me hang on.  If Sprint brings the LG G Pro 2 onto their network, and the specs are correct, then I'll look very hard at getting one.  I had an LG feature phone years ago, and it was a very nicely built device.

/\/\/\ Agreed. The 4.3 update will hold me over for a while on my Evo as well. Battery life is no comparison to 4.1.12 MeanBean ROM I was running, but fortunately I've got the option to charge at any time during the day. Still hoping for an LG carrier announcement for the G Pro 2 at MWC this week.

 

Not holding my breath, but it sure would be nice.

If it's a few months away, that will be alright too. I'm already conditioning (read: saving money) myself to pay for devices outright. I can ween myself off of subsidies.

Brad from Engadget posted his review of the Korean version. Still no word on U.S. carrier support.

Removable battery and SD card support is great.

 

Reading the G2 thread, it seems as if the G Pro 2 has some comparable bugs.

#1 Spotty RF reception

#2 Navigation/compass issues

 

These two things are somewhat worrisome considering LG's history of updating devices.

I'm chomping at the bit to get this beauty in Sprint tri-band flavor, but will probably have a wait and see attitude.

 

I'm looking for a solid/very good RF performer. And although navigation isn't something I use daily, I do use it often and it is important.

 

Looking forward to a post on The Wall from AJ or Josh in the future when it (hopefully) hits the OET.

Couldn't agree with you more.

I'm a little hesitant on a couple of things:

 

1. LG's history with updating their devices.

(although this seems to be improving)

 

2. GPS issues evident with some G2 owners, and a review listed this as an issue as well.

 

3. (Sprint) Developer support.

 

I have followed @LGUSAMobile and have tweeted them everyday the past 10 days or so saying that I'm ready for a Sprint LGGPro2. #LGGPro2Ready

    • Just revisiting the RCS issue and discussing another point I find odd.  Yeah, my family and close friends and most coworkers still mostly use whats app in our chats due to the odd RCS issues.   Some have Apple phones, some Samsung.  But using Facebook Messenger or Whats App handily eliminates those issues.   But the other thing I find odd is how all the information out there states that to use the Smart View app to mirror your phone to your TV that your TV and your phone have to be on the same wifi network.  That is 100 percent untrue.  I've historically not had wifi at home and only use it in our common areas in our community or occasionally at work.  But primarily I just use my phone for everything and do not have wifi at home.  It's because I haven't needed it.  I've been using all my Samsung phones for the better part of a decade now as my entertainment center because it's simple, effective, portable and absolutely does not require a wifi connection for my TV in order to cast all the content from my phone.  I'm not sure why it is stated that it is required.  The two devices - as we all no doubt know - create a wifi direct connection between the two devices in order for smart view to work, however, no general wifi network is required at all.  Again, I've been enjoying the feature for close to a decade but I find it odd that they say that you need wifi at home to use it.  Samsung television sets, Roku TV sets, LG TV sets (I cast to all of them at work regularly, again, sans wifi) and TCL TVs are all compatible.  There are likely more but these are the ones that I regularly screen mirror to, again, without the two devices being on the same network (this is separate from the notion of creating a wifi direct connection between the 2 in order to enable the service). This is the sole reason I only buy Samsung phones.   I tried a Pixel device before the Pixel 8 (which was the first to allow display out via wired connection for streaming) but it simply did not offer the same feature.   I wonder why they say this.  It's interesting if nothing else.  
    • Yeah, I probably see it through a Washington/Oregon market lens. And maybe a little Nebraska too.  These are the only places I have monitored Tmo overlay of USC closely. Tmo has already added service on 80% of the same towers that were unique to USC just 5 years ago around here.  The 20% left are either too close to an existing Tmo site, or, probably already on Tmo's plans to collocation.  But there is one USC site on the beach where our family likes to go that I am dying for Tmo to add service.  There won't be a lot of new coverage added here. But I have not done really any review in other USC areas.  But I definitely think it's a good move. Robert
    • Found Ericsson C-band+DoD in Brooklyn. What tipped me off was when I mapped a new eNB in this area on Halloween but I didn't see any permits for a new site in the area and the sectors I mapped matched the existing site that was there. Drove by it today and sure enough it's an Ericsson C-band + DoD site, likely one of the first in the city.  This is eNB 110340, formerly eNB 115257. — — — — — Also a T-Mobile new build in Queens. The permit for this one was submitted last year as a replacement for another monopole that got demolished nearby. It must've only recently got installed because it was offline when I drove by it.
