LG OPTIMUS G PRO<br />

REVIEW<br />

The Optimus G Pro<br />

is narrower and<br />

easier to hold<br />

than the Note II.<br />

rower than its Samsungian rival, which<br />

measures 151.1 x 80.5 x 9.4mm (5.95 x<br />

3.16 x 0.37 inches). This is mainly because<br />

the bezel is much smaller all the<br />

way around the device. LG’s model is<br />

also lighter at 6.06 ounces (172g) versus<br />

the Note II’s 6.35 ounces (180g).<br />

Even though both phones are 9.4mm<br />

thick, they achieve that mark with different<br />

designs. The Note II offers a sloped<br />

edge and slightly curved back to match its<br />

pebble-like, “inspired by nature” design,<br />

which means there isn’t much room to<br />

rest your fingers; the G Pro’s back, on the<br />

other hand, is flat almost all the way to<br />

the sides with rounded corners that meet<br />

up with the phone’s edges more abruptly.<br />

This makes the sides of the phone<br />

straighter than the Note II, and it’s much<br />

more <strong>com</strong>fortable to hold because our<br />

stretched-out fingers have a solid place<br />

to grip onto the phone. We doubt it will<br />

be much of a difference if you have small<br />

The backside<br />

of the<br />

handset<br />

is a bit too<br />

slippery.<br />

hands and a general aversion<br />

to holding large phones, but
