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
