LG is keeping the volume and power buttons in the back. Regardless of how you feel about that, the LG G Pro 2 comes with an impressive specs sheet and some wizardry to set itself apart from other phablets.
The display is IPS full HD and measures 5.9″ with a 3.3mm. That’s a gigantic screen and even though I’m not into phablets, I’d love to give this one a spin. The 13MP camera is becoming a standard and with the G Pro 2 it gives you the flexibility to shoot at 120fps – just like Apple’s iPhone 5S – at full HD, and has 4K video recording mode as well. I’m not sure how that will look like on phones but it sure seems impressive. Borrowing from Lytro, you can also adjust the focal point after taking the image.
There’s a lot in this phone to look for, so here are the full features and specs:
- 120FPS HD Video Recording and Slow-Motion Editing: Records in 120fps HD and allows editing of video in three different speeds — one-half slow motion, one-fourth slow motion and original
- 4K ULTRA HD Recording: Records video footage in ultra-high definition mode for playback on 4K TV sets
- Magic Focus: After the shot is taken, the user has the option to select the preferred depth of focus before saving. Users could also press the ‘All in Focus’ icon to set focus on all spots of the picture.
- Natural Flash: Offers a much more balanced color temperature and exposure compared to the normal flash, which results in a most natural image just as it is in real life.
- Flash for Selfie: Reduces the size of the preview screen and adds a bright white background for more “soft” lighting in self-portrait mode
- Burst Shot: Takes up to 20 continuous shots and automatically edits them to create a video of the captured images
- Gallery Collage: Allows users to select photos from their gallery to create a collage for easy uploading to favorite social network sites.
- Content Lock: Provides users more security with the ability to lock files, photos, videos and memos with a unique password.
- Mini View: Enables users to comfortably use the G Pro 2 with one hand by shrinking the display to a size ranging from 3.4 inches to 4.7 inches, depending on the user’s preference.
- Dual Browser: Divides the expansive screen into two separate browser windows for more convenient surfing.
