LG Might Unveil the G Pro 2 This Month in Korea


LG will reveal its upcoming smartphone, the LG G Pro 2, at an event in Korea on Feb. 13, ZDNet.kr reports. The company sent invites for an event on that date, named "Knock-knock-knockin' on," probably referring to LG's Knock On feature which lets you wake a smartphone from its sleep with two taps on the screen.

Rumors claim the G Pro 2 will have a 6-inch screen, a quad-core Snapdragon 800 processor, 3GB of RAM and a 13-megapixel camera.

So, if LG unveils the G Pro 2 in Korea, what's left to show at the Mobile World Congress, taking place Feb. 21 - 24 in Barcelona? Perhaps it will only be a European premiere of the G Pro 2 — LG actually did the same thing last year with the Optimus G Pro — but maybe LG has a surprise or two up its sleeve.

Phone Arena claims the G Pro 2 won't be LG's flagship for the year. In fact, the company's Galaxy S5 killer will be called the LG G3, and it might have a 5.5-inch screen with a 1440x2560 pixel resolution. That handset, however, is likely to come in May.

We'll be following LG's unveiling on Feb. 13, and we'll report on any news the company might announce during the MWC in Barcelona.
