Mobile Sellular

LG is already prepping its next handset, the Optimus G Pro, for launch, even though the Optimus G — the basis for the Google’s Nexus 4 — appeared just five months ago and is still rolling out in 50 new markets.

The Optimus G Pro is slated for an April release date, according to Japanese carrier NT DoCoMo. The company detailed its smartphone lineup, which includes the Optimus G Pro, on Tuesday. It’s remarkable, because LG hasn’t formally announced the phone yet, and the rumor is that won’t happen until Mobile World Congress in Barcelona next month.

According to NT DoCoMo, the Optimus G Pro will feature a 5-inch, 1080-display, Qualcomm’s Snapdragon S4 quad-core CPU, 2GB of RAM, 32GB of built-in storage and 4G LTE connectivity. It’ll run Google’s Android 4.1 Jelly Bean operating system. Since LG hasn’t officially acknowledged the phone’s existence, we don’t know for certain whether it’ll land in the United States. But, the fact the Optimus G is sold here by AT&T and Sprint — and the Nexus 4 has gotten all kinds of critical acclaim — it’s a safe bet the Optimus G Pro will arrive on our shores sometime this year.
