2013-02-25
hey everyone this is Anton front pocket now Michael behind the camera and we are here in Barcelona at the LG booth taking a look at the LG optimus g pro d possible galaxy note 2 not even killer but competitor let's take a look so talking about specifications we have a 5.5 inch IPS full HD display for 400 PPI on the top we have a headset we have a ambient light sensor and a proximity sensor and a 2.1 megapixel front-facing sure going down to the bottom below the huge screen we have the home button which resembles almost every Samsung and LG phone and next to them we have a android back button and a menu button rolling it to the side we have a power button and absolutely nothing else but we do have the place where you can peel the back battery cover off despite the fact that we've been told that this is included and embedded now hopping up to the back we have a 13 megapixel camera with an LED flash you'll notice the U plus this is a Korean version but the international version will have the exact same specifications going down towards the bottom we have the LG logo of course we just covered up plus the micro USB port and a microphone which will pick up mainly your voice popping in to the other side I'll talk more about this button in a second we have a volume rocker for volume up and volume down and on the top we have a 3.5 millimeter headphone jack with an iron blaster and the secondary microphone for noise cancellation but let's talk about software and I'll tell you more about this button right now so the Jeepers running Android 4.1 at the moment of LG's proprietary user interface on top of it and it doesn't have a stylist but in this case your fingers the stylist just like it was with the optimist view and to demonstrate that will go into for instance messaging and here's this button which you will press and the user interface will change so that you can select your tools for instance this color and this pen we have several types of brushes and you can use your finger to write or annotate and you can of course use the eraser and everything you note on that page will be saved and it will be available for your later reference now hopping back before we do that there's an interesting feature for instance say you're in a phone conversation with somebody or you're having an email or you're writing something down using the cue memo and you write down the number it will he will hit that button and basically your whole note on that screen will remain visible you hop out back of the application you'll still have your note there for instance you'll go into contacts or your phone and dial in the phone number which you have just noted call away press the button once again and it will disappear and now let's take a look at qslide which is LG's mode of making multiple windows happen we've seen videos running in the background for previous devices but in this particular case there are a couple of applications which allow you to have them in a window state let's try that out with for instance calculator right here as you can see right now it is full screen but you can hit that button right there and it will give you a cue slide activation of course it's a guide and it will have the window right there loading on top it is of course resizable so you can change the size of that and you can mess around with the transparency so you'll see what's beneath that let's get back to the home screen and kill that just two words about build quality it feels good in hand it's of course made out of plastic it's that kind of plastic which resembles the nexus 4 i'm trying to get the light on it in a proper way LCD next is for like squares shining and different light conditions it's of course plastic but it feels good it's not cheap so this much about the LG optimus g pro we'll be back with you with a comparison between the LG optimus g pro and the samsung galaxy note 2 anthem front pocket now Michael behind the camera thank you very much for watching stay tuned for more you
