hi this black virgin here at mobile world congress 2014 in barcelona and take a look at LG G pro 2 there's a 5.9 inch 1080p device which the company is unapologetically describing as a phablet and it wants to give you the ultimate phablet experience it follows up from the LG G flex which is a six inch device it's roughly the same size and it has pretty similar specs it also has a quad-core Snapdragon processor inside it physically it's very similar in terms of dimensions though obviously it lacks the curvature but also the Tunis the two devices come with new features one of them is called NOC code which is being simulated here in the G flex which is essentially a way to unlock your phone while the screen is off with a pattern of taps or as LG describes and knocks you can see a demonstration that right here under the new G pro two it's quite it's quite a neat little feature and aside from that you really do don't get many buttons a lot of it is screen interaction you just get the power button and the volume rocker in the back as is typical with LG's t-series at the moment a couple of other new features of companies added is a split screen view so when you hold the back button you get to split screen between two apps so you can have the internet browser up top and let's say YouTube down at the bottom if you want to look at it two side-by-side and then you can adjust which one gets more screen real estate another thing is if the 5.9 inch size is too big for you you can actually swipe and shrink it down to a mini give which you can then resize and expand to your preference also LG has put a 1 watt set of speakers in here it describes a Miss HiFi sound so that's an upgrade there it also has a new set of camera applications and camera features which includes and you mode which lets you adjust focus after you take a photo this is pretty much the same thing as nokia has with its Lumia cameras where you take a series of photos and then you can select your focus distance after the shoulders taken as you can actually see from this demonstration there is a time delay between the photos obviously because they take them one after the other but it does give you the option to focus further or closer after you've taken the shot which is more flexible than just taking one single picture aside from those new features this is still pretty much a relatively standard phablets it's quite large but as I would you point out it has even thinner bezels around the sides then on the company's flagship smartphone the g2 and it's relatively compact pretty nice in the hands for such a large device suicide from those extra added features that LG has put into the software this is still pretty much a standard android phablet the likes of which we've seen for both HTC and samsung and even Sony there isn't that much to distinguish it but LG hopes that good performance an extra few features will give people a reason to buy you
