Design:

LG Optimus G Pro has a standard bar design nothing special in our opinion but is distinguishable when hunting in a throng of handsets.

Conclusion:

Playing with LG Optimus G Pro for a week has been a good experience for myself personally. It has some of the software features like Quick Remote which comes really handy sometimes and can be put to great use. The camera itself is good not best though. The performance has been amazing with the Snapdragon 600 processor and 2GB of RAM. It was a pleasant experience using LG Optimus G Pro and we would suggest any Android lover to consider this as an option while buying when you find a good deal. It is a high end smartphone and competing with Samsung Galaxy S4 and HTC One, we can consider it in the list for 33k as an optimal price justifying the device, its specifications and brand value.
