LG Electronics releases Optmus G Pro in U.S.
South Korean tech giant LG Electronics Inc. released its Optimus G Pro smartphone in the U.S Friday, the company said.
U.S. customers can purchase the latest version of the Optimus G smartphone line-up through AT&T and local retail stores, it said.
In February, the South Korean smartphone maker launched its 5.5-inch Optimus G Pro in its home country, joining the race of smartphones with bigger and brighter displays.
In March, LG, the world's third-largest smartphone maker, also released the full HD smartphone via Japan's largest mobile operator NTT DoCoMo.
LG Electronics said that the Optimus G Pro features an IPS display that consumes 50 percent less energy and is twice as bright as AMOLED screens of the same size.
The Optimus G Pro runs on Qualcomm Inc.'s 1.7 GHz quad-core Snapdragon 600 processor, an improved version of the Snapdragon S4 Pro processor in the Optimus G.
The follow-up model also comes with a 13-megapixel rear camera and a 2.1-megapixel front camera that can be used simultaneously for "dual recording," it said earlier.
The long-term evolution phone runs on the Android Jelly Bean platform.
Sales of the Optimus G Pro broke the 500,000 mark in the first 40 days following its launch, becoming LG Electronics' fastest-selling smartphone.
LG Electronics Co. ranked third in the world in terms of smartphone shipment for the first time on the back of strong demand for its flagship smartphone Optimus G line-up, according to data compiled by research firm Strategic Analysis Inc.
LG Electronics sold a total 10.3 million smartphones in the first quarter, doubling from 4.9 million units sold a year earlier, with its market share standing at 4.9 percent, the data showed.
