LG launched a new cost-effective 5.5-inch smartphone, the G Pro Lite, which shares its DNA with the company’s previous flagship, the Optimus G Pro, but with a mainstream feature-set; all that while dumping the “Optimus” moniker, like the current LG G2 flagship.
The G Pro Lite looks exactly like the Optimus G Pro, with the same exact dimensions of 150.2 x 76.9 x 9.4 mm, while being 10 grams lighter, at 161 g. Its 5.5-inch screen features an IPS LCD panel, which features qHD at 960 x 540 pixels resolution, compared to the full-HD at 1920 x 1080 pixels resolution of the Optimus G Pro. The imaging department of the G Pro Lite is lighter on paper, too, with an 8-megapixel BSI CMOS primary camera, and a 1.3-megapixel front-facing one; compared to the 13-megapixel primary + 2.1 megapixel front-facing cameras on the Optimus G Pro.
In terms of specs, the G Pro Lite is vastly different from the Optimus G Pro. It has a MediaTek MT6577 SoC, with a dual-core ARM Cortex-A9 CPU clocked at 1.00 GHz, and PowerVR SGX-544MP2 graphics; 1 GB of LPDDR2 RAM, and 8 GB of storage that’s expandable with micro-SDHC, for up to 32 GB. The phone runs the same Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean operating system that its richer sibling debuted with, with the same exact UI features. A piece of specification that didn’t change between the two is battery, both having a 3,140 mAh battery, which should do wonders for the hardware at hand.
According to the company, the G Pro Lite will make its world debut this month in Latin America followed by markets in Asia, Russia, China, India and the Middle East, later this month.
