*LG G Pro 2 Review - going big* Read it here: www.androidauthority.com/lg-g-pro-2-review-356070/ While the LG G Pro 2 is a big jump from the Optimus G Pro, is it enough of an upgrade from the LG G2? We find out in this in-depth LG G Pro 2 review! By ***** #LG #LGGPro2
My note 3 gets about the same amount of hours of battery with screen on time. Even if you turn the brightness to like 5 percent it'll still drain the battery pretty fast if the screen is on. If you keep it off and have music going at about 45 percent it'll last for two or three days. So blame the pixels.
I own the g pro and it's a fantastic phone. Went and bought a stylus too so I don't get fingerprints all over the screen and it does come in handy for a bigger phone. I'm sure the g pro 2 will be a hit when it comes to the US if it can get the right push and people stop saying who copied who and just let the equipment do the talking. Basically all these phones have most of the same components anyway so you choose which one YOU like.
Watching this video on my red G Pro 2. To those who want to know, the international version does not come with the antenna or extra battery. The back is still removable and expandable storage is still available.
Trust me , go for the Gold version of the LG G2, the phone is just beautiful. with awesome plastic on the back you wont see any fingerprints, and 32 gb is pretty enough!
around 6" is a perfect size for me as 6"4 with huge hands. natural one hand operation. more 6" phones please. *hinting at Z2 Ultra* :D pro 2 looks nice but i dig sony more.
Thank gosh I got the Note 3 Its amazing all around. Great Battery Life,Performance and good camera. When I got it the phone I thought it would be huge but it doesnt look that big. Dont knock it out until you try it people.
Top of my list this year for I have the first g pro and it's still going strong although I am flashed with cyanogenmod cm11 M4. ;P going to wait for the G3, HTC m8, and note 4 b4 I really pull the trigger.
Pretty good phone. Was disappointed that the side bezel is thick compared to the G2s bezel. If it was as slim as the G2s it would be much easier to hold for a Phablet size screen. Besides that its nice
Well, it lasted 7 hours with heavy use, GPS, full brightness, no power saving mode, wifi or 4g activated, gaming, photos and video etc, which leads to video watching... so...I find that normal for a screen that size
LG G3 or LG PRO 2? I've seen both in personal and i fell inlove with the pro 2!!! but lot of people say i should get the G3 :( Can you guys give me some opinions on what should i get? And why? Thaaanks.
My Note 3 screen shattered yesterday and I'm pissed. I thought it was suppose to be durable. I had a iPhone 4S for 2 years drop it and it never broke this is bullshit.
(1) Lenovo have a 4000mAh battery in one of their phones - why not LG? (2) The short video at 6:18 showed focus 'hunting'. (3) The volume rocker buttons at the back could be replaced by audio commands "LG, volume up/down" - extend to "LG, brightness up/down" and maybe many others. Overall, a great phone.
The battery life is good enough to last me through a day with mild usage although if I had 100 when I go to sleep, when I wake up 7 hours later, it's only at 90
what ever happened to reviewers actually reviewing the actual phone and showing us its software features, even tho we need to know hardware specs it seems they just make videos telling us what we already know or can find out easily
I think your analysis of the battery is incorrect. I've gone through multiple forums for many phones before I decided to buy this and I've seen similar battery performance on most phones on "pretty high usage", except for may be the Z2 which is easily breakable as you've shown.
Eric Nonis It sure is. I always have data on, pretty active on social networking, music, take lot of photos, frequently peep through the "window" with the LG flip case on. I got 2 days of battery in the initial days and easily over 24 hours and much longer after the battery saver kicks on (at 20% for me).
Ohhh... That's good, so that means I can go through a whole day without problems? I'm considering between this and the One Max, but idk how battery life is like... I think I'm drawn to the G Pro 2 even more now.
Hey friend how it fared Relationship them one battery life , I Had That 52 OR 57 hours of use , but the pace of high Display WAS ? and the intense USE OR WAS Almost None ? Thank you !
I am using LG G pro2 D383. I want to hard rest my phone but following the procedure (volume down+power key) to hard rest on my phone 3 options appears on my phone in korean language i tried all these options nothing happen at all just phone gets start normally. Please help me do do this
Hi can i ask about the wifi speed of this unit Lg g pro 2? Is it fast? how about the range of wifi connection? because i already have an Lg optimus g pro before. F240l korean version. The wifi connection is so weak and slow. when i'm in my room i can't connect to wifi connection, But my secondary phone nexus S can connect and reach wifi in my room.
Why do you guys, pocket now, techno buffalo or other reviewers all hate plastic backs? Shouldn't the software and or function of the phone be the most important? I could really care less what the phone was made out of
hello everyone I'm Italian so I could write badly. I wanted to know how fluidity and stability and battery how it behaves compared to a known 3 What do you think of the support of LG? the phone bug? Thanks to all
Josh....like your vids.... but write a script man, lol "even the colourful default optimus UI shines through this IPS screen THAT DOES ALSO DOES quite well in direct sunlight".....haha
G Pro 2's battery life is worse because of kik kat... It has that effect on most devices right now. Glad I'm rooted and running a custom ROM on my G2. Get awesome battery life
This LG devices doesn't support WiFi Direct sharing. The other device must be of LG. Using third party apps is just so uncomfortable... Not sure if LG is coming up with a update so as to use WiFi Direct sharing ...
LOL Thank you Sumit Setia No one has responded in over four months and I ended up buying the LG G3 instead. Even though it's not as big as I want it's actually a really great mobile device.
JlandelMoncada1 Yeah I'm getting the G2 in 2 days on t-mobile it's amazing I had it on sprint but sprint is garbage. Until spark is released in more cities.
I'm calling foul on the battery life. I'm a heavy user and even using all day, mine never gets below 30%. Stop watching porn videos all day and your battery will last longer.

It's like a straight inflexible LG G Flex.
I love the look of that back.
good
A beast in specs!
Horrible sound, uniformative review
I like the quality of this guy's videos, knows how to talk, not too loud, knows what to talk about. Keep at it !!

can this run on us carriers?
Great!
Jordan Simkovic ya, LTE is not available though, HSPA and 3G is available
Hey, how is the phone's performance? Especially battery life....
It's more good than you espect
I think android authority makes the BEST reviews for smart phones. Great job josh, keep up the good work.
Trust me , go for the Gold version of the LG G2, the phone is just beautiful. with awesome plastic on the back you wont see any fingerprints, and 32 gb is pretty enough!
I always enjoy your reviews. I often wait for the prices to drop and refer to your reviews as a buying guide.
around 6" is a perfect size for me as 6"4 with huge hands. natural one hand operation. more 6" phones please. *hinting at Z2 Ultra* :D pro 2 looks nice but i dig sony more.
Thank gosh I got the Note 3 Its amazing all around. Great Battery Life,Performance and good camera. When I got it the phone I thought it would be huge but it doesnt look that big. Dont knock it out until you try it people.
I like the multi-function window and the knockcode..i would appreciate a stylet with it…
hi,,,nice explanation, but you have not said how the infrared rays ????,, because this device has a QR app .....
This phone is going to completely kill the Note 3 when the price goes down a bit and is available for all carriers.
Hope LG comes out comes a prime version of the pro 2 to compete against the Note 4
Top of my list this year for I have the first g pro and it's still going strong although I am flashed with cyanogenmod cm11 M4. ;P going to wait for the G3, HTC m8, and note 4 b4 I really pull the trigger.

lol what my G2 gets 2+ days of moderate usage and almost 10 hours of on screen time, i dont see how this battery can be worse
bigger screen.
Well, it lasted 7 hours with heavy use, GPS, full brightness, no power saving mode, wifi or 4g activated, gaming, photos and video etc, which leads to video watching... so...I find that normal for a screen that size
You and ***** are the only two people I trust on everything pocket tech.
LG G3 or LG PRO 2? I've seen both in personal and i fell inlove with the pro 2!!! but lot of people say i should get the G3 :( Can you guys give me some opinions on what should i get? And why? Thaaanks.
Thanks!!! I got the lg g3 yesterday and its amazing!!!
My Note 3 screen shattered yesterday and I'm pissed. I thought it was suppose to be durable. I had a iPhone 4S for 2 years drop it and it never broke this is bullshit.
You don't even have a note 3 stop flossing.
Seriously? The iPhone 4/4S screens cracked every time someone sneezed.
Ledwin Rodriguez fuck boy.
Typical RUclips comments lol
Robert Moeller Typical situation on non- pro apple topics
(1) Lenovo have a 4000mAh battery in one of their phones - why not LG? (2) The short video at 6:18 showed focus 'hunting'. (3) The volume rocker buttons at the back could be replaced by audio commands "LG, volume up/down" - extend to "LG, brightness up/down" and maybe many others. Overall, a great phone.
omfg i just bought an lg 2 .. -.-
now i will have to return it and wait for this one
when is it coming out??
Excellent review as always. thanks.
Should i buy this or wait for the g3
05:26 you have 58 hours on the battery. How does that show contrast to what you're saying?
love it ...it's the smallest 6 incher it's only 1sm taller than my note(the original one) and it's 5 grams lighter
Wouldn't you use a case for this phone then? It would solve your issue of 'slipperiness'.
Awesome review as always Joshua!!
so how much is this? the lg g pro was great for its mid range price
I am owner of LG G2 and for that price i payed, i am 110% satisfied! Masterpiece! :) Just waiting for 4.4.x. (Czech Republic) :D so faaast please! :P
Is anybody else hearing a lot of background noise?
I guess someone forgot to edit the sound of this video...
There's soft music playing in the background. I don't hear anything besides that.
Thanks for reviewing it so thoroughly
no wonder lg g pro 2 has poor battery life.
It's only 3200 with 5.9inch screen. But g2 has 3000 with 5.2 inch screen (except korean ver.)
Users of the G Pro 2, how is the phone like? Especially on battery life... I'm thinking of buying it
The battery life is good enough to last me through a day with mild usage although if I had 100 when I go to sleep, when I wake up 7 hours later, it's only at 90
mine goes to 99% after 12 hours (with custom firmware)
original firmware has also good battery life.
I have the G Pro 2 on AT&T with LTE custom rom
Thanks Josh.
Angel Eyes the series was FILLED with that smartphone so i come here to see how it is in a full review thanks :D
Once Mahdi rom gets there hands on this, battery life won't be so much of a problem.
I'm torn between this and the Xperia Z Ultra.. which one would you recommend? thanks!
I Can't Wait For This Phone!!!
On the front it's very similar to the Nexus 4....
Was excited for this phone not anymore. Waiting on M8, G3, Z2, and Moto X 2
what ever happened to reviewers actually reviewing the actual phone and showing us its software features, even tho we need to know hardware specs it seems they just make videos telling us what we already know or can find out easily
What a awesome piece of hardware's.
When it comes to Egypt or the Netherlands ?
Are you sure about the battery of Lg G pro 2??
you forgot to mention how the phone just spits out of your hand due to the shape of the sides ?
What is best - LG G3 or LG G Pro 2 and why? Thank you!
G3 of course. the reason? look it up, or should i say " google it "
Queen Medoner Thank you!
Виталий Можаровский LG G3 is the best phone 2014.
md ik Thank you!
I think your analysis of the battery is incorrect. I've gone through multiple forums for many phones before I decided to buy this and I've seen similar battery performance on most phones on "pretty high usage", except for may be the Z2 which is easily breakable as you've shown.
So is the battery life of the G Pro 2 good, better than what Joshua said?
Eric Nonis It sure is. I always have data on, pretty active on social networking, music, take lot of photos, frequently peep through the "window" with the LG flip case on. I got 2 days of battery in the initial days and easily over 24 hours and much longer after the battery saver kicks on (at 20% for me).
Ohhh... That's good, so that means I can go through a whole day without problems? I'm considering between this and the One Max, but idk how battery life is like... I think I'm drawn to the G Pro 2 even more now.
bigger screen needs a stylus.. I have a note 2 on the DN3 rom [note3 features] and its going strong. I'll wait for the galaxy note 4.
Hey friend how it fared Relationship them one battery life , I Had That 52 OR 57 hours of use , but the pace of high Display WAS ? and the intense USE OR WAS Almost None ? Thank you !
You are sound like Michael Fisher at Pocketnow.
not at all
No similarities, but Josh and Michael are my favorites!
Nothing like Michael Fisher lol
mine isn't connecting to the Wi-Fi, is it bcoz I have no sim card in it?
when will the g pro 2 be available in the US? and will Verizon be carrying it?
I still prefer the galaxy note 3. Just my thought
Hey Josh what phone do you use day to day on a normal basis?
The displays on LG's phones are the best.
Would the g pro be getting software updates to be like the g pro 2?
I am using LG G pro2 D383. I want to hard rest my phone but following the procedure (volume down+power key) to hard rest on my phone 3 options appears on my phone in korean language i tried all these options nothing happen at all just phone gets start normally. Please help me do do this
Why is the battery life is too short?
When will this phone come out for verizon?
Do you have any ideas when it will be release and is it on sprint?
Would the g pro be getting software updates like the g pro 2?
LG IPS Phone Screens are the best on the market, period!
The Pro 2 is a nice design smart-device, but I prefer the Note 3.
Je veux acheter deux appareils, je suis au congo Brazzaville comment faire?
How much is it unlocked?
when is going to launch for t-mobile i'm a note 3 user and considering switching surprisingly....
are u going to do an unboxing and a review full of the lg g pro 3 if avalible
Is a good thing that ***** put a big removable battery in this one....
Hi can i ask about the wifi speed of this unit Lg g pro 2?
Is it fast? how about the range of wifi connection? because i already have an Lg optimus g pro before. F240l korean version. The wifi connection is so weak and slow. when i'm in my room i can't connect to wifi connection, But my secondary phone nexus S can connect and reach wifi in my room.
Sir can i ask a question? Where did u buy your device?
My LG2 lasts for almost a day and a half. How could this phone barely last a day?
Feb of 2020? Hey where u at?
Why do you guys, pocket now, techno buffalo or other reviewers all hate plastic backs? Shouldn't the software and or function of the phone be the most important? I could really care less what the phone was made out of
You are weird
Bcs they want a premium phone
Aluminium bodied phones feels great in hands while the plastic doesn't
***** Yeah... I'm not a fan of aluminum...
Personally I like the g3 more than one m8
at 5:22
shows 57 hours usage on battery LOL
and he is saying it stays about 7 hours X_X
why didn't they called it lg optimus g prime???
it would be awesome
hello everyone I'm Italian so I could write badly. I wanted to know how fluidity and stability and battery how it behaves compared to a known 3 What do you think of the support of LG? the phone bug? Thanks to all
LG G Pro 2 or the LG G2
is there anything different other than the screen size? because i checked both specs and they're pretty much the same IMO
G pro2 has 3gb ram when G2 has 2gb and G pro2's camera is slightly better than G2 because of OIS function
thanks!
Paul Jung Biggest edge is it suppots LTE
Excellent review!
Can anyone tell me what music is used in the background at around the 1 minute mark?
no stylus which is why i went with note 3 then note 4
the phone look good. It actually better then the S5 but i would rather go for Note 3 :P
Where is the pebble smart watch review
Does it work on US carriers?
is LG G PRO 2 D838 compatible with AT&T 3G ,4G LTE network? any one knows? Thanks.
Josh....like your vids.... but write a script man, lol
"even the colourful default optimus UI shines through this IPS screen THAT DOES ALSO DOES quite well in direct sunlight".....haha
Thank god Zac for the info.
does this have guest mode
i have a LG g pro2 loving it
G Pro 2's battery life is worse because of kik kat... It has that effect on most devices right now. Glad I'm rooted and running a custom ROM on my G2. Get awesome battery life
This LG devices doesn't support WiFi Direct sharing. The other device must be of LG. Using third party apps is just so uncomfortable... Not sure if LG is coming up with a update so as to use WiFi Direct sharing ...
is there any chance the power button gets pressed when the device is laid on it's back?
no
LOL Thank you Sumit Setia
No one has responded in over four months and I ended up buying the LG G3 instead. Even though it's not as big as I want it's actually a really great mobile device.
Jon Nova great decision!
Agree g 3 is better than gpro 2 but the price i got gpro2 for is amazing 330 us dollars 16 gb and my friend bought g3 for 600 usd
lucky!
Is it ok to leave a phone like this on the charger for the whole night? will tat damage the battery?
THX :D
Igor Bajic don't do that
THX for the reply :D
It will severely damage the battery overtime and the device it's self, and eventually it will be completely unusable.
Its a fucking 2.2 GHz on a phone. My laptop is 2.4 lolz shieeeett power it has.
mine is 3.3 ghz
S5 has 2.5ghz lol and we have yet to get confirmed specs of the G3 or Note 4 which may also be 2.5ghz or even faster.
Rage Time good luck on that overclock and battery life.
***** but seriously with Kit Kat requiring less resources having something that is 1.5 GHz is enough again.
JlandelMoncada1 Yeah I'm getting the G2 in 2 days on t-mobile it's amazing I had it on sprint but sprint is garbage. Until spark is released in more cities.
I will stay with my LG G2 and wait for the G3 this phone was a disappoint I'm my opinion
Can't wait for the G3
does it support apps 2 sd option
I'm calling foul on the battery life. I'm a heavy user and even using all day, mine never gets below 30%. Stop watching porn videos all day and your battery will last longer.
Like your videos soooo much :) Good job, as usual :D
