Despite all the excitement being nullified before the press event here in NYC, LG has still managed to make its Optimus Pro event exciting for those attending, catering to their needs with food, drink, and of course the technology itself. As noted earlier, the Optimus G Pro is coming out exclusively to AT&T on the 10th of May, for $199 on a 2-year contract.
While I’ve been strolling back and forth through the fro, it only made sense to get hands-on of the Optimus G Pro, which can seen in images below.
Initial impressions are pretty much what I expected: a high-end Android smartphone, quad-core, a 400 pixel-per-inch, 5.5″ 1080p HD screen and all, but very much heavily customised by LG, for better or for worse. What you cannot disagree with is the stellar image quality of the cameras and 4G LTE connection provided by AT&T.
LG Optimus G Pro Hands-On (AT&T)
Color us enamored. The LG OLED TV, model number 55EA9800 is set to launch next month, with shipments starting in June. As for specs, they are completely mind-boggling: a 4.3mm depth resulted in a weight of just 17kg, due to a carbon-fiber reinforced frame, all for 5 million Korean won, or about $13,515 USD. The main selling post of this 55-inch OLED TV is that like an IMAX theater display, it has a curvature that makes the image more immersive (and all that jazz).
Another press event to attend here in New York City for early March, and it’s from LG! This event, dubbed “Share The Genius”, will bring the Optimus G Pro smartphone to American shores, hopefully without being watered-down. It looks like a good chance for LG to freshen up their mobile image, regardless of what the device they’re announcing is like.
Samsung’s offices in Asan, South Korea were recently raided by police who were tipped off to find stolen LG OLED TV technology. Strangely (or maybe not), LG denies having tipped off anyone to conduct the raid, and Samsung is on the defensive: 
Arguably, the LG Nexus 4 is the coolest and hottest Android phone. Of course, that’s against Samsung’s own Galaxy Note II and Galaxy S III smartphones, who are also selling like hotcakes. But, back to the topic: the Nexus 4 is very much coveted on Google’s own Play store, but worry not: T-Mobile has the device in stock.
Talk about cozy. 300 homes in South Korea already have purchased an 84-inch, 4K Ultra HD TV from LG, each with the cost of $20.000. The weird part of the situation is that LG (and mostly everyone else) don’t even have 4K content ready for viewing. Nevertheless, it didn’t stop these people from getting ahead of the game and being early-adopters. It is worth noting however that if there’s an interest, producers will start to upscale their content to 4K (literally 4x the quality of HD) and prices of UHD TVs will start to go down, allowing for the new technology to be the new regular TV.
