LG Optimus G Pro
No matter how you spin it, the LG Optimus Pro is coming for Samsung’s jugular with its phablet entry. From the color to the massive design, at first glance you would think it was the Galaxy Note 2. While it has the same size screen of 5.5 inches, it looks to have one of the most brilliant smartphone panels with its 1080P IPS Display. In addition, it tackles 32GB of storage (with expendable memory), 2 GB of DDR RAM, 1.7 GHz quad-core Snapdragon 600 processor, 3140 mAh battery, Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean, and what’s looking to be the new norm of dual cameras in a 13MP rear and 2.1MP front-facing shooter. Dual recording allows you to record from both cameras simultaneously for a PIP experience.
Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0
Now, it’s not the Galaxy S IV as everyone was hoping for. But even though the handset will be unveiled next month in the Big Apple, Samsung’s next-gen tablet looks to be a head-on competitor to the iPad Mini. The Note 8.0 takes the remarkable usability and appeal of the Note 2 with its speedy multitasking, excellent S-Pen response, and shaves off a couple of inches of the Note 10.1 to create this new iteration. New additions are the ability to finally use the S-Pen on the capacitive buttons, AirView third-party support via apps, and an IR Blaster that transforms the tablet into a smart remote.
