Leaked slide shows impressive specifications

A slide has leaked that shows the LG Optimus G Pro smartphone, the follow-up to the Optimus G. The Optimus G Pro’s headliner feature is a new five-inch display with a resolution of 1920 x 1080.

A 1.7 GHz processor said to be the Snapdragon S4 Pro APQ8064 powers the device. The smartphone is also said to feature 2 GB of RAM, 32 GB of storage, LTE connectivity, 13MP rear camera, and a 3000 mAh battery. Other specifications that have leaked around the web claim that the smartphone will run Android Jelly Bean for the operating system and weigh in at about 160 g.

The phone features both One-Seg and NOTTV functionality that only works in Japan. We’ll no doubt see the Optimus G Pro on our shores sometimes this year, although without the TV functionality.

Your S3 has a significantly smaller battery though. Increase the battery volume by 40% and something has to give.

Ah, but if I can swap batteries, I don't need a huge battery ;)

I get your point though. I am sure a quad A15-based SoC is going to be very power hungry and a 3000mah battery is a must.

Sorry - my bad. Quad Krait not Quad Cortex A15.

One thing I did notice is the Snapdragon Kraits are somewhat harder on batteries.

My SGS3 (US) has a dual krait as opposed to my SGS3 (Intl) that has a quad Exynos (Cortex A9). The US version is about 20% harder on batteries than the quad core.

So initial estimate shows the phone has 18% more volume and 40% more battery.

As you mentioned later, it's 18% larger, i.e. has 15 extra cubic centimeters. By comparison, that's 60% of the volume of my Note II's 3100 mAh battery, and a MicroSD card takes only 0.17 cu cm (maybe double it for total slot volume).

The price for removable batteries isn't phone size. It just makes it harder to give it top notch build quality. You can't have any of these nice glass, machined aluminum, or unibody polycarbonate cases with removable batteries.

I think Samsung has done a really good job in giving their phones a solid feed despite needing a snap-on back cover. Personally, I'll choose the functionality of microSD & removable battery over the touchy-feely of unibody anyday.
