Want a handset that has the same features as the LG G2 but in the Optimus G Pro form factor? If you live in Korea, the new LTE-capable LG Gx might be just the thing for you.

Sporting a full-HD 5.5-inch IPS display, a 13-megapixel camera and powered by a quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 600 processor, the new handset comes across as a supersized LG G2. The handset sports similar software features, such as Knock-On (where you double tap the screen to turn it on) and has similar accessories such as the QuickWindow case.

The specs sheet states that the handset supports the 2.6GHz LTE band, which could mean that it will work in countries such as Singapore and Hong Kong. Perhaps this new handset, like the G Flex, will soon make its way out of Korea and into international markets.
