It's official: AT&T's new LG Optimus G Pro (pictures)

Optimus G Pro lands in America

At a press event in New York we got a chance to spend some hands-on time with the new LG Optimus G Pro for AT&T. The 5.5-inch, quad-core superphone feels just as quick, nimble, and powerful as the international model. The device will be available May 10 for $199.99 with a two-year contract. Preorders start May 3.

Dat screen tho!

The most noticeable thing about the G Pro is that 5.5-inch full-HD IPS screen. It has a 1,920x1,080-pixel resolution and 400ppi. It sports a 16:9 aspect ratio, and the display edges contour down toward the bezel. Indeed when we viewed the screen in person we definitely found it to be bright, colorful, and very big. It's an eye-catching number for sure.

A look up top

Up top is a 3.5mm headphone jack. We also like the faux metallic stripe that rings the Optimus G Pro. And though the handset is large, its extreme thinness really helps the device avoid feeling unwieldy.

Meet the drop-resistant Moto Z2 Force

The Moto Z2 Force is really thin, with a fast processor and great battery life. It can survive drops without shattering.
