LG is building off on the success it found with the Optimus G. Google chose LG to build its current flagship Nexus 4 smartphone and it didn't look any further than practically having LG build an Optimus G inside a Nexus 4 case. It's definitely a compliment to LG's design and innovation when it comes to building smartphones. However, LG's not one to rest on its laurels and if rumors are to be believed, Optimus G Pro is in the works now.

The Optimus G Pro boasts of more power and features than its predecessor. Reportedly the Optimus G Pro will launch on NTT Docomo in Japan, possibly in May. The device is expected to be running Android 4.1 Jelly Bean, and feature a 5-inch 1080p HD screen, a 1.7GHz quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Pro processor, 4G LTE radio, 2GB of RAM, 32GB of internal storage, 13 megapixel rear camera and 2.4 megapixel front-facing camera.

The smartphone will likely be powered by an impressive 3,000mAh battery. It reportedly will weigh 160 grams and measure 139 x 70 x 10.1mm. LG is expected to offer the Optimus G Pro in two color choices - Indigo Black and Platinum White.

There has been no word of when LG might announce the LG Optimus G Pro but all indications point to an unveiling at Mobile World Congress (MWC) in February. The Optimus G Pro could also be the basis for the rumored Google Nexus 5 smartphone, the successor to the Nexus 4 that has been making the rounds on tech news sites lately. Stay tuned.
