Unveiling its Optimus G Pro smartphone for the South Korean markets on Monday, LG Electronics said that the handset will be available from three leading mobile providers on Wednesday.

One of the key attractions of the LG Optimus G Pro smartphone will be its full high-definition (HD) screen that offers images which are two times bright and clear as the earlier Optimus G models. The handset will be the second full HD handset in South Korea; the first one being Pantech's Vega No. 6 which was launched early this month.

Along with the 5.5-inch LCD screen, which is packed with over 2 million pixels, the other attractive features of the Optimus G Pro include a 1.7-GHz quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 600 processor; a 13-megapixel rear camera; a 2.1-megapixel front camera; 2GB of RAM; and 32GB of built-in storage capacity.

The Optimus G Pro will run the Android 4.1.2 `Jelly Bean' version; and will boast a 3,140 mAh battery that will be capable of giving "hours" of full HD video viewing.

Noting that the Optimus G Pro has specifically been developed "to deliver vivid and superb picture quality in a large display smartphone form factor," Dr. Jong-seok Park - president and CEO of LG Electronics Mobile Communications Company - said in a statement: "We will continue to expand our position in the premium LTE smartphone segment with our superior display technology and unique user experience."
