G Pro 2 coming on February 13 as LG schedules an event

The South Korean manufacturers upcoming announcement and their next generation phablet, the G Pro 2 has been in talks for a while, and as today the company sends out invitations for the Press media for their event, pre-Mobile World Congress. The Koreans have scheduled a conference in their homeland, West Tower Auditorium, Seoul on 13th of February, 2014, from timings between 10:30 AM to 1:00 PM, local.

Last month, weve got the firms confirmations on their upcoming phablet flagship handset and the successor model to their current G Pro, which was hinted coming this month, and we guessed it to be a MWC shows topper from LG. Following the news, we also saw the device in a couple of allegedly leaked photographs. But as today, the company have its Press invites live, we really doubt to witness the LG made G Pro 2 come to the show, as they dont have any other major phones in their pipeline.

So, the basic reports and rumors suggest us a Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 processor with a six-inches Full High Definition screen of 1080p resolution display, 3 gigabytes of Random Access Memory and packing Androids version 4.4 KitKat out of its box.
