LG today unveiled the LG G Pro Lite phablet, billed as an affordable phablet that offers capacitive stylus support. Inspired by the somewhat older LG Optimus G Pro, it may not impress many with its specifications but should find fans among those looking for a cheaper device with stylus support and a large battery.
“With LG G Pro Lite, we are introducing a competitive device to the masses in the growing large smartphone market,” said Dr. Jong-seok Park, president and CEO of LG Electronics Mobile Communications Company. “The market for smartphones with displays over five inches will continue to grow and LG is in a great position to capture these new customers when they’re ready to move up from their current phones.”
