A week after specs for LG's Optimus G Pro smartphone leaked online, the company has gone ahead and made the device official in its homeland. The Korean version of the Optimus G Pro sports a 5.5-inch full-HD display is expected to be available in later this month. But LG hasn't mentioned whether or not it will trickle down to other regions beyond South Korea.

Though detailed specs of the smartphone weren't revealed by the company in its press documentation, we'd expect the device to carry most of the earlier leaked specs. These include a 1.7GHz quad-core Snapdragon with 2GB RAM, a 13-megaxiel rear camera and a 2-megapixel front-facing one, 32GB of internal storage expandable up to 64GB via microSD, 3,140 mAh battery and LTE support as well.

That said, the device isn't a remake of the Japanese Optimus G Pro that LG recently announced in the country in collaboration with NTT DoCoMo. It brings to the fore certain design improvements that give it a better aesthetic appeal.

Apart from a 5.5-inch display versus Japan's 5-inch one, the device features the typical LG glitter pattern on the back panel offering a "Digital Cube" effect, which is quite reminiscent of the Nexus 4. It sports a curved glass display that the company claims to give it a "2.5D" effect. The handset will be available in black and white colours and will pack a rather slim bezel.
