LG G2 is one of the first to come out with power lock and volume rocker at the back of the phone and it comes with extremely small bezels. Optimus G Pro has very solid build quality with a metal rim running across the device. The G2 is made of plastic and feels considerably lighter than the G Pro.G2 has no on screen buttons and navigation is restricted to on-screen keys which occupies valuable screen real estate. On the G Pro, we have traditional physical home button flanked by capacitive touch keys on both the side.
G2 is powered by a quad-core Snapdragon 800 SoC clocked at 2.2GHz and Adreno 330 while the G Pro is powered by quad-core Snapdragon 600 SoC clocked at 1.7GHz and Adreno 320. Both the phones have 2GB RAM and have 16/32GB variants. G2 does not have a microSD card slot while the G Pro has a microSD card slot. There is a 13MP camera at the back and 2MP camera at the front on both the devices and both the phones can record 1080p videos with stereo sound from both the cameras. The 13MP camera on the G2 comes with OIS and it ensures blur free photos. G2 has a non-removable Li-Po 3000mAh battery while the G Pro has 3140mAh user accessible Li-Ion battery.
