![]() It takes a little getting used to, but it makes the buttons easier to access. The G Pro 2 also sports an industry-leading thin bezel – that’s the space between the screen and the edge of the phone. ![]() One is the button placement: LG now puts power and volume buttons on the back of the phone. Having said all that, there are a few things that make the G Pro 2 more comfortable than most phablets. If you prefer a better grip, there are smaller Android models like the 5.2-inch G2 and Motorola’s 4.7-inch Moto X (the most comfortable phone we’ve held). The point is that it’s more difficult to keep hold of a big phone like the 5.9-inch Pro 2. The G Pro 2 isn’t extra durable, but the plastic back does repel falling damage more than a glass or metal back might. Luckily, it only took a few scratches and the battery cover and battery popped out. Like all accidents, it happened both in slow motion and too fast to recount. All it took was the startling sound of a moped racing past. We pulled the phone out of our pocket on the street to access a map, held it with one hand, and halfway through unlocking it with our KnockCode (more on that soon), the phone just slipped out of our hand. The G Pro 2 is still thin and small enough to fit in a guy’s front pocket, but like it’s competitors, it’s on the edge of being too large to use. We’ve only had the G Pro 2 for a week, but we’ve already dropped it on a concrete sidewalk once. If you spend all day worrying that you’re going to drop your phone, don’t buy a phablet because chances are, you will drop it. The phablet category is not for the faint of heart. ![]() After using it on a couple different continents, we think it’s a great option next to the four major phablets on the market today, though we’re not sure we recommend it over LG’s own G Flex. If you’re looking for a good phablet (that’s phone + tablet, a play on words!), you may want to consider LG’s new G Pro 2. Some of you like your phones extra large, and we’re not about to stop you. We aren’t always fans of phablets here at DT, but we’ve long stopped complaining about them. ![]() Big phones are on the rise, and these days, the bigger the screen, the more people want to scoop them up. ![]()
