Looking for a way to take on the Samsung Galaxy S4 with its 5 inch screen, fellow Korean manufacturer LG has introduced the LG Optimus GK on Monday morning. This is a shrunk down version of the LG Optimus G Pro that takes the 5.5 inch screen of the latter and makes it a more manageable 5 inches. The rest of the specs remain the same except for the pixel density which rises from 401ppi on the larger screened device to 441ppi on the 5 inch model.
LG has announced the Optimus GK, the company’s latest Android smartphone in the Optimus series. This has a 5-inch (1920×1080 pixels) Full HD IPS display, powered by 1.7 GHz quad-core Qualcomm APQ 8064 processor with Adreno 320 GPU and runs on Android 4.1 (Jelly Bean) similar to the Optimus G Pro (L-04E) that went on sale in Japan earlier this month. It has a 13-megapixel rear camera with LED Flash and a 2.1-megapixel front-facing camera.
The LG Optimus GK features top-of-the line specifications, as it packs-in the goodness of LG Optimus G Pro in a smaller package. The smartphone gets powered by a 1.7GHz quad-core Qulacomm Snapdragon 600 processor paired with 2GB of RAM and Adreno 320 GPU. The LG Optimus GK features a 5-inch IPS display with a Full HD resolution, amounting to a pixel density of 440 pixel per inch.
At the back, the LG Optimus GK gets a 13 megapixel shooter along with an LED flash, which is capable of recording videos in Full HD. The smartphone also gets a 2 megapixel camera at the front to fulfill the user’s video calling needs.
There is 16GB of in-built storage and a micro-SD card slot for storage expansion, while for connectivity, the LG Optimus GK gets 4G LTE and 3G HSPA+ along with the other usual connectivity options.
One area where the LG Optimus GK lags behind the Samsung galaxy S4 is the OS, as it runs on Android 4.1.2, while the Galaxy S4 runs on the latest, Android 4.2.2. However, the Optimus GK trumps the Samsung Galaxy S4 in terms of battery, as it gets a 3,100mAh battery, as opposed to a 2,600mAh battery on the Galaxy S4.
There is no word on the pricing and global availability of the LG Optimus GK at present, but we expect more details to follow soon.
