It is one of the best phablets launched in the market so far. LG Optimus G Pro with 1.7GHz processor, 13MP camera and 2GB RAM has been launched for Rs 42,500 There is no doubt that competition in the smartphone market is intensifying not just in the world smartphone market. The Indian market too is also becoming much more competitive with the arrival of top handsets in the last few months. Earlier the top handsets used to arrive here months after their launches in the world market. Apple's iPhone used to come at least six months after their arrival in US and European market. The same was true about Korean tech giant Samsung's handsets and about other well known brands be it HTC, BlackBerry, Nokia or HTC handsets. But given the fast expanding smartphone market here in the Indian market, almost all the top smartphone brands try to launch their wares in the Indian market either the same date of their launch or after a few weeks. But companies like Samsung and Nokia try to launch their handsets in the Indian market the same day as they launch it elsewhere else. There is no doubt that this is not because of their love for India or Indian people. With the smartphone market in US and Europe becoming saturated, they need new markets to exploit. The latest arrival in the country is that of LG Optimus G Pro, a 5.5 inch phablet.
