Right now, Asians who want LG’s Optimus G Pro have to make a sneaky trip over to South Korea, but not for much longer. The handset will begin rolling out across the continent through June, starting in Hong Kong and spreading to places like Taiwan, Singapore and Malaysia before the end of that month. Just remember, that unlike the Galaxy Note II, you’ll have to spring for the stylus yourself.

LG Nexus 4 White announced
Posted in: Today's Chili
LG has just announced that they have introduced yet another color variation of the LG Nexus 4 device, where this time around it would ditch the regular dark shades which tend to signify the business market segment. LG’s attempt this time has ended up with the LG Nexus 4 White, which so happens to be the latest edition of the popular smartphone that was specially developed in collaboration with Google. The LG Nexus 4 White would not trump the regular LG Nexus 4 when it comes to hardware specifications, as the only difference would be the added prestige that you carry a white color version of the smartphone.
In a nutshell, the LG Nexus 4 White would boast of a similar stellar Android experience as the original Nexus 4, where it will merge LG’s sophisticated hardware design as well as popular Google Services including Google Now and Photosphere, delivering a top notch and outstanding overall user experience. Dr. Jong-seok Park, president and CEO of LG Mobile Communications Company, said, “Nexus 4 set the standard for Android 4.2 Jelly Bean smartphones. Nexus 4 White delivers the same Google experience to consumers in a stylish and attractive color option.”
Just to refresh our memories, you will not find the LG Nexus 4 end up obsolete so soon, as it will arrive with a superb 4.7-inch True HD IPS Plus display at 320ppi with 1,280 x 768 pixels resolution to deliver eye popping visuals, which has additional support by Zerogap Touch technology. Right at the core of things would be the high performing Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Pro processor alongside 2GB RAM. Folks who are living in Hong Kong will be pleased to hear that from May 29th onwards, the LG Nexus 4 White will roll out globally in select markets in Asia, North America, Europe and the Middle East in the weeks to come. We do not expect pricing details to veer too far off the original Nexus 4 sticker price despite sporting a new color, though.

White Nexus 4 Hands-on and Unboxing
Posted in: Today's ChiliThis week Google and LG have made the unicorn of the Nexus lineup – that being the White Nexus 4 – a reality. Here at SlashGear we’re taking the time to unbox and have a closer look at the device and its brand new Bumper Case as it makes its way to online stores and eventually into the retail space in the USA. And yes, it’s basically the same package: it’s just white.
One of the only big differences between the original Nexus 4 and this white iteration is the makeup of the band around the edge. While the original Black version has a slightly grippy feel to it, this White is a bit more slippery. This might be just the bit you were looking for if you’re all about the shine over the ability to hold on to your phone.
Otherwise this machine works with the same guts as its Black affiliate: 4.7-inch display at 1280 x 768 pixel resolution, IPS LCD technology covered with a pane of Corning Gorilla Glass 2. Dimensions of the device remain 133.9 x 68.7 x 9.1 mm with a weight of 139 grams, and the back works with the same 8 megapixel camera as specified in Google’s own listing of the original Black.
Inside you’ll find the Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Pro quad-core processor, this just a step down from the Snapdragon 600 found in the Samsung GALAXY S 4 and the HTC One. Android 4.2.2 is here on the device right out of the box, while we do expect updates to Google’s mobile OS sooner than later.
Also in the package we’ve gotten is Google’s white iteration of their own Bumper Case. This case acts as a protector between your Nexus 4 and the ground and acts as a bit of a bonus grip that you might not otherwise have with LG’s preference for slippery, slippery plastic. This device will be available from Google soon, and it’s unknown at the moment whether or not T-Mobile – or other carriers in the future, for that matter – will be carrying this color in stores.
BONUS: As you may have already noticed, the videos above have been filmed with Google Glass – or #throughglass, if you prefer. This adds to a collection of features filmed with Google Glass that will be continuing to expand through the future here on SlashGear, another of which was our 2014 Lexus IS Prototype Test Drive earlier this week – stay tuned for more!
