In response to global trends and consumer needs, the LG Optimus G Pro will support Band 3 on 1800 Mega Hertz and Band 7 on 2 600MHz. This is specific to the South African market.
“Whilst the adoption of LTE networks is still quite new to many consumers, we hope that the extraordinary user-experience they obtain with Optimus G Pro will give them a taste of what’s out there,” says Deon Prinsloo, GM for Mobile and LG Electronics.
In addition to having a network that is significantly faster, the adoption of the LTE for the Optimus G Pro allows users to share a variety of content whilst busy on a call.
With this LTE capability, the online gaming experience is enhanced tremendously due to higher and better quality data speeds. Watching HD movies on demand or videos and downloading material from an e-mail is made easier as there is no lag.
