South Korean tech giant LG Electronics Inc. said Thursday it plans to roll out the Optimus G Pro, the latest version of the Optimus G smartphone line-up, in the U.S. next week.

U.S. customers can preorder the smartphone on AT&T’s Web site starting Friday, and can purchase the device at local retail stores from May 10, it said.

In February, the South Korean smartphone maker launched its 5.5-inch Optimus G Pro in its home country, joining the race of smartphones with bigger and brighter displays.

In March, LG, the world’s third-largest smartphone maker, also released the full HD smartphone via Japan’s largest mobile operator NTT DoCoMo. (Yonhap News)
