LG claimed G Pro 2 offers an industry-leading screen-to-frame ratio of 77.2 percent. In the past, LG has brought some beautifully small bezels like LG G2, which allows big displays on smartphones that fit comfortably in the hand.

LG G2's KnockON feature is taken a notch higher with LG G Pro 2's Knock Code that allows additional security feature. Basically, users need to knock on the phone with various patterns, which is actually faster than waking up the device and entering a password.
