Aaron goes in depth with the LG Optimus G Pro, a contender in the phablet department and a prime competitor against the Samsung Galaxy Note II.  Featuring a 1.7 GHz quad-core Snapdragon 600 CPU, 5.5-inch 1080p HD display, 13-megapixel camera with 1080p HD recording, 2 GB of RAM, a 3,140 mAh battery, and Android 4.1 Jelly Bean with LG's UI.  It's coming very soon to AT&T with 4G LTE connectivity.  Is it worth considering over the Galaxy Note II due to the higher specs, or do the software features of the Note II outweigh the potential speed gains?  Part 1 of 2.
