As we edge closer to the release of LG's next hero smartphone, it appears more and more likely that it will be coming with a display that's nearly edge-to-edge. What this means is, like a "Fat Free" box of crackers, there is a little bit of a bezel around the edges, but it's close enough to say it's simply not there. The device that's being pictured today in relation to LG's next smartphone release is also being tied to the name LG Optimus G2.

AT&T LG Optimus G Pro Review
The LG Optimus G Pro brings a massive upgrade to the LG Optimus G, a device put together so well that Google decided to use it for its most recent hero smartphone, the Nexus 4. The LG Optimus G Pro has been released internationally with essentially the same hardware build as you’re seeing here, AT&T’s additions being largely app-centric.

This week we’ve had the opportunity to take a peek at – and play with – LG’s brand new Wireless Ultra HD Transmission technology – the world’s first! Of course such claims are a always a bit subjective, but from what we’ve experienced here, they’re not kidding around with this technology being mightily impressive.
