LG will reportedly unveil a new flagship smartphone at MWC 2014 that will sport premium features, Korean publication etnews says. The LG G Pro 2 is rumored to pack a 6-inch display with Full HD (1920 x 1080) resolution, a Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 processor, 3GB of RAM, LTE-Advanced support and Android 4.4 KitKat out of the box. A previous report from the publication hinted that LG may launch two Android devices with fingerprint scanners, including the LG G3 and possibly the LG G Pro 2. The first G Pro model – launched as the Optimus G Pro at the time – was unveiled last February at the same show in Barcelona, Spain.

The publication further revealed that more Android smartphones are expected to include 3GB of RAM, a trend started by Samsung’s Galaxy Note 3 last year, including Sony’s and HTC’s future flagship handsets. Samsung has already announced more devices that pack 3GB of RAM including the Galaxy NotePro 12.2 and the Galaxy TabPro 12.2, with the Galaxy S5 also expected to have similar memory.
