LG to hold event on Feb. 13, G Pro 2 may be guest of honor

Get out your calendars, smartphone fans, because we may finally have a date on which one of the bigger Android phones of the year will be officially unveiled.

LG has sent out invitations for an event taking place in Korea on Feb. 13. The invitation doesn’t come out and say exactly what the Life’s Good crew has planned, but it does include the tagline “Knock-knock knockin’ on,” which is likely a reference to the KnockOn double-tap to wake feature found on LG hardware such as the G2.

LG recently confirmed that the G Pro 2 would be introduced in February, and so many folks assumed that the company would be making its announcement during Mobile World Congress at the end of the month. However, LG never specified a specific time or place, saying only that the debut would come sometime in February. It’s also worth noting that LG introduced the original Optimus G Pro ahead of MWC 2013, and so a pre-MWC unveiling of the G Pro 2 actually wouldn’t come as much of a surprise.

Does the praise that LG has received for recent flagships like the Optimus G Pro and G2 have you looking forward to the G Pro 2?
