"  Cost: $200 with two-year contract Carrier: AT&amp;amp;amp;T If you&amp;#039;ve somehow convinced yourself that 5.5 inches is the proper size for a smartphone screen, then until now you&amp;#039;ve had one main option: Samsung&amp;#039;s Galaxy Note II. The LG Optimus G Pro is not only another option. In many ways, it&amp;#039;s a better one.  Although it still pales in comparison to the OLED screen on the Samsung Galaxy S4, the Optimus G Pro&amp;#039;s huge screen, at 400 ppi, outdoes the Note II considerably and is impressively crisp. Also, thanks to some clever software, it&amp;#039;s not terribly awkward to use. For instance, you can shift the keyboard left or right to make one-handed typing possible. And by holding a finger on the screen, a drawer sorted into apps, downloads, widgets, and wallpapers pops up towards the bottom of the screen. Like most phone makers, LG puts its own spin on Android Jelly Bean. There&amp;#039;s a weird transition effect between home screens that makes the apps look like they&amp;#039;re swinging on a flagpole. There&amp;#039;s also a tweaked settings pull-down that completely hides notifications. On the plus side, there&amp;#039;s multitasking: QSlide allows you to keep certain apps on top of the main app you have open. If you keep the opacity of their resizable windows turned up completely, the apps become active, and when you don&amp;#039;t want them, you can fade them into the background. That&amp;#039;s particularly helpful if you want to take notes on something you&amp;#039;re reading without leaving the text itself. It&amp;#039;s a nice touch but severely limited\u2014right now it supports only the calculator, notepad, calendar, and videos. The phone packs in a 13 MP rear camera and a 2.1 MP front-racing one. Both have full HD capabilities. Both are decent, snapping crisp pictures, but tend towards the cold, blue end of the spectrum. If you can live with that and some software oddities, the Optimus G Pro just might be the winner of the giant-phone battle\u2014at least for now. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
