Earlier this year in February LG launched two new devices in the G Pro lineup. A year back in February, two devices were added to the lineup as well. So one could be forgiven for expecting that perhaps LG might do the same this coming February, which is merely two months away. It doesn’t seem like that’s going to happen, if a new report is to be believed, the LG G Pro lineup is not going to receive any new handsets.

Reports out of South Korea suggest that LG has decided to axe this phablet family and instead devote its time and resources towards the next flagship, which will presumably be called the LG G4.

One of the reasons why LG may have taken this step is because the existing LG G3 handset, with its 5.5-inch display, is almost as large as the 5.9-inch LG G Pro 2. Customers who prefer display size alone are likely to go towards the G3 because of its superior specifications and features.

Is this why LG is giving up on the G Pro lineup, to avoid cannibalization at the hands of its flagship? For all we know there might be a different reason. It was rumored that the LG G Pro 3 would be powered by the company’s own NUCLUN chipset but we’ve been hearing that its faulty and has a lot of issues, so that may be why there won’t be any addition to the LG G Pro lineup in the coming year.

Who knows, LG hasn’t commented on this report as yet.
