A newer and beefier version of LG's Optimus G could be coming to town, at least to someone's town.
A leaked slide sent to blog site Engadget teased a host of details about the Optimus G Pro. If the slide is on the money, the new smartphone would sport a 5-inch 1,920 x 1,080 pixel display and tap into a 1.7Ghz Qualcomm quad-core Snapdragon processor for its power.

Android 4.1 Jelly Bean, the Pro model would include 2GB of memory, 32GB of storage, and support for LTE. Also along for the ride will be a 2.4-megapixel camera in front and a 13-MP camera on the rear.
Many of those specs would be improvements over those found in the Optimus G, though certain variants of the current model already include some of those features.
Details revealed by Web site Blog of Mobile match up with virtually all of those revealed by Engadget.
The information doesn't indicate when or where the new phone will debut. But certain built-in features signal that it'll be offered by Japanese carrier NTTDoCoMo, according to Engadget. The current Optimus G is sold in Japan, South Korea, Canada, and the United States.
A recent batch of rumors also suggests that LG will release an Optimus G2 phone later this year.
CNET contacted LG for comment and will update the story if the company responds.
Meanwhile, the current Optimus G is doing quite well all by itself. LG revealed today that it has sold more than 1 million units since the phone debuted four months ago, reports the Yonhap News Agency.
LG also plans to launch the Optimus G in China and several European countries this quarter, a company spokesman told Yonhap.
