LG just released his latest accessory for him Optimus G Pro: different colored covers and magnetic cover that use the phablet screen as a front flap. In addition, the rear part is a casing that replaces that of the equipment so as not to increase the thickness of the set. The only problem, to which different pages have referred, is that these covers are too similar to the typical ones Flip Cover de Samsung, even its range of colors is similar.
The last presentation of LG some means have served him, such as Android Authority, to make fun of the Korean brand, and it is that if the design of the Optimus G Pro It was frankly similar to the Galaxy Note 2 or to the S III, its image combined with that of the new covers that the firm has just presented seems totally a replica of the aesthetic Samsung. These are the QuickCover, protectors with a magnetic front cover and housing that work just like the Flip Cover. The accessory can be purchased in white, black, light blue, lime, orange, pink and purple, which, except for the latter, are exactly the same colors offered Samsung.
The price of these covers will be set around 35 or 40 dollars, that is, between 26 and 40 euros, something that is not excessive if we consider that it also serves as a replacement for the back of the device. Secondly, LG ensures that the accessory does not interfere with the use of the wireless connection or the NFC.
Anyway, as you can see, quite possibly the Android Authority editors are right and the designs of Samsung y LG look too alike in this case. At LG Optimus Pro, although the front was quite similar to its competitor, the rear at least integrated some interesting detail such as its glass construction or drawing with squares that became popular in the Nexus 4.
Interestingly, both brands, LG y Samsung, were embroiled in a patent dispute over technology OLED, and even the first came to demand the withdrawal of the Galaxy Note 10.1 in November of last year, because they believed that it violated three concepts of their own about the viewing angle of the screen. In the end, in February of this year, the two companies reached an amicable agreement to end the dispute.
