New LG and Pantech smart phones rival more expensive models

LG and Pantech, two companies that barely made a blip in the smart-phone world until recently, are churning out noteworthy models that earn high scores in Consumer Reports Ratings. Two of their most recent entries, the LG Optimus G Pro and Pantech Perception, have ultra-sharp displays, clever document-editing options, and intriguing features found on higher-priced rivals. Here are the details:

The LG Optimus G Pro (a $200 exclusive from AT&T) is essentially a supersized version of the Optimus G. The G Pro packs an excellent-quality 5.5-inch, high-definition (1080p), touch-screen display in a relatively thin case. The phone's giant screen invites comparisons to the popular—and pricier—Samsung Galaxy Note II. While it lacks the Note II's stylus and floating-preview options, it compensates with capabilities such as Quick Memo, a pull-down menu option app that lets you use your finger to scribble notes on anything you see on the screen. The finished "memo" becomes a picture that you can e-mail, text, or share on social networks.
