When AT&T originally announced it would be carrying the LG Optimus G Pro the carrier mentioned that it was an exclusive dealio. Exclusive doesn’t really mean exclusive anymore, of course — it’s more like a timed exclusive. Akin to what happened with Verizon getting the Galaxy Nexus months ahead of everyone else, it looks like Sprint might eventually be carrying the LG Optimus G Pro.
That information surfaced in a user agent profile that has appeared on Sprint’s site. It wouldn’t be the first time a carrier or OEM’s site accidentally spilled the beans about devices which don’t officially exist yet. This particular handset is showing a Sprint model number of LS980 (AT&T’s is E980) but some weird discrepancies exist. The biggest difference this UA profile mentions is a Snapdragon 800 processor. The LG Optimus G Pro is only known to have a Snapdragon 600 chipset.
Either Sprint’s getting themselves an extra special “sorry for going to AT&T first” consolation prize from LG, or this isn’t quite an Optimus G Pro. Either way, we know Sprint users will be more than excited to hear the news. The only questions now are when and how much, but if it’s an Optimus G Pro we imagine AT&T will have at least a month or two of personal time with it before others can take a swing.

Or a simple typo on the processor, wouldn’t be the first time and won’t be the last.
These “accidental leaks” are by no means an accident & never are.Otherwise,steps would be taken to prevent such “leaks”.
The “leaks” are released to gauge public interest & generate a bit of free press for both the manufacturer & the carrier.
I read on other sites that this might be the Optimus G2 popping up on Sprint. I’ll take either one though or the nexus 5.

Snapdragon 800 hell yes! I’m stuck between choosing the HTC one and the s4 but if a device with a Snapdragon 800 processor comes out I’ll opt for it. I need a device that is future proof for gaming. I know that the One and the S4 have powerful GPUs for right now but the 800 would be able to handle better graphics.
Definitely would be the king-of-the-hill w/the SD 800 processor,provided that the 32GB on-board storage is sufficient.Again,SPRINT’s variant looks to be lacking expandable storage,going by the information/link provided.
S 800 is or will be King of the Mountain. That will be one bad ass beast. I want one, maybe two.
RELEASE THE KRAKEN!!
Yeah baby! Please have the 5.5″ screen! If it’s the Pro, I’m sure it’s just a typo in the 600, but that’s ok. I don’t want to wait till this fall. :)
I wonder how long before people starting yawning about all these new models…
Not that many models if you can’t actually get them on a carrier that matters to you..
