Large phones don't need to have "Note" in the name -- just ask the Optimus G Pro
Samsung's Galaxy Note II may dominate the "phablet" market, but that doesn't mean it's the only option if you want a giant smartphone. LG's Optimus G Pro 5.5 boasts a super-sharp 1080p display, a 13-megapixel camera, and great battery life. While it lacks the Note II's stylus, it's still a solid choice if you can find room for it in your pocket or bag.
