LG Optimus G Pro Pre Order Begins Online At Rs. 38,990; Availability July 2nd Week

Now days, it is common to see tech vendors launching handsets at much higher price and within weeks slashing the price to stay afloat. This is nothing but pure marketing gimmick. LG India announced the arrival of Optimus G Pro on July 4. The official price communicated to media was Rs. 42,500. In a sudden move, online retailer Flipkart has started taking pre-orders of the device at Rs. 38,990.

The listing says that the phone won't arrive until second week of July. Officially LG hasn't slashed the price. It is out of question that Flipkart is charging less to take more preorders. So what's the reality -either LG is planning to slash the price of Optimus G Pro in the coming weeks or for a limited period Flipkart has quoted lower price.
