The LG Optimus G Pro, which released in Korea in March, will soon get a “Value Pack” software upgrade on April 12th. The update will add new and improved UX features, which include Smart Video, Pause & Resume Recording and Dual Camera. Smart Video integrates eye recognition to automatically play or stop video without manual input from the user. Dual Camera simultaneously captures photos using both the front and rear-facing cameras for a picture-in-picture composition. Pause & Resume Recording enables the user to pause and start in record mode for one continuous video file. Clearly, some of these features sound very similar to what Samsung announced for the Galaxy S4. LG was kind enough to show off the enhancements in a demo video, which is posted above.

Smart Video
Recognizes the position of the viewer’s eyes and automatically plays or stops the video without any manual input from the user. When the viewer’s eyes are no longer focused on the smartphone display, the front camera recognizes this and immediately pauses the video. Once the user’s gaze returns to the smartphone, the video resumes playback from the point last viewed.

Dual Camera
Extending the Dual Recording function, LG is introducing Dual Camera through this Value Pack upgrade. The world’s first Dual Camera function simultaneously captures photographs of both the subject and the shooter using both the front and back cameras for a picture-in-picture composition.

Pause & Resume Recording
The Pause & Resume Recording feature allows the user to pause and start in record mode for one continuous video file. Until now, a new video clip would be created when recording restarted, which resulted in multiple video files.

Upgrades for Current Functions
Magic Remote Pad will be added to the existing QRemote function to work specifically with LG Smart TVs. Similar to the touch pads of most notebooks, Magic Remote Pad turns the Optimus G Pro into a remote control for LG Smart TVs. What`s more, Text Keypad, another new addition to QRemote, will make typing on a Smart TV easier than ever before by turning the Optimus G Pro into a convenient input device.
