South Korean mobile phone maker LG Electronics appears to be gearing up for the launch of a new high-end smartphone on the market in the United States, and might release it on shelves at AT&T, a recent FCC filing shows.

A certain E980 smartphone from LG has received the necessary approvals for use in the United States, one that might be none other than the Optimus G Pro, since the model numbers match.

The phone received certification with 4G LTE connectivity packed inside, and should arrive on the market on AT&T’s network, a recent post on Engadget reads.

If so, it means that this wireless carrier’s customers will soon be able to take full advantage of a 5.5-inch (1080p) smartphone that packs a quad-core processor inside, 2GB of RAM, a 13-megapixel photo snapper on the back, and Google’s Android 4.1 Jelly Bean platform loaded on top.
