LG selects high end Qualcomm chip for next flagship smartphone
Friday, June 21, 2013 - 14:04:17
LG is getting ready to expand its G Series of mobiles with a new high end device and this week it was confirmed that the phone will sport a Snapdragon 800 processor from Qualcomm.
This has been rumoured for some time and is noteworthy because the Snapdragon 800 is one of the most powerful mobile chips to hit the market in 2013.
LG has not officially confirmed the rest of the specifications for the new G Series device, but most of these have been revealed in leaks.
It is likely to feature a five inch 1080p display, 32GB of built in storage space, a 13 megapixel camera and a whopping 3000mAh battery, to keep everything running for a full 24 hours.
The Snapdragon 800 could be clocked at 2.3GHz and will feature four physical cores, as well as being able to support 4G networking.
As well as being more powerful, the chip is able to deliver improved energy efficiency, which should make it less of a burden on the battery. This is good news because of course the five inch display will be sapping quite a bit of juice itself.
An additional asset of this processor technology is that it makes it possible for a smartphone to record video at 4K resolutions, otherwise known as Ultra HD. This offers twice the detail of 1080p and with a number of 4K TVs coming to market in 2013, it will be an increasingly relevant feature for smartphones to possess.
LG's next-generation smartphone should be officially announced in the next few months and there are high hopes that it will be a quality device. LG's Nexus 4 made waves in 2012 and it could repeat this trick in 2013, if it gets the balance of specs and price right.
