LG Liger (F490L) photographed, benchmarked extensively

The LG Liger (F490L) made a bold appearance before its official announcement – complete with specs, hands-on photos and even benchmarks and chipset info. The phone will join the LG G3 family with similar looks but a bigger display (5.9") and LG's own Odin chipset.

The chipset features four Cortex-A15 cores and four Cortex-A7. Initially we saw it clocked at 1GHz, now CPU-Z shows 1.2GHz as the top speed for the A15s. The app may have detected the A7 clock though, the A15 cores are allegedly clocked at 1.5GHz.

As a consequence the AnTuTu 5 score is not particularly impressive, even against the Snapdragon 801-packing LG G3. Considering the 5.9" IPS screen has been dropped to 1080p resolution, the LG Liger may be more of a mid-ranger rather than a flagship phablet.

Benchmarks

Other specs include 2GB of RAM, 16/32GB of storage, 13MP camera (no word on OIS but laser focus is on board) and a 3,000mAh battery. It measures 157.8 x 81.8 x 9.5mm.
