Qualcomm confirms that LG's G5 will sport the Snapdragon 820 chipset

17 February, 2016
As we are now just a few days away from the G5's unveiling, the chip maker thought it should brag a bit.

Anonym, 18 Feb 2016Given the SD810 never really beat it's predecessors (SD805 ... moreYeah, I can't really argue with that. The 805 is I think, the most complete mobile SoC Qualcomm has put out to date. Whilst the 810 in contrast, is the biggest disappointment of the Snapdragon series yet.

Still, now that Qualcomm are returning to custom architecture, and are moving beyond the somewhat troubled 20nm process, I have high hopes for the 820.

                I wait with interest to see how it will look, this phone, and that will be his final configuration. Already this company, LG, he managed an exceptional marketing for this phone.

                  I think LG has improved a lot, on it's product design.


                  The volume rockers are now at the side of the phone, this is good. It's easier to take a snapshot photo now


                  Furthermore, LG is smart to choose CPU on different flagship phones.


                  Let's hope LG will continue to improve further


                  Hope LG will continue uses memory card, as well as user-replaceable battery.


                  Replaceable battery is good, if the Android OS gets jam, user can remove the battery, place it back & restart the phone

                    I think you know that you cannot placate everyone. Unite prefer 5, other 5.5, other 6, screen size on the phone. So any serious company will produce phone between these dimensions of the screen. Free market, where they sell phones, will dictate what size you will need to have a phone screen, huh?
                    Best regards.

Hmm, how about LG's beloved 3000mah since G3, think they will stick it and also keeping the 5.5 or 5.6" display and no smaller 5" flagship but a downgraded similar to G4 Beat. Only G2 is the best phone LG has made, the rest are garbage.

                          LG company plays (so i can say) future,destiny, through this phone LG5. The stakes are huge for the company. If you have a positive fedback then they will enter the competition for the first 3 places awards among the major manufacturers of mobile giants. If you have negative fedback will go for a long time in a cone of shadow. Personally i wish that this company to have success with their new phone. It's worth it.

                            I don't get why LG gets a lot of hate by trying to differentiate from rest of the bunch. Ticker display, volume buttons on the back, pop out battery. Seems like they will always offend someone.
                            Anyways , I've had LG Nexus 4 for 4 years and I've had nothing but amazing experience with it. Solid build quality, ample community support. I will gladly give my money again to LG.

                                Well done LG. If it is true (4G ram, removable battery, SD card slot, 820 processor ...etc) then you have won a new customer. Looking forward for Sunday

                                  Well I think that this year we will really have a whole variety of flagships to choose from, and really from almost all brands. And this year even more than ever before, the Chinese brands will play the game at almost parallel level with the big usual names like Samsung (S7) LG (G5) HTC (M10) later Sony's (Z6) and so on (good for all of us fans/customers/users). but despite that it is a basic news, and because most of all the flagships will have the Sd 820, but at least we know that the G5 will be one of them, so let's say that in some sort it's a good news. But this year, for a brand to be really the best of all, it will be really tough, so if LG wants to have a chance of being the best? They really have to put everything they have in the G5! So let's wait and see
