I was so looking forward to the G5 for months, but with that non-sense of bringing a lite version to Latin America, even if the specs weren't that different (which they are, the processor difference is really big), and even with a big price drop (which I'm sure won't be the case, given the examples in past similar tricks like this one) it's a deal breaker for me, just out of principle. Why should I have to settle for a downgraded version while paying pretty much the same price as the rest of the world? Why should I have to import it and pay extra for shipping? The currency sure is an issue, but Apple and Samsung bring the real deal here anyways, the result? everybody buys from them. So yeah, middle finger to LG this time around then. Samsung or Motorola then. A shame.

AnonD-246723, 28 Feb 2016So the shirt is made by the brand at china simple as that .... moreSuperdry is an UK brand designed in Uk but made in China. Get the point? Please tell me if you do, cause you obviously don't know what is going on to the world. Keep hiding in your cave.

Anonymous, 29 Feb 2016It makes no business sense for LG to offer the 820 version ... moreIt's just an excuse, LG will bring this castrated LG G5 and probably the price will be close to the Galaxy S7... and most people will ignore this "little" detail since most normal users don't care about the SoC and LG will have a nice profit by offering this G5 "lite" for the price of the flagship phone.

Anonymous, 29 Feb 2016Your statement is quite inaccurate. Meizu Pro 5 use exynos ... moreyes, I know, probably found a solution or whatever reason it is. In Some other Chinese smartpones Samsung gives only lower tier/modified exynos version, not the one Samsung is using. So yeah.

It makes no business sense for LG to offer the 820 version in South America. I can't blame them. There are so many import and tariff rules about what percentage of items have to be made within the specific country, etc that it would be too much pain for too little gain. Also, the currencies are not stable enough to keep up with the pricing. I don't blame LG at all. And no, I'm not an LG fan- I don't even have one.

Especially the emulators like DosBox, PPSSPP, PS1 emulators, they require good single core performance.
