SEOUL: As LG is all set to debut in flagship smartphone LG G4 on April 28, now new report recons that the device has a Snapdragon 808 processor.
A new image that allegedly shows the LG G4 being powered by a Snapdragon 808 is making the rounds online today.
The photo shows an Android smartphone running CPU-Z, an Android app that gathers system information, but it is not cleared that the device is indeed the LG G4, so make sure to retain a dose of skepticism regarding the validity of this leak.
One aspect of the upcoming LG G4 that’s currently not in the clear is the chipset of choice. According to an earlier leak, the LG G4 will be based on the Qualcomm Snapdragon 808 chip, the toned down version of the Snapdragon 810, and today’s leak seems to reinforce this notion, The News Tribe reported.
The Snapdragon 810 makes use of four high-end ARM Cortex-A57 CPU cores paired with four power-efficient ARM Cortex-A53 CPU cores.
The Snapdragon 808, on the other hand, comes with just two Cortex-A57 cores while retaining all four Cortex-A53 cores. Furthermore, the Snapdragon 810 also comes with an Adreno 420 GPU, while the Snapdragon 808 comes with a less-powerful Adreno 418 CPU.
One interesting detail to note from the recently-leaked photo is that CPU-Z lists Krait 450 as the CPU architecture, which is obviously incorrect. The last SoC to use Qualcomm’s custom Krait CPU cores was the Snapdragon 805.
So nothing is clear yet, we have to wait till April 28 to find out what is inside the company’s upcoming smartphone.
