LG tipped to release a souped-up version of the G3

The LG G3 hasn’t even reached this side of the world yet and already there are rumours that the flagship device will get a variant that is carrying a more powerful processor. The South Korean tech company will reportedly swap the Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 processor with a Snapdragon 805 processor and pair it with an Adreno 420 graphics processor. Benefits of this swap will include increasing gaming capabilities and snappier operation as well as added support for 4K video. A new modem will also bring theoretical download speeds of 225Mbps over 802.11ac Wi-Fi. We can’t confirm the veracity of the rumour at the moment so best assume we’ll be getting the flagship in its current state. If we find out anything more, then we will let you know.
