Upcoming LG Optimus G - Similar to BB10 Device?
- I was looking over at the MobileSyrup website and noticed the article about LG launching their Flagship Device. The device reminded me of what we are hearing the BB10 touchscreen phone will have at launch. The Snapdragon S4 Processor, 1280x768, 1.5GHz Quad-Core.
This is similar to the BB10 specs we have heard, as we are believe that RIM will be using the Snapdragon S4 Pro Processor with the same screen resolution. So will this possibly take away from the powerhouse phone we are expecting to see by RIM if LG releases their phone first? Will RIM lose out on the amazing processor they are rumoured to be using?
LG says their upcoming quad-core LTE smartphone will be blazing fast, thin, have a long battery life, 1280x768 display | MobileSyrup.com08-26-12 11:25 PMLike 0 - I wouldn't worry too much about it, truth is, that for the most part, specs are pretty much within the same ballpark on most devices in the same class.
It's about user experience and OS as well.Knightcrawler likes this.08-26-12 11:27 PMLike 1 -
1 thing RIM has going is that LG is a 4.7 inch screen with i believe it said 330ppi...BB10 device will be 4.2 inches making the ppi on the phone I believe around 360? pretty damn impressive screen!!08-26-12 11:33 PMLike 0 - The LG being a Quad Core means it is the Qualcomm S4 Pro (APQ8064) or the S4 Prime (MPQ 8064) neither of which have onboard modems so they'll need another chip to support the LTE, meaning much greater power drain.
I'm sure the LG will be a spec darling, but it will need to boast a significantly larger battery to compete with the BB10 L series device at launch
And the question will be posed, which is better for the smartphone, better battery or more processor cores, I would wager the former as software and usage doesn't lend itself to quad core requirements.08-27-12 12:54 AMLike 0 - I don't think it matters too much lots of consumers are late upgrading because of their contracts (if they upgrade at all)
Now I'm wondering the difference between the 4G PlayBook and a PlayBook with the S4. Curious how that would go down.08-27-12 04:52 AMLike 0
