LG G6 Won’t Be Featuring Snapdragon 835 Because of Samsung

LG’s upcoming flagship G6 won’t be featuring Qualcomm’s latest Snapdragon 835 chipset due to the fact that Samsung bought out all the chips that there won’t be any left for the other companies, according to a recent report.

Ben Sin, a consumer tech writer for Forbes, recently criticized HTC for featuring Snapdragon 821 instead of the more powerful Snapdragon 835 in the year of 2017. But after digging deeper into that, he realized there’s a good reason for that.

“I’ve spoken to some industry insiders in Asia today and I must apologize to HTC, because it would appear that the 835 is out of their reach until after April, so they couldn’t have used the 835 without drastically delaying the phone,” Sin writes.

“In fact, that’s the case with almost all phones, including LG’s flagship. Yup, I have confirmed with an industry insider that the LG G6 will run on Snapdragon 821 instead of the 835 that everyone’s expecting.”

The reason why the G6 will be missing out on the Snapdragon 835 is that Samsung has first dibs on it because it’s basically the biggest customer for Qualcomm and the order from the Korean Company is so big that there won’t be enough for other vendors.

Big companies like LG, Sony and HTC won’t be able to have access to the Snapdragon 835 until after the official debut of the Galaxy S8 in the coming months.

This won’t be much of an issue for LG’s fans actually as LG’s done things like this before. The LG chose the Snapdragon 808 instead of the 810, but that’s mainly because of the concern of overheating rather than stock out.

From the latest leak we can see that the G6 would be featuring a USB-C port, headphone jack, a dual-camera arrangement and a rear-facing fingerprint sensor. And noticeably the device’s 5.7-inch display features virtually no bezel. All in all, the G6 is still a flagship worth expecting.

LG’s Flagship G6 Set to be Launched on Feb, 26

LG has sent out invites for an event set on February 26. The invite came with hints that there would be a device that features a display with a wider viewing area. LG confirmed before that it’s going to introduce a device with a QHD+ display and an 18:9 aspect ratio.

The device would be featuring a 5.7-inch display with a sharper resolution of 2880*1440, which makes for 564 pixels-per-inch.

“QHD+ is expected to maximize users’ experience and value by providing ultra-high definition, differentiating it from all other mobile display panels,” said Kim Byeong-koo, senior vice president and head of the mobile development at LG Display.

The standard QHD resolution is 2560*1440, but the display on G6 would be featuring the resolution of 2880*1440 and LG’s own in-TOUCH technology for greater touch performance, eliminating the need for cover glass and reducing the thickness of the G6’s LCD panel. LG has also been able to reduce the display’s bezel to just 0.2mm.”

There is no doubt that the display would be one of the shining points of the LG G6, and it’s no surprise because LG has been making top-of-the-class displays and the screen on LG’s flagship devices would never disappoint you. And it seems we could hope for LG’s bezel magic this year.

“Users will also be able to better view the display under sunlight as transmittance has increased 10 percent, while the display consumes about 30 percent less power than its predecessors,” reports The Korea Herald.

The event would take place on February 26 in Barcelona at 12 p.m. local time, which means the LG G6 is just about a month away from us. Are you expecting the LG G6?
