Cool facts about the LG G2's Snapdragon 800 chipset

So, you may have heard already that the LG G2 will be among the first smartphones to feature Qualcomm's cutting-edge Snapdragon 800 chipset, and some of you are probably wondering - what makes this chip special, and is it going to make currently popular SoCs like the Snapdragon 600, S4 Pro or Tegra 3 feel outdated?

Well, as powerful as the Snapdragon 800 is, it won't be fantastic enough to blow those other CPUs our of the water, that's for sure. However, it does seem to bring a number of cool improvements and sort of trump anything else on the market right now. With support for higher-clocked CPUs, a better GPU in the Adreno 330, as well as many other geeky goodies, the Snapdragon 800 in the LG G2 is ready to set all the benchmarks on fire. It's definitely a future-proof chipset, and if you'd like to learn more about it, just browse through the gallery below!
