Upgraded Galaxy S5 and LG G3 models with Snapdragon 805 CPU launching soon, claims Korean media
The issue here is that Snapdragon 801, as currently found in the two flagship, has an LTE modem that maxes out at 150Mbps LTE-Advanced speeds. Snapdragon 805, on the other hand, besides being faster, and with more features, also sports a Cat 6 LTE modem, capable to hit 300 Mbps theoretical speeds, so the upgraded S5 and G3 are needed to take full advantage of the new network speeds rolling throughout Korea.
Now, whether these two new flagships will see the light of day outside of Korea's ultrafast LTE networks, remains to be seen, though if the past is any indication, they just might, at least in some form. For now, LG's official comment is cited to be: "details of the new model such as timing of launch and price are not yet fixed and the firm will concentrate on the existing G3 for the moment." Imagine how pissed would the current S5 and G3 owners be if Samsung and LG outed a better version of their handsets just a month or two after launch, yet we are sure that the marketing departments in the two electronics giants will figure it out, so we'd say bring them on.
