Upgraded LG G3 (with Snapdragon 805 chipset) allegedly approved by Korean authorities

It's still worse than a 1080p/Adreno 330 set up. 1440p has about 70% more pixels than 1080p, but the Adreno 420 only has 40% more performance over the Adreno 330. It'll still have good frame rates of course, but I don't like going backwards in theoretical performance.

Don't worry Android 5.0 will fix this..
Believe in Google ;)

Remember it's all dependant on the clock rate of the GPU. The 801 may share the ADRENO 330 with the 800, but the 801 variant has been clocked at a higher rate (578 MHZ) vs the 550/450MHZ clock rates from the two SD800 CPU variants.

IMO they should stick with 1080p and improve the screens to 120 Hz and reduce touch latency

26. Berzerk000 (Posts: 4275; Member since: 26 Jun 2011)

It would be nice if manufacturers pushed refresh rates higher and Google raised the FPS cap to 90-120. Google did their best to make Android a constant 60 FPS with Jelly Bean, but we have the hardware to go higher now.

I'm pretty sure the HTC One M8 has the lowest touch latency on a smartphone. More manufacturers need to follow them.

actually m8 touch latency is about 46 ms and g3 latency is 50 ms. So it is not that big a deal. Z2 and S5 has 100 ms for latency...
All I want is for LG to release international version with S805 and ASAP.... And a bit improved display With good black levels

28. Berzerk000 (Posts: 4275; Member since: 26 Jun 2011)

But when the M8 first released it was a big deal, considering most phones have 70-100+. The iPhone 5S and Nexus 5 have 75 ms, the GS5 has 91 ms, and the LG G2 has 110 ms.

these numbers really dont make any unbearable situation in real life experience.
Well I think the difference between Iphone touch and other android phones touch is that touch priority in iOS is the first priority but that in other android devices is in same priority with other processes. So feeling of the iphone touch is more pleasent. But anything else in iOS is just a limit....

Sorry could you re post when you start making sense?

11. LGisgood (Posts: 833; Member since: 23 Jun 2012)

you should not forget the price difference .

LG G3 Snapdragon 801 is a bit cheaper while the Snapdragon 805 will be a bit expensive.

actually,it gives people options to choose.
either of the two are great and special.

lol what?

16. drunkenjay (Posts: 1075; Member since: 11 Feb 2013)

why? like how apple costs 300 dollars cheaper in the us compared to australia?

Sorry, what are you saying?
I'm saying, biggest sales and hype is abroad, shun the buyer, he'll look elsewhere.

Sadly most people wont even know an upgraded model exists, only people who look into it or frequent phone sites, the masses will probably never know it happened.

23. AfterShock (Posts: 3698; Member since: 02 Nov 2012)

True enough, sadly indeed.

Trust me, everyday performance is very smooth. I've been using the handset for 2 weeks now.

How's the screen brightness?

No comment . . .

True. Right now I am thoroughly annoyed at both companies' strategy. No difference between the two.
