LG To Release A 5.9″ Phablet Featuring Company’s Very Own Chipset

[XTankSlayerX]

 

We’ve seen some rumors going around about LG’s upcoming phablet dubbed LG G3 Pro. Not many details leaked, but rumors state that this will be a 5.9-inch tablet and that it will have an impressive screen to body ratio, same goes for its processor. It was rumored that the device will launch next month and might even be LG’s first device to sport a fingerprint scanner and 4GB of RAM. Please do note that these were only rumors and nothing more than that, so take all of this with a pinch of salt.

 

Now that we got that out of the way, we’re here to talk about a new report coming from China. It seems like LG is preparing to release its own processor. It was originally rumored that the aforementioned device could sport a Snapdragon 805 or something similar, but this new rumor claims the device will showcase LG’s new processor. There aren’t many details about the chip itself as of now, but this is quite interesting. LG is a huge company and they’re making some components for their devices and for other manufacturers, LCD panels that you see on their (and other) products are a good example. LG have been relying on Qualcomm Snapdragon processors lately and that’s been working out well for them, but it seems LG wants to enter the processor market.

 

Okay, its going to be a phablet, I wonder who LG's new chip will stack up to Qualcomm and its competitors.

At least, Midgets will be able to have a correct screen size to watch TV.

[qwertywarrior]

own processor = stock ARM design  probably a big little A57/A53

[TopWargamer]

But whyyyyyyyyyyyyyy. Why do people want a giant stupid phone..?

Because 1 size does not fit all.

But whyyyyyyyyyyyyyy. Why do people want a giant stupid phone..?

Maybe they don't want to carry around a tablet and a phone so a middle size is perfect for them.

Are you 12?

Or you can just, not need a tablet sized phone to do things?

 

Are you 12?

No, but I assume you are with a reply like that.

Actually it's not that stupid. As a student I really appreciate what is basiclly a tablet inside my pocket. Because of it's portability , I tend to learn more frequently in places where I am just bored. 

 

Yeah, it's big (Note 3) , it looks stupid but who cares . Once you get used to it, it's not really that big.

 

As about LG, if they can squeeze 5.9" in near Note 3 dimensions - I'm all aboard. Not to mention 4Gb ram.

So tell me why companies are still developing devices that are smaller than tablets but bigger than regular phones.

Phablets are great. I like being able to use things like the Kindle app on my phone. Please learn to speak for yourself and yourself only.

Exactly what I was thinking.

 

I mean, I do appreciate a big screen...just make the body small.

Because people have awkward taste? I don't prefer having to carry around a massive phone in my pocket.

Yeah, no. They're ridiculous and oversized for no reason.

We already have high resolution phones, you really don't need a massive screen to boot.

If you can't handle the fact that not everyone shares your tastes and opinions, you have some serious growing up to do. Not knowing how to deal with differing opinions is a horrible personality quality.

*facedesk* You don't understand what I'm talking about obviously.

You literally said that people who don't agree with you have "awkward taste." I assume that part of your frustration has to do with the lack of small flagships, but that doesn't justify what amounts to calling the opinions of others wrong and telling people what they do/don't need or should/shouldn't like.

Are you afraid that a phone can be bigger than your boner or something? 

Is it that hard to not care what different people use phones for? Did you even had phablet for a longer period of time?

I need a semi large screen. Easier to quickly view auction pictures and such. But 6"+, is a little unnecessary for sure.
