LG May Not Launch Snapdragon 875-Powered Phone in the First Half of 2021
Oct. 19, 2020According to the forum post,LG is not on the list of companies that have placed orders from Qualcomm for the upcoming flagship SoC. The post also claims that LG has bulk orderedSnapdragon 765G‘s successor Snapdragon 775 instead.
LG’s alleged plans to drift away from releasing a phone with Snapdragon 875 doesn’t come as a surprise, especially since the brand made a major change in its smartphone launch strategy last year by shutting down the G series.
With the discontinuation of the G series, LG started focusing on phones that are more appealing to the youth and to anyone who prefers a decent phone that doesn’t cost a fortune. Through this approach, LG launched theLG Velvetearlier this year. It is highly possible that LG is preparing to launch the second generation of the LG Velvet with the aforesaid Snapdragon 775 chip.
