Re: LG's official poster spotted
I understand, but this would also go for the "don't buy the new handset with the 805 because the 809/810 is coming in January!"
It never ends
No.. I disagree with that statement.
Reason being, the jump to 2K 1440P Quad-HD is a big one.. the Adreno 330 was on the drawing boards what? maybe late 2012 early 2013?
It was not designed with 1440P Q-HD in mind.. but the newer and stronger Adreno 420 is.. That being said the next one has to ask themselves is how long am I going to keep a new device? and, what am I going to do with it?
If all you do is read and play checkers with a little fruit ninja on your phone.. you have no worries. the 801 / 330 combo will do you just fine.
But if you are a heavy gamer.. If you watch a lot of HD content or 4K content.. if you cast to your T.V... if you want to feel secure in the knowledge that you purchased the most power available for this New Technology then you go with a Snapdragon 805 / Adreno 420 deivce period.. Especially if you are planning on financing this $650.00 to $700.00 device for the next 2 years.
Or.. do you have Cash.. to purchase now.. so that if you like for example what Google is going to sell in their 2015 Silver Line of upscale devices you can sell your S5 Prime or HTC Prime that was the strongest 32 Bit SoC that was available in 2014 ( You have to think resale value as well ) pay the difference and get that 64 Bit Snapdragon 808 / 810 SoC... but you also have to ask yourself, will there be software ON DAY 1 to DAY 60 that will truly take advantage of the 808 / 810's 64 Bit registers? But all this said.. not to worry, just like Samsung with the S5 and HTC with the M8.. LG will this fall release their own "Prime" G3 so they can catch back up with the other 2.. worry about 2015 in 2015.. for the here and now, you want to go with the 805 / 420.. just be patient until about the 4th of July..............
