The LG G4 is one of the standout devices of 2015, so it’s natural that we look forward to its eventual successor with high expectations. A new rumour has surfaced today which suggests that LG‘s next flagship, we’re assuming is called the LG G5, will have the latest and greatest processor from Qualcomm, the Snapdragon 820, as well as a custom Sony camera sensor. The news of the processor isn’t particularly surprising seeing as how good the Snapdragon 820 is expected to be, but recall that LG shunned the more powerful Snapdragon 810 this year over rumours of overheating in favour of the more stable Snapdragon 808 – we wouldn’t expect this to be the case again next year, but there’s always a chance.
The camera sensor mentioned is also quite interesting – the rumour says that the sensor will be a 20MP camera, up from the 16MP sensor in the LG G4, and it will measure just 0.5-inch wide and built by Sony. Given how impressive LG’s cameras have been over the last few years, we’re properly excited to see how this turns out if this rumour turns out to be true. Naturally, we still have the better part of half a year before LG will be releasing the LG G5, so we’ll keep our minds open for now.
