We’ve been wondering for awhile now what phones would have the frankly ballistic Snapdragon 800 processor. We know it’s going to be fast because Qualcomm has repeated reminded us that it can do things like play 4K resolution videos. Well today, LG and Qualcomm jointly announced that LG’s next flagship smartphone will be powered by a Snapdragon 800.

Stopping short of actually giving it a name, or really detailing anything about the phone, LG deferred to Qualcomm to remind us of the performance afforded with the Snapdragon 800 such as 75% greater performance when compared to the pedestrian predecessor, the Snapdragon S4 and still managing to decrease battery usage.

We actually got a chance to see the Snapdragon 800 in action at E3, but we’ll tell you more about that later. If the Optimus G Pro and Nexus 4 are anything to go by, this next LG flagship could be a winner. Who would be interested in this new LG flagship phone? Let us know what you think about it in the comments.
