We’ve heard of rumours surrounding another LG flagship emerging early in 2014 to replace their current flagship, the LG G2. This device, presumed to be named the LG G3, was said to be announced in May 2013, but according to another source that spoke with Giga.de, we can expect the follow-up to the G2 to come in June 2014. The source, who wanted to remain anonymous, also mentioned that the device would be equipped with a new device; whether this means a different screen-size, screen resolution or screen-type is up for interpretation.
While it’s hard to say whether this or previous rumours are correct, but seeing as even Sony has announced its mobile strategy to comprise of bi-annual flagships, it’s entirely possible for us to see LG launching a new flagship sometime in the middle of 2014 in an effort to catch up to Samsung. The general theory of this would be to release another flagship device with mostly the same design by with updated hardware, and with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 805 on the horizon, that doesn’t sound like a bad strategy to try and catch that train.
What do you think about this rumour? And do you think launching flagships in such close proximity to each other will help or hurt LG’s position in the market? Let us know your opinion.
