MicroSD says up to 2TB?

Yeah.

It's the theoretical controller limit for microSDXC, not reality.

Someone at LG was either using a controlled substance, was a blithering idiot, or was too clever by half thinking that posting the spec that way was a win.

My guess is that the G3 will support a 2 TB SD card when and if a manufacturer produces and sells one. Why limit yourself to 128 GB. :)

Time the 2 TB data transfer with existing tech and get back to me. :D ;)

While I would love to see even 1 TB in a microsd, I won't be holding my breathe for it. Thanks for explanation em
 
Well, it's either what I said or LG is fixing to unleash a 2 TB SD card. :D

They could have just said, anything conforming to the MicroSDXC spec and let it go at that.

There was a lot of needless controversy when SanDisk released that 128 GB card because of existing web page specs.

Mine is rated for 32 and was wrong by the time the phone released.

I think the story is that when 256 comes next, this will handle it and more.

That would be mind blowing if they somehow did it. Jump from 128gb to 2tb on a microsd... lol... but of course, I'm banking on their having made a typo

Exhausted from light work, we stopped off at a Chiles, something that we don't often do. New menu, tasted great, less salt and a wireless ordering, paying, playing games terminal at the table. Fun.

Just got back in.

Noticed that no one was calling me with G3 news.

Responded to your post, going to watch cartoons and hope it improves shortly.

If that site is correct, the G3 is clocked slightly less than the S5 (2.46 vs 2.5).
Click to expand...

The S5 is 2.45 GHz as well; several companies have just been rounding up the numbers in the name of "simplicity".

But yes as was mentioned this kind of difference would be entirely inconsequential anyways.
 
No carrier released a 32GB S5, so wonder if this is a 32GB model, or did US carriers like VZW find a way to get a lower spec version and charge a higher spec price (again, like VZW).

Still happy with my S4, so the only thing that could get me to pay full price (keep my unlimited data) is if the signal reception and battery life are significantly better. If not, will wait for a 32GB model with micro sd when the 810 is released next year. That chip is a true generation update, unlike the 800/801/805 that are incremental improvements (as far as CPU and fabrication).

The 805 though is clocked higher and more memory bandwidth. That assumes read/writes can keep up with it.

The 805 memory bandwidth rating is based on new GPU memory paths.

While using the same manufacturing process technology scaling, it's layered much differently vertically than the others and is an early look at the sort of increase you get going to the Adreno 400 series.

It's expected to give 40% more graphics performance than the 801.

The 810 will be built on a 20 nm process for good cause - the A57 CPUs were expected to eat 20% more power than their 32-bit counterparts if made at 28 nm.

Big.LITTLE dual quad sporting A57s up top (64-bit ARM Cortex A15s iow, buhbye Krait), an Adreno 430 (expected to give 30% more graphics performance than the 805), the 810 will have it all.

Until it's in production next year and we see what's coming next to blow it away. :)

Sharks! You're getting me sharks with frigging G3s strapped to their foreheads?

You're freaking awesome!

Reminded me. Italian is such a beautiful language.
They call the sharks "palombos".

Not sure they have a specific word for G3 though - yet :D
 
And who can we sue? LOL. But seriously, it would be interesting to find the back story about the 805. Did Qualcomm not have the capacity ready in time for the LG timetable, or was LG so locked into design and production, that they could not re-design for the needed LTE separate modem required for the 805? I want answers!!!

I thought we did this already. :)

Qualcomm has a roadmap.

It includes targets for first samples and first production dates.

If things go wrong, those can slide out. They don't slide forward.

LG has a roadmap for when they need samples, when they need production parts and when they need to release.

Phone makers never want release dates sliding out.

The 805 is not late.

The 805 roadmap disagreed with LG's schedule, by all accounts so far. Or, LG didn't like the pricing.

LG's choices were to release later (like HTC is doing) or release sooner with a different processor.

Manufacturing logistics is very tricky and fortunes are on the line.

It was inevitable that someone wasn't going to wait for the part and this time it's LG.

The decision was made months ago.

Blog writers live in a fantasy world and have taught you to believe that semiconductors and finished goods get designed at the rate that they generate opinions.

It's just not true.

LG doesn't run out and say, "make me a processor with XYZ," while Qualcomm and TSMC hop to it.

Qualcomm said, "Here's the new catalog, with dates on when you can order things." And phone manufacturers pick from that.

Hope this helps. :)

PS - I don't know where you read about design time for a separate modem needed for the 805 because that has nothing to do with it.
 
This is coming from a semi-Apple Fanboi, but the G2 and G3 look like modern, sleek, high efficiency handsets and the renders of the Apple Iphone 6 make it look like a retro phone with the big head and chin bezels and wide side bezels. It will probably run well, but to me it is now a dull phone with a very old look. The G3 with removable battery, fantastic screen, micro sd and wireless charging, plus the Android OS is well ahead of Apple. Interesting.
