There were no 805 issues and the MDM 9635 is new.

Modems | Qualcomm

I know that you and a lot of people want replacing those components to be as simple as as changing colored Legos but it's just not.

Radio frequency motherboards are not trivial. Up the frequencies, up the data transfer rates and it requires a whole new board design so that your device doesn't fail due to parasitic effects creating sneak circuits thanks to the magic of alternating current creating rotating magnetic fields that in turn translate into other alternating currents on other wires where they don't belong.

I was just trying to help by pointing out that the big feature of another rumored Prime is LTE-Advanced.

Oddly enough, many people in the cell phone industry think that LTE-Advanced is somehow more important than the best possible GPU experience.

I have no idea how they got into their heads that it might be a good idea to combine the two or how they could possibly think that LTE-Advanced is a good idea when we don't have it yet.

(If you think I didn't see what I just did there, ok.) :D

Of course, I could be wrong and the whole interview with LG could be a hoax.

Btw - really surprised that no one has zeroed in on the fact that the new T-Mobile G3 is going to have the 805 and 4/64 for only $75 more than the 3/32 model. It's getting announced 9 days after the main one, and available for immediate delivery on that day.

:rolleyes:

........... I thought the 4/64 had the 810? :smokingsomb:

- first, how do you know, if I may ask?
- second, initial cost for R&D of putting in a new chip w/new architecture is quite high and should be taken into consideration;
- third, cost does not have much to do with the version/pricing/naming conventions. It is quite possible that LG pays less for 805 to QUALCOMM than for 801.

To give it a better idea instead of sources this will give you an illustration.

That channel is awesome btw.

Whoa whoa WHOA! Stop the clock. Are we believing for certain that the 805 is happening? Between the snark and sarcasm, I can't always tell. I have a very hard time allowing myself to buy into this.

We are serious men here, son, we don't joke about serious matters here.

Be prepared to put in quite a few of your hard-earned dollars for the prosperity of LG Electronics.:D

Hell, my LG washer and dryer probably cost half as much combined.
 
This is the biggest no-brainer I've stumbled across in a long time (if true!). QHD and 805..........very future proof. I couldn't really care less about the cost if in the realm of reality. Now more than ever, get this thing in my grubby hands. Stop playing with me LG and deliver the dang goods.

I hate to bring those news to you, but nuffing is future proof.
Especially in tech.

Future is not what it used to be.

As much as I like new G3, I am quite sure that a year from now we will be eyeing something even more exciting.

Eh boy this prime stuff is like an epidemic. There's always a prime, it's called the next device. The G3 was the G2's prime.

I am kind of surprised, to tell you the truth.

If they release both "regular" and 'prime' at the same time here in the US, sales of one will cannibalize sales of another.

But what do I know? Marketing is a high science, and I didn't even pass 101 there yet :D

I don't know. I don't want a metal body. I don't even like the brushed metal look. I'd rather have simple matte plastic that doesn't feel slippery in hand. Give it a little bit of a raised edge around the glass and I'd gladly go caseless.

Ditto. I like plastic too, but consumers generally are shallow creatures. Metal looks cool! Oblivious of weaker signal and more chances for cracked screens from drops :)


The Prime would release out of the launch window of the G3 and then the G3 positioned as the value version :) ;)
 
My friend's cousin has an uncle that works for LG. He said that in September they are releasing the G3 Opus. It will have a super secret 900 chip, 4K screen(5.5"), 7,000mah battery(removable), 8gb RAM, 1tb of storage, 2 lasers (one for photos and one for engraving), water and dust proof, iris scanner, NFC, wireless charging, stylus, IR, and will skip Android 5.0 and go straight to 6.0 a.k.a Whatchamacallit. It will also project up to an 165" screen on any surface in 4k and 3D. Price point is only $1,000US.

hmm..my crystal ball shows that $449.99 is possible for the "value" version.

and that "value' version most probably will have all I really need.:p

It's going to be a different model than the G3.

Its focus is LTE-Advanced and they're discussing it because at least two Korean carriers may be ready to support that.

LG was quite specific about that.

Nonetheless, when it releases here after the G3, people are going to cry about how they got cheated.

Along with owners crying about the matching Prime for the other brands.

As for future proofing - I've never seen that before, it sounds really cool. ;) :)
