2013 was the year that high-end mobile tech really stepped into the mainstream. Devices are starting to reach a saturation point in which their top-tier specs resemble each other to such a great degree it is hard to distinguish between different models and brands. That doesn't mean the OEMs aren't going to keep trying though. In fact, 2014 looks to take that higher-end tech and push farther than ever before. We've already seen hints of several ultra-powerful devices coming to light from multiple manufacturers.
Today a leak from LG teases their up-coming newest arena combatant. According to “unidentified industry sources,” the LG G3 is coming and here are its supposedly leaked specs:
- 2,560 x 1,440 IPS LCD display (probably 5.5 inches)
- A new 2.2GHz LG-designed "Odin" big.Little octa-core processor (apparently, 8 is the new black)
- 16MP rear camera with optical image stabilization
LG has struggled to put any pressure on the juggernauts of Samsung and Apple, but perhaps 2014 could be their break-out year. Specs alone won't make that happen though. It will take some uniquely defined and useable features along with enhanced/improved marketing savvy to make any dent in the virtual duopoly of "Sample/Appsung."
More than likely LG will have something official to share regarding this device at Mobile World Congress in February 2014.
