Qualcomm Basically Confirms Snapdragon 820 for LG G5

With MWC days away, not only have leaks turned into fully gushing cracks in the foundation, but we’re also starting to get official confirmations and really, really, not-so-subtle hints as to what we can expect from the next round of flagship phones. In today’s bit of news, Qualcomm hasn’t essentially confirmed that the LG G5 will run their new Snapdragon 820 processor. Why do we say that? Take a look at the Tweet below.

Qualcomm mentions that there will be a “whole new way to play” with LG and the Snapdragon 820 on February 21. That’s all important, because we know that on February 21, LG plans to announce something around the concept of playing. We also know that the LG G5 is coming on that day. Yes, that is official.

Oh, and the robot that Qualcomm used, is featured in LG G5 promos. So yeah, I’d say the Snapdragon 820 is confirmed for the G5.

This information certainly isn’t shocking to anyone who has been following the story of the G5, but hey, we like it when things become really, real.

Don't miss a whole new way to play with @LGUSAMobile and #Snapdragon820–coming February 21. http://pic.twitter.com/ynshxqBgKS
