Google has never made out the best smartphones in their Nexus
range , the devies always being mediocore in all the features have been known
only for their latest version of Android . LG have been very busy releasing new
hardware and there are now rumours that they could be about to reveal an 8-core
Odin processor with their next smartphones. There
were rumours going around before the announcement of the LG Optimus G Pro about
the company finishing work on the 8-core processor and this will feature in the
device if timing worked out. However the LG Optimus G Pro launched with a
quad-core processor. Now all eyes are on the next Optimus device to get the
Odin chipset. The processor, which has the codename of Odin, will be put into
mass production later this year. It is said that the chip will have the ARM
big. LITTLE processor and this is what Samsung use in the Exynos 5 Octa
processor. This is manufactured with the 28nm High K Metal Gate fabrication
tech. It will have support for full HD at 1920 x 1080 and it is has been said
that it will not come with a baseband modem and that it might work with four
Cortex A15 cores. These would deal with tasks that are heavy and the other four
Cortex A7 cores would be used for the daily tasks. At the moment we don’t know
which device will get this processor but word on the street is that it will be
the successor to the current LG Optimus G. The LG Optimus G is selling quite
well currently and the same can be said about its Nexus variation, the LG Nexus
4, which is almost identical in terms of hardware. If the LG Optimus G sequel
does get the octa-core chipset, we may also be lucky enough to see the Google Nexus
5 get the same privilege,that is if LG gets a second shot at a pure Google
phone just like Samsung did. Given that the LG Nexus 4 was unveiled in
November, it is safe to assume the same will happen with the Google Nexus 5
this year. That would tie in with the chip production as well. We can dream
can’t we?
