Unless you give it to Samsung

LG has dismissed reports claiming that Qualcomm’s upcoming Snapdragon 810 flagship SoC is suffering from overheating issues.

The rumours started a while ago and yesterday Bloomberg reported Samsung decided to ditch the 810 and use its own SoCs in the Galaxy S6. 

However, LG vice president for mobile product planning Woo Ram-chan told reporters at a G Flex 2 press event that the chip is not a lemon.

"I am very much aware of the various concerns in the market about the (Snapdragon) 810, but the chip's performance is quite satisfactory," said Ram-chan.

According to Reuters, Ram-chan said internal tests for the new Flex 2 handset showed that the chip actually emitted less heat than chips used in existing devices. 

He added that the does not understand why there “is an issue over heat.”

Something is very wrong with the world when Bloomberg starts spreading more FUD than Fudzilla.
