Next year’s LG G Pro 3 could be the Korean company’s first mobile device to use its own mobile chip, the long-time rumored LG Odin.
This, mind you, is still a rumor but it does make perfect sense; it’s time for LG to join the likes of Apple, Samsung and Huawei — all of which design their own chips.
If everything goes as planned, TSMC will be manufacturing the chip that will power-up LG’s next flagship phablet. Since that device will be announced in 2015, we would expect Odin to boast a 64-bit architecture. Or not, it’s not like LG already makes 32-bit chips.
The report, coming from Korea, suggests that these (Odin) chips will be ready for prime time in early 2015, making them ready for the G Pro 3, which will likely be announced at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. We expect this isn’t the last time we’ll be talking about Odin; we’ll get back to you as soon as we hear something new…
