Totally looking forward to LG’s announcement as when I played with the Qualcomm APQ8064 at an event in San Francisco , the chip produced some mind blowing numbers.
Do read my Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Pro Preview for a better understanding of the new platform. While the preview talks about a reference tablet, the phone version should not be a lot different.
