LG Electronics Unveils First Phone with New Snapdragon Processor

LG Electronics unveiled the first phone to have Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 810 processor at its heart.

The South Korean mobile phone maker showed off the new device on Jan. 5 at the 2015 International CES, the big annual consumer electronics show in Las Vegas.

Hidden away in the LG G Flex2 is the 810 processor, which has an eight-core, 64-bit central processing unit. Qualcomm announced the chip in April.

Outside, the phone makes a fashion and ergonomic statement with its slightly curved profile.

LG said the phone will be available in South Korea at the end of the month. Other markets will follow.
