It’s getting quite messy surrounding the Qualcomm Snapdragon 810, the company’s new 64-bit processor. There have been reports of overheating, prompting the likes of LG and Samsung to delay their latest flagship smartphones. However, Samsung has its own processing company (Exynos) and is threatening to go it alone with the upcoming Galaxy S6. In response Qualcomm has reportedly offered to make Samsung a bespoke (non-overheating I presume) Snapdragon 810, which in turn has resulted in LG apparently threatening to sue Qualcomm.
LG has already announced a smartphone rocking the 810, the recently unveiled G Flex 2, so the company would obviously be pretty miffed if Qualcomm gives Samsung preferential treatment. Reports in Korea say that LG is willing to take court action over the matter, although nothing has been confirmed. Xiaomi also has a Snapdragon 810 packing device, the Mi Note Pro, so the Chinese company would probably be angry too, although no reports of that are coming from China just yet.
