LG has always been recognized as a company that has tried to innovate the mobile phone market, sometimes not always succeeding in the intent, even being misunderstood in this sense. The sales of their smartphones are not always appreciable in terms of earnings, thanks to the list price always too high compared to what the market offers, and then suffer significant depreciation that can really entice buyers.
That said, we know that Qualcomm will present its new Snapdragon 875 towards December, a top-of-the-range solution that will initially be exclusive to Samsung and Xiaomi, which should equip it on the future Mi 11, but with the temporary exclusivity of the two brands removed, LG would not appear at the moment. in the list of manufacturers interested in Qualcomm's new CPU. Indeed, it seems that the Korean company is particularly interested in the upcoming Snapdragon 775 SoC, a new chipset of which LG already seems to have placed a rather large order.

In short, it seems that LG wants to concentrate its efforts in the medium-high range of the market and thanks to the future Snapdragon 775 it could sink its rivals, who will instead face each other with the high-end Snap 875. With this LG does not give up the production of top of the range, but it simply seems to have postponed the appointment with the Snapdragon 875 to the second half of 2021.
