The lg g5 will have a mini version in latin america

As they read it at the beginning, LG officially confirmed that even when the LG G5 will be sold in the United States, Asia and Europe in a single model powered by the Snapdragon 820 , there is a variant that was not announced during the presentation but that will be the which will end up on the south side of the globe. Read on and we will explain everything about this new version for the LG G5 in Latin America.

LG G5 in Latin America trimmed in features

The model that will be launching for Latin America will come in its place with the Snapdragon 652, this means a significant deterioration in the product that many entered through the eyes during the presentation last week.

Difference that lies in much more than the number of the SoC, while the S830 comes with 4GB of RAM, quad-core "Kyro" 2 at 2.2 GHz and 2 at 1.59GHz and an Adreno 530 GPU, the S652 is an eight-core With 4 ARM Cortex A72 and 4 A53 all at 1.GHz, in addition to being limited to just 3GB of RAM, it comes with an Adreno 510 GPU .

Although it is not a difference that casual users will easily notice, for all advanced users who since they saw the first “ Modular Smartphone ” were already gathering to buy it, this falls like a bucket of cold water as it places the G5 in LA as a "mid-high range" instead of the "flagship" that other countries will have.

As if this were not enough, one of the great attractions of the new ecosystem that LG wants to create, such as its new virtual reality glasses, the LG 360VR, will not be an option for Latin Americans either.

Which is quite curious because the S652 is capable of handling RV, as we have seen in other equipment with the same system.

These statements were made by Cristián Correa, LG Sales Manager for Chile

The Latin American version will be the Snapdragon 652, based on the feedback we had from various operators in the region when probing the accessories alternatives we had, and where the VR was not very attractive. This is why, in addition to the currency appreciation situation in our countries, savings were sought so that the product would not become so expensive and thus we would have a better proposal for LatAm without sacrificing performance and only potentially not using VR..

But you, what do you think about it? If this were your case, would you be willing to pay a little more for the high-end they promised? Or do you think it was a wise decision?
