            The LG G3 is slightly more powerful, but not much The G2 has a Snapdragon 800 chip, the G3 a Snapdragon 801 chip. As the naming suggests, there's not a vast difference between the two.May 27, 2014

            The G2 has a Snapdragon 800 chip, the G3 a Snapdragon 801 chip. As the naming suggests, there's not a vast difference between the two. The Snapdragon 801 is a turbo charged version of the Snapdragon 800, but each features the same sort of optimisations, the same core structure. You get four cores.May 27, 2014
