The Galaxy S5 and Xperia Z2 are already announced, and HTC's new One (aka M8) unveiling is imminent, so it's time that leaks start pouring in about the next big thing in Android land this season - the LG G3. The handset is supposed to bear at least three codenames internally - AT&T's LG D-850, D-851, and Verizon's VS985.
A leaked graphics benchmark screenshot puts all this guesswork on the backburner, though, as the handset's Android build board is listed as MT6595, which is the tag of MediaTek's most powerful processor to date. The octa-core monster is claimed to be in the same league as Snapdragon 805. MT6595 has four powerful 2.2-2.5 GHz Cortex-A17 cores, and four 1.7 GHz Cortex-A7 ones for the everyday tasks, all paired with a fast Rogue PowerVR Series6 GPU.
If the screenshot turns out to be credible, it will be interesting to see whether LG has indeed managed to test and implement an unproven processor in the G3. It has been intermittently rumored to be developing its own ARM-based processor line, though this speculation never materialized, so we'll have to take a wait-and-see approach here. The QHD panel, however, has been mentioned by a couple of sources already, so LG might actually be the first brand-name phone maker to come up with a 1440x2560 pixels flagship phone display.
