LG Liger shows up in benchmarks with mid-range hardware

It looks like LG is planning on launching a new device in the G3 family called the LG Liger. The oddly named smartphone looks extremely similar to the G3, but LG has lowered the specs a bit, so this one effectively falls in the mid-range category of smartphones.

The device features LG’s in-house Odin CPU with four Cortex-A15 cores and four Cortex-A7 cores, similar to many newer pseudo-octacore processors. Unfortunately, that doesn’t make it an extremely high-end CPU, as the benchmarks for the device put it well below the Snapdragon 801 found in the G3. To make up for the lower speed, LG has decreased the screen resolution to 1080p instead of the extremely high resolution seen on the G3. The screen itself is also a bit bigger, coming in at 5.9-inches. Other specs include 2 GB of RAM and a 13 megapixel camera.

It’s crazy to think that an octa-core device with a 1080p screen is “mid-range,” but compared to other high-end offerings on the market, this device can’t compete with the best available. It’ll still very likely be an excellent device that won’t cost much, so keep an ear for it as we get closer to the holidays.
