In fact, the insiders reckon Samsung is already testing the new device for compatibility with South Korea’s major carriers.
The news comes courtesy of Sammobile, which suggests the carriers ‘might be’ LG , SKT, and Olleh.
The Snapdragon 810 is Qualcomm’s beefiest chipset yet, although it’s yet to appear on any handsets thus year, instead expected to land in early 2015.
The 64-bit friendly chip touts eight cores running of ARM’s big.Little core configuration, with Adreno 430 graphics in tow.
It’s the second Samsung chip story of this week, after we also heard that Samsung might be looking to include a Cat. 10 LTE-enabled Exynos SoC in its upcoming Galaxy S6 handset.
