The (unsurprising) inclusion of the Snapdragon 820 also could help decipher LG's cryptic "Play Begins" line it's been teasing. The 820 is one of the new processors that support the new Vulkan gaming APIs, which were released to developers this week.

The reveal of the LG G5 will take place in Barcelona, just ahead of MWC 2016.
