This technology, which is an improved version of Quick Charge 2.0, allows you to reduce the time of fully charge a smartphone or tablet battery to 45 minutes. Also recharge the battery to 80 per cent mark with Quick Charge 3.0 will be about half an hour (about 35 minutes). However, there was one question today – what smartphones support Qualcomm Quick Charge 3.0?

It’s been about seven months, but not as many devices as we expected support the technology Quick Charge 3.0. Currently, only five models of smartphones from different manufacturers support Quick Charge 3.0

These are such smartphones as:

• LG G5
• HTC 10
• LeTV Le MAX Pro
• Xiaomi Mi 5
• HTC One A9

We should note that the latest smartphone HTC A9 initially did not support Quick Charge 3.0 technology, but received it after its debut on the market with an operating system upgrade.

Many of us expected that new flagship of Samsung Galaxy S 7 and S7 edge will get Quick Charge 3.0, because they are also equipped with a processor Snapdragon 820 in certain markets of the world. However, this did not happen.

It is hoped that the anniversary of the presentation Quick Charge 3.0 will increase the number of supported devices and will contain more than a dozen different models.

Just yesterday we talked about the rumors, according to which Taiwan has postponed announcement of HTC One M10 in March this year. A recent leak finder known under the nickname LlabTooFeR told that smartphone will hit stores in several versions.

LlabTooFeR believes that HTC One M10 will be based on a powerful hardware platform Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 for US and Europe, and people from China and Southeast Asia will be able to purchase smartphone with chipset MediaTek. Although LlabTooFeR does not specify the model chipset MediaTek, hardly anyone doubts that it would be 10-core chipset MediaTek Helio X20.

Among other features of HTC One M10 are mentioned Android 6.0 with a proprietary shell Sense.

HTC is not the only manufacturer that decided to release smartphone with two platforms. For example, we know that Samsung Galaxy S7 comes with two processors Exynos 8890 and Snapdragon 820.

Of course, HTC cannot go on the way Samsung, but MediaTek Helio X20 may well be a viable alternative Snapdragon 820 and certainly raise the popularity of smartphone in Asian market.

HTC has long been used processor MediaTek to its smartphones for the Asian market. But before that, the Taiwan company preferred to produce them in the form of modification of original flagship (for example, HTC One M9 + or One M9e).

HTC One M10 can be the first smartphone of Taiwanese manufacturer, which will initially be offered with a variety of SoC.

The probable time of announcement of HTC One M10 Perfume is called the month of March, and smartphone will go on sale no earlier than April.

One of these top Asian manufacturers is an ambitious company Xiaomi. At the beginning of November, this year will release its new flagship smartphone Xiaomi Mi5. The phone based on a powerful hardware platform Snapdragon 820. Let’s look at the key features of the phone.

Features of Xiaomi Mi5

Chinese informants found that the device will immediately set 4GB high-speed RAM LPDDR4. And on the front panel has a 5.5-inch capacitive touchscreen display with a Quad-HD resolution.

Xiaomi Mi5 be able to offer users of the fingerprint scanner. Moreover, thanks to the smartphone chipset Snapdragon 820. The Chinese manufacturer will be able to equip it with ultrasonic fingerprint sensor from Qualcomm. It has a number of advantages over conventional fingerprint scanners and does not require a capacitive sensor or a separate button. Therefore, Xiaomi will ensure a silent install of the scanner, which is integrated into the design Xiaomi Mi5.

But the advantages of Xiaomi Mi5 does not end there. The novelty will receive a powerful 16- or 20-megapixel camera. Also universal port USB-C. This will be enclosed in an ultra-thin body thickness of only 5.1 mm.

Informants clarify that Xiaomi Mi5 was to debut this summer. But later, the date of the announcement has been adjusted on the basis of the “road map” Qualcomm. Chinese manufacturer specially awaits the arrival of the hardware platform Snapdragon 820, hoping to release a smartphone with the most powerful features.

Conclusion of Xiaomi Mi5

Well, in order to stay afloat until the full flagship. Xiaomi has decided to offer users a smartphone Xiaomi Mi4s is slightly updated version of last year’s flagship. And equipped with Snapdragon chipset 810 and the main 13Mp camera with optical image stabilization technology. His announcement is expected on July 15 this year.

According to the report prepared by the International Telecommunication Union, more than half the world’s population does not have access to the Internet. The new plan is, however, could make it available to billions of people. Among US OneWeb say that the project will begin, in which you plan to create a global network of satellites to use them to provide a global high-speed, perhaps, partly free, access to the Internet.

On many other projects that developers tend to help in the process of ensuring global access to the Internet, previously announced repeatedly in different sources. Project Loon from Google suggests in the course of transmission of the Internet-connected balloons over some areas, while in Facebook and internet.org as a result of their cooperation plan to do for this squadron of drones. How would there, however, may be soon, we risk to face a reality in which to work well, does not turn out to escape, even deliberately leaving in the corners where the phone does not catch and no Internet. Maybe soon we will sёrvfit waves and pages of sites simultaneously, because the hand for this may no longer be necessary.

The company’s approach OneWeb differs from all previous ideas. The firm has received a huge investment from the famous brainchild of Richard Branson – Virgin and from company Qualcomm. These funds are intended to create a project and bring it to mind and implement. Namely – run 648 micro-satellites into orbit. Satellites provide a low latency connection, high speed Internet access and, according to Virgin, will be a biggest ever created a satellite network in the world.

To provide access to the Internet, satellites will be connected to terminals that are supposed to be deployed on the ground if necessary. In OneWeb say that these terminals will be self-installable (ie, tilting) and provide connectivity to neighboring plants by Wi-Fi, LTE, 3G or 2G network mobile operators. This same network will be able to provide the ability to make emergency calls.

If you follow the news from the world of mobile technology, you probably know the name of the processor, which will be located inside the flagships of the next year. Yes, we are talking about an eight Snapdragon 810. By the way, the number of cores – is not the only news item that is required to enthrall. In addition, the chip companies Qualcomm offers and other interesting features. Which of them should we know? Let’s see.

Protection against thieves – Snapdragon 810

It turns out that the creators of the latest generation of chip decided to implement it in a kind of analogue signaling. Feature called SafeSwitch Technology obliged to protect user data from unauthorized persons, who can master the device.

This is done using remote lock your smartphone, as well as confirmation of commands entered at the system level.

More and more clearly – Snapdragon 810

Perhaps it is no secret that today’s most popular video hosting full support 4K video. What on earth is the flagship 2015 worse? Absolutely nothing.

Eight-giant will not only view and record 4K movies, and broadcast them on the big screen. Who needs it – an open question, but this feature is unlikely to be superfluous.

Louder and more juicy – Snapdragon 810

Of course, since there is the quality of reproduced audio. Thanks to technology Dolby Atmos listening to music and movie soundtracks will improve dramatically. How noticeable is the result of an inexperienced user – hard to say, but manufacturers do not doubt in his product.

Speak softly – Snapdragon 810

Talk on the phone in a crowded room – what could be worse? However, with the new processor, this situation should improve somewhat. The thing in the advanced noise reduction: During one microphone reproduces the voice, while the second is struggling with ambient noise.

A pleasant surprise is that this function works while recording movies.

What is this song?

It is obvious that, thanks to that described in the preceding paragraph, innovation detection of unknown tracks will be much more effective. According to our colleagues from phonearena, one of the most well-known applications of this direction – Shazam – will be built into the system.

Accordingly, to identify an unfamiliar song is just pushing.

Which of these features did you enjoy the most? How Come Snapdragon 810? Share your answers in the comments.

Qualcomm’s Snapdragon processors provide the performance of a variety of devices, from smartphones to the average person the latest flagships. Some manufacturers, including major players in the market, truly depend on Qualcomm, all needing a lot of their chips to meet consumer demand. And it seems that next year it could be a problem.

For example, the latest version of the processor Snapdragon 810 must be installed in smartphones like Samsung Galaxy S6 and LG G4, each of which, as you know, is the flagship device, so – on its sales expectations were high.

However, according to GSMArena with reference to the Korean sources, generation of smartphones in 2015 may be in “grave danger”. The fact that Qualcomm has serious problems with Snapdragon 810, which may interfere with the mass production of the chip, and hence the delay of future releases of the set of devices.

According to the report, the processor is subject to overheating at a certain voltage, which greatly affects its performance. In addition, the problem supplement claims to the operation of the controller memory and possible bugs in the drivers Adreno 430 graphics chip.

Recall that the Korean giant said it is possible to produce its own chips. There is a notorious Samsung Exynos, and LG unveiled in October LG G3 Screen, working on the first processor company – NUCLUN. Nevertheless, such a solution cannot be called painless, and the problem of the delay output devices on the market that will not solve. In small batches processors require manufacturers.

However, the information is unconfirmed, so – continues to be classified as rumors.

In Snapdragon 810 revealed serious problems

The system-on-chip Qualcomm Snapdragon 810, which should become the flagship chip for smartphones and tablets in the first half of next year, is still far from ready. According to the newspaper BusinessKorea, corporations LG and Samsung are faced with problems of overheating and numerous errors on their smartphones developed.

According to preliminary measurements made by the departments of development and testing LG and Samsung, Snapdragon 810 at the nominal operating frequency quickly heats up to temperatures uncomfortable for the user, and then pretty quickly controller chip temperature starts to resort to “throttling”, because of which seriously begins to sink performance. Furthermore, we found the problem of interaction of the processor and memory controller, resulting in errors. Without defects and does not cost the newest video processor Adreno 430, wrongly implements the specification OpenGL ES, but According to the source within the Qualcomm, is the smallest of the problems within the company as a bug in a graphics accelerator drivers already fixed, but customers corporations have not yet received the updated binaries.

According to sources BusinessKorea, Samsung is considering extending the geographical distribution of its smartphones with chips Exynos 7 because of problems with the Snapdragon 810, but the main obstacle to this will be LTE-modem, which requires certification of mobile operators who are accustomed to working with Qualcomm Gobi modems instead Intel XMM and others. The LG is no backup plan B in case of unavailability Snapdragon 810 for commercial release, so the companies are waiting for solutions from the most Qualcomm. The American company, of course, declined to comment, citing the fact that do not discuss rumors, but clarified that her own projects – a smartphone and a tablet for developers will go according to plan – in mid-December. The first announcements of smartphones and tablets on the new chip is expected to exhibitions Consumer Electronic Show and the Mobile World Congress in the first quarter of 2015.

We had problems with Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 chipset

Many major manufacturers of smartphones depend on the supply of chipsets Qualcomm.

The following year, the market should see flagship smartphone Samsung Galaxy S6 and LG G4 on the latest chipset Snapdragon 810. But recently appeared on the network rumors threaten these companies’ plans.

Korean sources claim that Qualcomm had serious problems with overheating Snapdragon 810 at a certain voltage. Even more trouble Qualcomm exacerbated by problems with the controller RAM and chipset drivers Adreno 430 GPU.

These problems are quite fixable, but they can lead to a certain delay in the start of mass production of Snapdragon 810 and affect the timing of release of some flagship smartphone or change their configuration.

Droid Turbo with incredible battery and Moto X 2014 are among the most notable phones season. One of the main characteristics of the user’s interests is the quality of the camera device. It is time to compare the new camera phones Motorola, although it will not be easy to do, because the Moto X has a 13-megapixel camera, and the Droid Turbo boasts an incredible 21-megapixel camera.

We are talking about basic camera phone. Resource Explorer SlashGear Chris Barnes has done a great job, matching PhotoChances cameras considered smartphones and its remarkable Illustrated notes provide users with the opportunity to become acquainted with what has to be expected from new products Motorola.

Droid Turbo or Moto X?

At first glance it may seem that the Droid Turbo repeats specifications Moto X in 2014, but in fact it is not. Rather, it is much like Nexus 6 display, CPU, RAM, and even drive. Moto X 2014 is not so powerful.

So, Droid Turbo features a 21-megapixel camera on the back, while the 2014 Moto X users have to settle for a 13-megapixel camera. The more megapixels, the larger the image can be photographed. But does this mean that a “megapixel” camera lets you capture better photos and videos? Of course not! At least not always.

Droid Turbo based on the Qualcomm Snapdragon processor 805, while the Moto X 2014 – by Qualcomm Snapdragon 801. It may also exert their influence on the quality of images and videos, as well as the processor does its job against them.

First of all, look at the trees photographed shadows sunny afternoon. The comparison shows that both cameras have achieved almost identical results and team photo appears solid, if not much to look closely and do not know what its parts are made ​​of different camera phones.

And now look at the pavement, photographed on a sunny day, but already the sun. And here you can already see some difference between the two cameras. Moto X 2014 takes a warmer image, while the image of the Droid Turbo more accurate.

Now it is the turn photos into conditions that can hardly be called favorable for photography. When shooting indoors, where the only light source is room lighting, Droid Turbo does the job a little better.

When you record movies with Moto X 2014 is a warmer sunny picture than the Droid Turbo, which produces clearer movies.

Have you noted a significant difference between the qualities of the cameras Droid Turbo  shooting two considered phones? Or she is not so great as to be decisive in the choice of his next smartphone user?

In the Korean company LG and its main rival Samsung in the near future there will be one more thing in common – as well as the largest vendor Android-devices, gadgets created with the keys on the back cover is planning to start production of its own processors called Odin.

Compete with the Exynos first Odin is 8 cores: 4×2,2 GHz Cortex-A15 and 4×1,7 GHz Cortex-A7 architecture ARM big.LITTLE. By the release of processors involved and the Taiwanese company TSMC, which makes the A8 for the “apple” of the corporation. However, it is worth remembering that, before the official comments from the representatives of LG Electronics all just rumors.

AndroidAuthority sources claim that the first smartphone equipped with a chip Odin, will be presented in the first quarter of 2015, so it is logical to assume that the next in the line fablet G Pro will get his name, and not the “heart” of Qualcomm.

The company Qualcomm introduced Snapdragon processor 810 in April, but the first devices based on this chip should appear only in the near future. This is evidenced by the data obtained from a synthetic benchmark AnTuTu, which was seen by the new unknown device.

According to the source androidheadlines, a prototype device, seen in the test, was equipped with a screen diagonal of 6.2 inches and a resolution of 2560 by 1600 pixels, graphics Adreno 430 and the operating system Android 4.4.2 KitKat. The main feature of the gadget has become the most powerful mobile processor Snapdragon 810.

Qualcomm Snapdragon processor 810 is seen in test performance AnTuTu

Recall that the Qualcomm Snapdragon processor 810 is built on a 64-bit architecture and is equipped with a quad-core Cortex-A57 and four additional cores Cortex-A53. It is worth noting that all these nuclei can be operated simultaneously, allowing the processor to display a record performance of its competitors.

According to the test AnTuTu, the processor has a frequency of 940 megahertz, but the production model of the chip will operate at a frequency of 2 GHz.

Unfortunately, the test results themselves, we do not see, however, is likely in the near future the market will be issued new phones equipped with Snapdragon processor 810.

The conference QRD (Qualcomm Reference Design) was announced in the near start mass production of the new 8-core mobile chipset – Snapdragon 615. By the way, this is the first processor from Qualcomm ctakim cores.

Snapdragon 615 will be built on 64-bit architecture and accommodate themselves to eight cores Cortex-A53. Graphics processor Adreno 405 installed here. Do not forget about LTE chip. As for the screen resolution, it will be supported up to 2560×1600 pixels.

Incidentally, an interesting fact. In the summer of 2013 at Qualcomm said they did not see the point of producing processors with more cores (then under the downpour American jokes were Chinese chips MediaTek).

Production of 64-bit versions of Snapdragon 810 (8 cores) and Snapdragon 808 (6 cores) is scheduled for late 2014. All chips that are built on 20-nm process will be collected on the TSMC (Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company).

Also at the conference shared their views on the market for mobile chips. In 2014, likely to be quickly gaining popularity processors with LTE (something comparable to the tremendous growth of 8-core processors in 2013). By the way, due to the popularity of these chipsets, the average price of smartphones on them has dropped to $ 163.
