“It has always been Qualcomm Technologies’ strategy to introduce industry-leading features first at the premium Snapdragon 800 tier design point, and then scale these features into our other Snapdragon products.”That statement, from the semiconductor giant’s senior vice president of product management, Alex Katouzian, accompanying today’s Snapdragon 653, 626 and 427 announcements, best describes what the three non-flagship chips bring to the table. Specifications previously exclusive to 800-series processors, that is.First and foremost, support for trendy dual camera setups, ...

Back in February, Qualcomm made a pretty big fuss over the Snapdragon Wear 2100 SoC, which was supposed to usher in the “next era of wearables.” Namely, smartwatches, previously powered mainly by the Snapdragon 400 processor, which was hardly a beast to begin with in 2013, not to mention it of course started out as a product designed specifically for smartphone use.Bottom line, we were certainly ready to welcome the 2100 with open arms, but unfortunately, that “next wave” of smartwatches,

While Samsung used to make a pretty big fuss about every “new” phone or tablet it announced until not long ago, even those gadgets that practically aped their predecessors through and through, we’ve recently started to see a novel sense of humility yielding low-key introductions of minor upgrades like the Galaxy Tab A (2016).As such, we wouldn’t be altogether shocked to hear very little from Samsung prior to the commercial launch of a couple of repackaged Galaxy Tab S2 configurations. These are ...

Unless they’re made by Apple, when you think about smartphones and tablets, chances are they’ve got a Qualcomm Snapdragon powering them. Generally speaking, when we rank devices they typically fall into one of those three categories: entry-level, entry level, midrange, and high-end. Oddly enough, Qualcomm’s SoCs are also segmented by device class, but Qualcomm opted for four tiers (rather than three), this can make it a little confusing to tell which category a device falls into – such is the case with the Snapdragon 6xx family.

Founded in 1985, Qualcomm has made the processors that enable our mobile devices since it started making CDMA base stations in 1990. Since then the company has focused its attention on SoCs – systems on a chip – that are at the core of today’s smartphones and tablets. Qualcomm is even taking aim at the processors that run in servers and datacenters and Snapdragon processors have even found their way into our smartwatches. Then the Snapdragon 810 was announced, and things started to go downhill – quickly.Snapdragon 810To bring you up to speed on the Snapdragon 810 ...

Smartphones with 64-bit SoCs are already here, and someday they’ll almost certainly outnumber phones built around 32-bit components. But between now and then there’s a huge gap, and it’s one that manufacturers have been slow to cross. Apple may have its 64-bit SoCs in full swing, but companies like Qualcomm have been taking their time; the firm announced basic 64-bit chips last year, and even ...

CES 2014 is just around the bend. Anton D. Nagy, Michael Fisher and yours truly will be in attendance, and coverage will begin shortly after we land in Las Vegas Sunday afternoon. This particular show has been growing in size and attendance almost every year since its induction in 1967. But for us mobile guys, the show has become far more sparse with juicy details and big product announcements. It’s far too easy for a major device to get lost in the mass of new announcements at a show like CES. As such, companies like ...

The latest and greatest in mobile processors available today is Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 800. Able to run four cores at 2.3Ghz, process multiple high-definition streams at once, and leap tall buildings in a single bound, the 800 is the processor that you want in your phone today – regardless of who makes it or what operating system it runs. Curiously, with high-end flagships just starting to arrive with this super-powerhouse of a processor inside, we started to hear rumblings that Qualcomm may have been working ...
