Just a few moments ago, Qualcomm introduced the 64-bit Snapdragon 808 and Snapdragon 810 processors, which are likely to have a very significant impact on the development and performance of future Android devices, including devices from Samsung. In addition to supporting 4K UHD displays, these processors are said to be able to significantly speed up LTE connections, improve the graphical enjoyment of games and increase the speed of the device many times over. At the moment, these are the most powerful chips from the Qualcomm range, as both offer Cat 6 LTE Advanced technology and, thanks to the support of 3x20MHz LTE CA, enable data speeds of up to 300 Mbps.
The Snapdragon 808 supports WQXGA displays with a resolution of 2560×1600, which is the same resolution offered by the 13″ Retina MacBook Pro. Meanwhile, the Snapdragon 810 supports 4K Ultra HD displays and can record 4K video at a respectable 30 FPS, while Full HD video can be played at 120 FPS. The 808 itself is equipped with six cores and an Adreno 418 graphics chip, which is up to 20% faster than its predecessor, the Adreno 330, and also supports LPDDR3 memory. The Snapdragon 810 provides eight cores and the Adreno 430 chip, which is even faster, specifically by 30% compared to its predecessor with the 330 marking, and supports LPDDR4 RAM, Bluetooth 4.3, USB 3.0 and NFC. The cores in the lower version are in a ratio of 2:4, i.e. two A57 cores and four A53 cores, in the higher version the numbers of both types are equal. The new processors should not arrive in the device until the beginning of 2015, so it is very likely that we will see one of them already in the next generation Galaxy S, apparently in Samsung Galaxy S6.
