Qualcomm Anounces Snapdragon 450: How it will change entry level smartphones

Qualcomm Snapdragon 450 Announced – 14nm, Dual Camera Support And More

Qualcomm Technologies Inc has announced a new entry to its Snapdragon 400 Mobile Platform series- the Qualcomm Snapdragon 450. Qualcomm Incorporated, the parent company of QTI, has revealed this at the Mobile World Congress, Shanghai 2017.
Qualcomm is highlighting four major improvements in the 450 over the previous generation. First up are the somewhat obvious improvements in CPU and GPU speed, which the company notes is up to 25 percent faster than the 435. That increase in speed doesn’t come at the expense of battery life, though; the 450 offers up to four extra hours of power over the 435. The new processor is able to handle more advanced camera systems now, with support for either dual cameras at 13 megapixels each or a single camera with up to 21 megapixels. The Snapdragon 450 also has Qualcomm’s X9 LTE modem, which offers improved LTE speeds. And finally, there’s some improved hardware support in the 450, which, unlike the 435, can power a full 1080p display as well as enables USB 3.0.
" It would be interesting to see how quick smartphone manufacturers adopt this new mobile platform and we get to see dual cameras and quick charge on entry level smartphones"

Samsung India Says Sold 1 Million Tizen-Based Z1 Smartphones Since Launch

Image
After making a poor first impression in India since its launch in January, the Samsung Z1 seems to be doing reasonably well. Samsung India Electronics on Tuesday announced that it has sold a 'record' 1 million units of the Tizen-powered smartphone in the country. The company added it managed to achieve this milestone in less than six months since the launch. Samsung Z1 is the company's first smartphone to run on its Tizen operating system. The company has previously used the operating system on its Gear smartwatches, and televisions. Samsung had first unveiled a Tizen-based smartphone in June, the Samsung Z, but never did release it in its launch market in Russia - saying it was indefinitely postponed. Some of the advantages Samsung Z1 gets using the lightweight Tizen OS is a fast boot time, quick access to apps, and fast browser performance using compression. Also featured is a built-in SOS alert system that enables users to reach out for help by pressing the power butt...

Xiaomi vs Micromax: A tale of two smartphone brands

Image
The smartphone market is one of India’s fastest-growing business sector, and an increasing number of consumer electronics brands want a slice of the action. A number of players, both domestic and foreign, have entered this market in recent years with varying degrees of success. There’s no denying that the arrival of Chinese smartphone makers in particular has had a huge impact on domestic brands like Micromax and Intex. Companies that once dominated in terms of market share are now struggling to retain a foothold in this increasingly crowded space. To get a clear idea of how Chinese manufacturers have impacted the Indian smartphone industry, we have compared the market records of leading players from both nations: Xiaomi from China and Micromax from India. According to market research firm IDC, the Redmi Note 4 by Xiaomi was the highest-selling smartphone by volume in the first quarter of 2017, shipping 1.8 million units. It toppled South Korean giant Samsu...

HTC Desire 826 vs HTC Desire EYE: first look

Image
HTC did what it should have a long time ago, and moved its 4 MP UltraPixel snapper at the front, placing a more orthodox 13 MP camera at the rear of the newly-announced Desire 826 . We just took it for a spin, comparing it with HTC's original idea for a selfie-oriented handset, the Desire Eye, and found quite a few differences. Design The phones sport a largely similar design concept, with matte plastic unibodies that are very comfortable to hold, and rounded corners with a colored separation rim around the sides. The Desire 826 is, naturally, the larger, harder to handle phone, due to the increased screen diagonal, but the difference is not that crummy, since both are pretty big phones anyway, thanks to the embedded BoomSound stereo speakers at the front, requiring that you work them with both hands pretty often. The Desire 826 is notably heavier than the Eye, though. Display With a 5.5" 1080p display, the Desire 826 returns a slightly low...
