News & Reviews:   Qualcomm

Based on a statement by gizmochina, it seems that a vivo or an iQOO smartphone may have been spotted, hinting that it will be unveiled somewhere around March 2021. While not much is known in regards to the Malaysia release date, it does give us a better idea of what to expect when it is available in the global market.

We often write about mobile chipsets, as they're a key spec in smartphones. But it's important to know that the modems are what help us stay connected to the Internet. On that topic, Qualcomm launched its new Snapdragon X65 mobile 5G modem yesterday, promising even better performance than before.

As the pandemic continues to hit the market, it seems that Qualcomm might have a shortage on its semiconductor. In fact, the company themselves gave a warning that they are struggling a bit to meet the demand, as confirmed by CEO Cristiano Amon.

Just when we thought Qualcomm will focus on their Snapdragon 888 chipsets, the company has unexpectedly a brand new Snapdragon 870 5G chipset mobile platform. From the tech specs and key features, it almost looks like that it's a small upgrade from the Snapdragon 865+ but anyway, here's everything you need to know.

Based on a statement by digital chat station on the user’s weibo account, it seems that an upcoming vivo smartphone is expected to come equipped with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 870 chipset. While not much is known in regards to the exact tech specs, our source did mention that it will most likely be an overclocked version of the Snapdragon 865 chipset.

After announcing the Exynos 2100 yesterday, it looks like Samsung still has another powerful chipset in the works. It is confirmed that the company is creating a new flagship chipset that features graphic technology from AMD. With that said, can the future Exynos chipset finally take a chance to win against Qualcomm's invention?

Ever since Apple introduced the fingerprint scanner, phone brands started integrating the feature and soon introduced an under-display fingerprint scanner. Although it's not entirely perfect yet, Qualcomm just announced their own Qualcomm 3D Sonic Sensors (second-generation) technology to unlock phones. They said it can even recognize wet fingertips.

Many countries are pushing 5G heavily, but 5G devices tend to be more expensive. As a result, chipmakers are starting to make cheaper options like mid-range 5G chipsets. Now, Qualcomm has gone one step further by unveiling the entry-level 5G chipset - the Snapdragon 480.

It seems that a user on weibo has recently posted on his account, stating that the upcoming Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 Plus 5G chipset is expected to be unveiled somewhere around H2 2021. While not much is known in regards to which exact smartphone will come equipped with the aforementioned chipset, we do know that it will come with a much higher clock speed compared to the non-Plus variant.
