Rumours in today claim that
Qualcomm’s
Snapdragon 805 processor may be
launched earlier than anticipated with the
first 805 running phones believed to
launch as early as May!
The Qualcomm 805 is an
updated version of the
flagship Snapdragon 800 chipset which is found in many top of the range
smartphones such as the
Xiaomi Mi3,
Vivo Xplay 3S and
Gionee Elife E7. The 805 isn’t available yet, but Engadget are reporting that
smartphones (and tablet?) running the new
processor could
launch before the end of the
first half of 2014!
No partnerships have been announced but a May date sounds about right for the
One Plus One flagship phone launch, it is also a good time for Xiaomi to announce an
updated Xiaomi Mi3S, and after hearing
these rumours Meizu is a prime candidate for a Snapdragon 805
phone.
Who do you think will be first?
