LG G6 Features spoil last year’s Snapdragon 821

Disturbing rumors were confirmed: the characteristics of LG G6 features really be marred last year’s mobile processor Snapdragon 821 from Qualcomm. It which the manufacturer is planning to install in place of the current and the most powerful Snapdragon 835.

According to insiders, at the International CES 2017 in early January. LG held a closed presentation of its new flagship. Someone recently published in the online picture slide with the characteristics of LG G6. It whereas the processor appears MSM8996AC, that is just 821 Snapdragon.

LG G6 FEATURES AND SPECIFICATIONS:

This rather strange move attributed to the fact that the company does not want to deviate. So, it from the earlier of the plan for the production of smartphones due to lack of the necessary components in sufficient quantities. According to rumors, all the first party of the new Snapdragon 835 were bought for Samsung Galaxy S8.

Other handset manufacturers rescheduled the release of the new flagships in 2017 to a later date. In particular, Xiaomi will show its Mi6 certainly not before the second half of March. And it sometimes even in April. But initially, it threatened to do so at the beginning of February!

However, it believed that the specifications of LG G6 have not much affected by the use of last year’s chipset. All of the published performance benchmarks Snapdragon 835 showed zero growth in single-processor mode. And it very weak growth – in a multiprocessor.

These advantages of the new chipset as support for 4G LTE Category 16 networks with data download speeds of up to 1 Gigabit per second. It while the vast majority of people are absolutely not relevant due to the lack of appropriate equipment in telecom operators.

The rest of the specifications LG G6 at the advanced level: a large screen with a non-standard resolution QHD + (Full Vision). Also, it fills almost the entire front panel of the smartphone. So, it has high-quality DAC Hi-Fi Quad DAC (have to slide from the presentation), dual main camera zoom, etc.

LG G6 RELEASE DATE:

Presentation of the new LG flagship will be held on February 26. It ( “zero days”) at the international exhibition MWC 2016 in Barcelona.

Qualcomm Snapdragon 830 MSM8998 processor – what is this “beast” is?

Qualcomm Snapdragon 830 MSM8998 – is the next generation mobile processor from Qualcomm’s, which is to replace the current, the manufacturer promises to double the growth of productivity. The announcement will take place in the fourth quarter of 2016.

Generally correct to speak not about the processor and chipset for mobile or «System-on-a-Chip» – SoC (literally “system on a chip”), that is, the final decision to create a smartphone on a single chip. In one crystal has its own processor, the graphics core, signal processor, a modem and a number of components.

CPU: QUALCOMM SNAPDRAGON 830 PERFORMANCE

At the moment, some of the characteristics of the future Snapdragon 830 are already known. In particular, Qualcomm will continue to develop their own computing cores. The new processor will be used four 64-bit cores Kryo 200 and a new Adreno 540 graphics accelerator.

Manufacturer, as mentioned in the beginning, the growth performance promises twice. Particular attention Qualcomm Snapdragon 830 to create a single-threaded computing pays. So far in this “discipline” were leading mobile processors from Apple, but this year the Snapdragon 820 has crept close to Apple A9.

Experience has shown that the majority of mobile applications optimized for bad direction to take advantage of multi-core processors, so Qualcomm forced to adapt to the situation.

Snapdragon 830 will be released on 10-nanometer FinFET process technology that promises additional benefits in reducing the heating and power optimization.

As mentioned above, the Snapdragon 830 will receive an updated graphics core Adreno 540. One of its interesting features is the support of two screens with a resolution of 4K. In addition to the exotic solutions like the new generation YotaPhone or smartphones-clamshell Samsung’s dual screen, it can be useful in modern multimedia systems, when one image is displayed on the screen of your smartphone, and another – on the TV screen.

The rest of the Adreno 540 promises a significant increase in the speed of the game and other applications that actively use 3D-graphics. There is also the ability to perform calculations using the GPU through the API OpenCL 2.0.

X16 LTE MODEM

Another “highlight» Snapdragon 830 will be the new built-in modem X16 LTE. As indicated in the press release of the company Qualcomm, it will work in 4G LTE Cat networks. 16 with the download speed of up to 1 Gigabit / s! It also supports aggregation of carriers (Carrier Aggregation) 4 × 20 MHz for faster boot process and 2 × 20 MHz for data transmission (at speeds up to 150 Mbps).

In general X16 LTE modem that is used to Qualcomm Snapdragon 830, works with virtually all modern mobile communications standards: LTE FDD, LTE TDD, WCDMA, TD-SCDMA, EV-DO, CDMA 1x, CDMA 2000 and GSM / EDGE.

Other features worth mentioning: LTE dual SIM (both SIM-card can work in networks 4G LTE), LTE Broadcast, native voice and HD-video in networks of LTE – HD and Ultra HD Voice over LTE (VoLTE).

MEMORY: SNAPDRAGON 830

Snapdragon 830 will support the new operating LPDDR4X memory channel 4. In fact, there is nothing particularly good already. The first mobile chipset, which can work with it, already released. It MediaTek Helio P20, which is used, in particular, the new flagship Meizu Pro 6.

However, the latter due to its relatively low total performance can not yet reveal LPDDR4X benefits. But Snapdragon 830 – able.

SMARTPHONES BASED ON QUALCOMM SNAPDRAGON 830

Among the first of the expected smartphones based on Snapdragon 830 worth mentioning, of course, Samsung Galaxy S8 (Presentation February 27, 2017), as well as the Microsoft Surface Phone. Also in the spring of next year expected Xiaomi Mi6, LG G6 and a number of flagship devices based on the new mobile chip from Qualcomm.

QUALCOMM SNAPDRAGON 830 PROCESSOR SPECS:

• Process technology: 10 nm FinFET
• CPU: 2 + 2 200 Kryo
• GPU: Adreno 540
• Display Support: 2x4K
• Modem: X16 LTE
• The aggregation of carriers: 4 x 20 MHz
• The speed of downloading data: up to 1 Gbps
• Data transfer rate up to 150 Mbps
• Quick charge: SMB1351 Qualcomm QuickCharge 3.0
