Can this be the HTC Desire 820?

   

 

 

 

 

 

At first glance, it looks very much like the HTC Desire 816. Well, who knows? However, last month, HTC has partly introduced the Desire 820 on a Chinese network, Weibo. And a feature that was highlighted was the incorporation of Qualcomm’s latest Snapdragon 615 chipset.

Apparently, it is one of the first 64-bit chips made for Android devices, which is a very good selling point for any upcoming handsets. Apart from having the new Cortex-A53 varieties, four 1.8GHz and four 1.0GHz cores, the Snapdragon 615 chipset also boasts of the most recent generation Adreno 405 GPU.

You might be wondering now what else the HTC Desire 820 has in store for us. For a quick run-through of some of its most important features, high points and low points, the mobile phone is designed on a 5.5-inch size. However, as much as we are expecting prompt functions, its resolution fell a little short with only 720p screen resolution. To redeem its stature though, the HTC Desire 820 will be showing off an impressive tandem of a 13MP rear camera and 8MP front cam. We are also looking into a 2,600 mAh battery, 1.5GB RAM and 8GB of storage allowance.

The HTC Desire 820 might not even be officially announced yet, but another HTC device is on its way. The Desire 510 is said to be running on 64-bit processor as well; evidently handier than the Desire 820 with only 4.7-inch screen.

Stay tune for updates!

Allwinner set to launch its first 64-bit tablet processor soon

Chinese chipmaker Allwinner has announced that its first 64-bit tablet processor will be launched in the market by the end of this year. The company plans to provide affordable tablet processors to ODM/OEM companies and end users throughout the world.

Allwinner’s 64-bit tablet chipset will support 4K, H.265 video codec and a demo version of the chipset will be ready for the Hong Kong electronics fair to be held in October 2014.

Not many details of Allwinner’s 64-bit tablet processor are known other than the fact that it will be based on ARMv8-A architecture. The name for the new chipset has also not been revealed yet. A few months ago the company had unveiled UltraOcta A80 processor that uses ARM’s big.LITTLE multi-processing design having four high-end Cortex-A15 and four low-power Cortex-A7 cores.

JackLee, Chief Marketing Officer of Allwinner says,”The 64-bit era is absolutely the new trend. As one of the most important strategic partners of ARM, Allwinner will team with ARM to take the lead in providing highly cost-effective 64-bit tablet solutions.” The company has shifted from 32-bit to 64-bit technology and the ARMv8 based processors give better and more energy-efficient performance.

Although Allwinner is not known much in the western part of the world, it has a sizable share in the white-box tablet market in China. The company has been the top supplier of Android tablet chipsets both in 2012 and 2013. However, this year it is facing tough competition from Intel and MediaTek.
