Samsung And HiSilicon Planning to Increase Sell Of Their Handset Solutions

Samsung Electronics and HiSilicon Technologies have pace up their handset solutions development, according to a source. This includes the development of 8-core, 64-bit and 4G LTE enabled chips. Both companies are looking to sell more of their chips to other vendors.

LG Electronics, Sony Mobile Communications and HTC currently cover up 90% of their demand for handset solutions from Qualcomm. Also, Xiaomi Technology, ZTE, TCL, Coolpad, Lenovo and other Chinese vendors purchase large order of their chipsets from MediaTek and Qualcomm.

Handset vendors, for controlling production risk and product differentiation, are on the look for more chipset supplying companies so they can have more options while placing their order. This look for competitive chips offers have made it clear that these companies are not against buying chips from HiSilicon and Samsung, according to sources.

Samsung has increased the production of its Exynos family products. We have seen this already with the expansion of 6- and 8-core processors and Exynos ModAp LTE modern chips. Also, Samsung has launched reference designs supporting Exynos CPUs as a way for competing with MediaTek’s and Qualcomm reference designs. The source indicates that Meizu, the Chinese Smartphone vendor, has approved Exynos CPUs to be used in its MX-series flagship modes.

Kirin 920 processors launched by HiSilicon supporting LTE Cat.6 technology is used by the Huawei (HiSilicon parent company) in its Honor 6 Smartphone. Huawei is expected to utilize the chip in its mid and high range Ascend series. It is also noted by the source that HiSilicon is looking to sell the chips to other vendors as well.

How LG G3 Will Look For US Carriers

The Android Phone LG G3 by LG Electronics has gained positive reviews since the time of its launch. Being the successor of G2 which was launched back in 2013, it contains many similar features along with better design.

It is reported that Sprint and T-Mobile have announced that they are on their way for launching LG G3 which we can expect to arrive in next few weeks. However, Verizon and AT&T have not released any information yet regarding the arrival of the Phone. Although we don’t know about the release date of these two carriers, we clearly know how LG G3 will look on all these carriers.

You might think the LG G3 variant will look same for all the carries but that is not the case with Verizon. While the rest of the variants are in same color with plain grayish look, Verizon comes with a fine black cover that makes it shine out among the four. So if you want LG G3 and you are on Verizon then you will be fine with a good looking phone but you might not be fine with the logos.

Verizon has put their logos on the phone in front and back. While Verizon has gone with all logos, Sprint variant doesn’t have any Sprint logo on it. You will find the Sprint apps in the phone but the lack of Sprint’s logo displays the carrier’s choice of not doing extensive marketing for them. AT&T and T-Mobile variants also come with their logos.

Since the launch of T-Mobile and Sprint variants is expected to be in coming weeks, we can assume that Verizon and AT&T variants will be launched soon after them.
