Samsung Teams Up with Qualcomm

This is a concrete example of a power couple. Two of the leading brands in their expertise come together to bring you monumental results. If you still remember rumors came out that  the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 would be mechanized by Qualcomm Snapdragon 805 SoC. And now ZDNet Korea is giving the idea of a validation and even more. It is also supposed that Samsung and Qualcomm are actually joining forces for a bigger project, Qualcomm having exclusive transactions with Samsung regarding chipsets.

This led another brand, most commonly known as LG, getting a little irate because of the selective favourable treatment.

We are all curious about updates with the Samsung Galaxy Note 4. It has been in the spotlight for a while now. Last time I checked, a benchmark test result leaked that Note 4 will be housing two processors, Exynos 5433 and Snapdragon 805. And now here in this news, only one remained.

It is still elusive why Samsung is getting into this deal when they are given ‘two digits per chip’ discount on the Snapdragon 805. That is about $10-$99. It is not a very sympathetic arrangement as according to IHS teardown report, Samsung got the Snapdragon 801 on the Galaxy S5 for $41 per chip. Samsung has not given a word yet, but it is most likely that the Galaxy Note 4 will feature the Snapdragon 805 since it is known to work remarkable performance with smartphones.

Interior Peek of the iPhone 6: Touch ID Sensor

We are slowly completing the picture of the upcoming iPhone 6. Supposed information and pictures flooded the Internet in the past weeks. If you are a little behind the news, let me do a thoughtful recap for you:

• It is predicted to be released September of this year.


• It is rumored to be bigger than its predecessors.


• Relocation of the sleep/wake button from the top to the side, which is complementary since iPhone 6 is expected to be bigger.


• An illuminated Apple logo at the back of iPhone 6.


• iPhone 6 will use Quantum dots (QD) technology for a more awesome display.


• Apple will use Sapphire display for this one.


• The talk of the town handset will be made with Liquidmetal.


• An amazing curved display for iPhone 6!


• Apple is launching an iPhone with improved battery and supports wireless charging.


• It features a 10-mega-pixel camera with f/1.8 aperture and a better filter.

All these details are enough to make iPhone 6 the hottest handset in the industry notwithstanding the lack of confirmation from its manufacturer. So, have you finalized on your mind or at least almost envisioned what the 9^th iPhone would be like? We have already been fed plenty of details of its supposed appearance, features, even its release date! Now it is time to dig into its core.

Here are leaked images of the iPhone 6 Touch ID Sensor. Sourced from ASCII.jp.

We cannot confirm the certainty of this yet as it looks almost the same as with the Touch ID sensor in iPhone 5s with very minimal difference in the connector cable. All the same, it is evident the effort of Apple to come up with a faster and more accurate sensor. ‘Til another rumor comes out. I will keep you posted!
