Qualcomm has just released the next generation Mobile Development Platform smartphone and tablet. The devices are both powered the company's next generation processors and chipsets - the Snapdragon 810 and they definitely don't disappoint in the specs department. This new hardware platform packs a beastly 64-bit octa-core processor, Adreno 430 GPU and the Hexagon V56 DSP. The reference phone is equipped with a 6.2 QHD display with very similar pixel density to the one in the Nexus 6 - 490ppi, only slightly lower due to the extra size. Qualcomm also claims that this is the highest performance development platform to date and brings attention to the whopping 4GB of DDR4 RAM that is set to deliver superb multitasking. The smartphone is also adorned with 32 GB of onboard storage, 4-megapixel front-facing and 13-megapixel main camera, a large 3,020 mAh battery and various Qualcomm patented technology, like Quick Charge 2.0 and Qualcomm VIVE 2-stream 802.11ac with new multi-user MIMO. The reference tablet in question has a large 10.1" display with 3840x2160 pixel resolution and an equally beefed up battery at 7,560 mAh to power it, with the rest of the hardware pretty much the same. Don`t get too excited though, because unless you are a qualified developer, approved by Qualcomm, they will not likely be willing to sell you any of the devices for now, as they are very early access. And even then the price tags are a little hard to swallow at $799 for the phone and $999 for the tablet. Compared to Google`s current development hardware (Nexus 6 and Nexus 9) this price is more than a premium, but it is kind of justifiable for truly next generation technology. The rest of us are left to eagerly await a flagship device powered by the Snapdragon 810 to hit the market. Source 1 | Source 2 |...
