7 Features that Make 835 Snapdragon Android Phones More Sophisticated


Officially released its newest chipset Qualcomm, Snapdragon 835, at the International Consumer Electronics Show 2017 in Las Vegas, USA. This processor brings a number of new technologies are believed to make smartphones, mainly based on Android, the more tempting because of its sophistication.

Snapdragon chipset used in most Android-based smartphone. Meanwhile, the iPhone uses chipet series "A" developed by Apple. While the Windows Phone mobile phone number can be counted on the fingers.

Snapdragon 835 itself is made with 10 nanometer processing technology, making it able to accommodate more transistors and more power. Previous Snapdragon series, 821, made with 14 nanometer processing technology.

In addition to increased power, Qualcomm also embed various features of other things. At least, as KompasTekno summarized from Mashable, Wednesday (01/04/2017), there are seven new technologies that can be applied in mobile phone based on Android thanks to the Snapdragon 835.

Here, 7 technologies in question:

1. Virtual reality on mobile phones

Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 chipset which is by default already supports virtual reality (VR). US companies did mention that this chipset have the graphics processing capabilities 25 percent higher so that it can facilitate the presentation of VR content through mobile phones.

That is, phones that use this chipset will be able to present the VR content seamlessly and more convenient for users to view. In terms of manufacturers, the ability to open opportunities to integrate the device with other technologies, such as scanning systems eyes, head, and body movements.

In addition, the Snapdragon 835 is designed ready to be used to access Daydream, namely VR platform created by Google.

2. The camera phone is better

Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 is claimed to make the performance of the camera phone so much better. Because the chipset is capable of making autofocus in the camera phone work faster.

Then there are also features electronic image stabilization 3.0 can help reduce the shock when the shooting hand.

Snapdragon 835 also promises a better encoding to reduce the data size by more than 30 percent of its original size. This will be felt when users record videos or photos in high resolution, for example 4K.

3. The dual camera phone

Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 by default already supports the use of multiple cameras. This means that the phones that use this chipset could indirectly run dual cameras, without having to make specific modifications.

Manufacturers can simply select whether you want to use the Snapdragon 835 dual camera settings ala Huawei P9 (lens color photos and black-and-white) or follow the footsteps of the iPhone 7 Plus (wide-angle lens and optical zoom).

Thus with the support of the Snapdragon 835, the dual camera feature can be used more phones, and even become a new standard.

4. The battery is more durable

Snapdragon 835 is claimed to be consuming less power, thus making the cell phone battery can be used longer. At least, Qualcomm promises phones that use this chipset will be able to live 2.5 hours longer.

The power savings achieved by shrink the physical size Snapdragon chipset 835. As a result, the power needed to process many orders to be more frugal about 50 percent, compared to 810 from 2014 Snapdragon ago.

It is estimated that use Snapdragon 835 phones will be able to be used to call during the day, play music for more than 5 days, up to 4K video stream for more than 11 hours.

When you've run out of power, the battery can be charged quickly because the chipset is using technology Quick Charge 4.0. Qualcomm claims users can get the power capacity for 5 hours just to fill in for 5 minutes.

5. Iris scanners

Secure embedding Qualcomm technology Camera on Snapdragon 835. This is one aspect of the technology required to apply this security method using iris scanner or scanner iris in the eye.

Besides these chipsets also support the fingerprint scanner technology and voice print. This means that mobile phone manufacturers can install security devices that utilize a combination or one of the three technologies.

6. Internet connection faster

Snapdragon 835 equipped with a modem X16. This is a modem that could theoretically be used to access Gigabit 4G LTE, the latest interet network at speeds up to 1 Gbps.

4G LTE technology Gibabit itself has not been widely implemented. New Australia and several other countries are planning to implement it in 2017. It was only available at a certain point, it is not widely disseminated.

But the existence of this technology in the chipset Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 showed readiness to face the future. At least, phones that use the chipset will be able to access the Internet Gigabit 4G LTE when it is available later.


7. Video HDR

835 Snapdragon chipset equipped with support for video formats in high dynamic range (HDR). This is a format that makes video content can be displayed with a wider color coverage.

Things like color gradation detail, highlights and black color variations will be apparent in this format, and can be felt on a small mobile screen.

However it should be noted, for the HDR format requires a combination of software and hardware. This means that mobile phone manufacturers must make a screen capable of displaying these formats, not just embed a Snapdragon 835 chipset only.
