The new Snapdragon 820 has been discussed frequently over the past few days. After the big overheating issue that engrosses the previous Snapdragon 810 and took its cost on Qualcomm's survival in the phone industry, the company needs to make some major changes with its upcoming next generation chip snapdragon 820. A lot of roomers are floating about the Snapdragon 820 and its success, which has made the industry more curious to know more about the silicon chip.

The Snapdragon 820 was initially announced in March at the Mobile Congress trade show in Spain, but the company has not share too many information about it yet. The chip might be introduced again on 11th August in Los Angeles, but a China based analyst has already revealed what it is going to offer.

The processor is expected to be designed by using the 14nm FinFET technology, as like iPhone 6s processor. The central processing unit will have only four Hydra 64-bit CPUs.

The Snapdragon 820 will also able to support dual channel LPDDR4 memory with the speeds of more than 1688 Mhz. Front and back camera abilities have also been improved greatly. The new processor will able to support up to 28MP cameras with post-processing DSP and programmable preprocessing, which will offer manufacturers a high level of control on its devices.

Naturally, the improvements in multimedia have been manifest in the hardware as well. The new Snapdragon 820 chip will come fully equipped to handle 4K videos at 60fps with no distortion. Another amazing new update is a dedicated low powered sensor for controlling "emerging always on cases".


Yet it’s not much clear about which tablets or smartphones will be the first to put the Snapdragon 820 chip inside, but Qualcomm will have this chip ready at the end of this year, it means that the processor will be placed in new devices that come in stores in the first Quarter of 2016.
