Qualcomm on Wednesday announced the addition of two new Snapdragon S4 mobile processors: the MSM8225Q and MSM8625Q. Both are members of the Snapdragon S4 Play processor family and are optimized specifically for mid-range and entry-level smartphones.
The new Snapdragon S4 Play processors offer OEMs both dual-core and quad-core CPUs at a discounted rate, possibly making handsets cheaper overall. Both chips will be ready for customer sampling by the end of this year.
With lower-end smartphones being taken to the next level, seeing a high-end chip for lower-end smartphones is great news. An S4 in any handset will likely make it an HD powerhouse with amazing battery life.
In terms of features, bot CPUs support 720p displays and video encoding and decoding. Both also have Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.0 and FM connectivity using the Qualcomm Atheros AR6005 and WCN2243 chips. They are really top of the class in almost every way.
All in all, it's nice to see Qualcomm getting serious about the low-end. It has the high-end sewed up and soon it will seemingly have the low-end. We here at KYC can't wait to see what else Qualcomm might have up its sleeves.
Both of Qualcomm's new S4 Play processors are expected to ship in commercial devices in the first quarter of 2013.
