Samsung may have dropped the Snapdragon 810 from its Galaxy S6 lineup, but plenty of other hardware makers are perfectly happy with it.
To remind fans and partners of that, Qualcomm today issued a press release confirming the chip’s adoption by more than 60 “premium tier mobile devices,” and containing heaps of praise from LG, Motorola, Microsoft, and others.

When it comes to smartphone displays, LG likes to be a step ahead of its rivals. It was one of the first to offer a 2K panel in last year’s flagship G3, and it may well be the first to deliver a 3K panel with a mind-blowing 600 pixels-per-inch with the upcoming G4.

Google has admitted for the first time that supply chain issues with the Nexus 6 meant it simply could not meet such strong demand for the device when it made its debut back in November.
CFO Patrick Pichette said that the handset had been “very well received,” but it’s not that Google’s forecast wasn’t ready for that.

Without naming any names, Qualcomm warned that its earnings for the current fiscal quarter will be lower than first expected after its new Snapdragon 810 processor was dropped by “a large customer.”
The announcement follows speculation surrounding Samsung’s decision not to use the chip in its upcoming Galaxy S6 due to a possible heat issue.

What is likely to be one of Huawei’s most exciting smartphones of the year has been leaked ahead of its official unveiling, and it’s a stunner. The P8 has a large 5.2-inch Full HD display, but it’s the super slim bezels around it that will draw you in.
