According to Qualcomm, the Snapdragon 805 is the “next generation mobile processor of the Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 tier”. It features the new Adreno 420 GPU which is capable of producing 40% more graphics processing power than its predecessor, it has Ultra HD support, 4K video capture and playback, and enhanced dual camera Image Signal Processors (ISPs). To top it off, it sports the Krait 450 quad-core CPU, the first mobile CPU to run at speeds of up to 2.5 GHz per core, plus superior memory bandwidth support of up to 25.6 GB/second.

The Snapdragon 805 processor is sampling now and is expected to be available in commercial devices by the first half of 2014.

Still not 64-bit but that UltraHD support, Adreno 420 and Krait 450 points to Godzilla-tier performance.

Kudos to Qualcomm, you probably just gave the people who bought the Z1, G2, Note 3 and S4 post-shopping regrets.

Mediatek, Intel and Huawei – try to catch up. We want more market competition!

E kahit naman hintayin mo yang smartphone using sd805, a few months after may lalabas ulit naman na bago… Oh well, bili naman tayo mg bili kahit minsan minimal lang ang improvement just for the sake of being ‘updated’, which sometimes i am guilty of. :x

Kaya mga kids, to get the most out of your hard earned cash, huwag upgrade ng upgrade taun-taon lol

Aminin na natin, nag-u upgrade lang ang mga Pinoy just to show-off that they ”can” not because they ”need to” out of necessity.

Hindi lang naman ‘just to show off’ ang dahilan ng upgrade.

Nandyan kasi yung ‘urge’ na ma-experience yung bagong technology. Gusto maramdaman kung anong magiging epek sa mga beloved apps nila.

Limbawa, naglalaro ka ng PvZ 2 sa dual core, nagkakaron ka ng urge na ma-try ito sa quad-core o kaya sa may hyper-threading na cpu para ma-feel kung may improvement.

Ang ‘urge’ na yan ang ginagamit ng mga developer/manufacturer kaya ganado sila laging i-take to the next level ang mga product nila.

Natural lang naman yun. Utos ng kalikasan ang umakyat nang umakyat. Kaya nga tayo naging tao di ba?

Sorry to say this, but people who buy smartphones and tablets for real gaming are a bunch of idiots.

If you really want to play a real “game” and experience “gaming” to its finest, there’s a game console and PC for that.

May point nga naman si @Real Gamer. Waste of money lang bumili ng Smartphone kung gagamitin mo lang para mag laro ng games.

A smartphone, at the end of the day, is meant to be a device that has the ability to serve your communication needs; not a device you’ll just play your games on.

Heto @RealGamer ang sinabi mo (which is sooo WRONG in soo many levels)

”Sorry to say this, but people who buy smartphones and tablets for real gaming are a bunch of idiots.”

1. Your experience might not necessarily reflect OUR experience

2. Smartphone gaming aren’t geared towards purists like YOU

Mahirap bang intindihin yung 2 valid points ko?
Horses for courses dude. I was once a hardcore gamer like you, but given the CONS of desktop gaming like electricity costs..I have learned to love Smartphone gaming overtime.

Oh and BTW, this is a Smartphone-related topic, Why the heck would you inject a PC-gaming related argument?

Walang basagan ng trip. Dun ka sa PC gaming forums huwag dito

Power SoC indeed but expect it to be power hungry too.
-for smartphones, 720p is enough as it needs less power from the GPU to drive it.
-as for the processor, dual core krait 200 or 300 will do the job.
-GPU, adreno 330 is an overkill, im ok with adreno 320

ideal phone: moto X, xperia sp, xperia zr

i believe S805 is better suited for large display to take advantage of its ability to drive 4k HD displays.

i think its better to get 4k HD TV first before owning a 2k/4k HD phone.

“Smartphone gaming AREN’T geared towards purists like YOU”

Did you mean:
“Smartphone gaming ISN’T geared towards purists like YOU”

Looks like someone has failed yesterday’s grammar quiz.

Real Gamer: don’t compare with your high PC game rig to smartphone it is very obvious that smartphone doesn’t win it.. compare it to a portable device like psp,nintendo,etc.

If other illnesses are being treated aside from diabetes, discuss the matter with your doctor.
You can even find testimonials from actual health professionals
that say this is really an amazing program. It is hard
because there is learning involved-but let me tell you, it is fun and
