#stramobile up snap

Following up on HTC's Ultrapixel technology, Starmobile has introduced their own version with an 8-megapixel Ultrapixel camera on the UP Snap. Starmobile has not indicated the suggested retail price of the UP Snap. Qualcomm is going in for the kill as the company announced two new powerful additions to their 64-bit mobile chip lineup, namely the octa-core Snapdragon 810 and hexa-core Snapdragon 808. Of the two, the Snapdragon 810 sports the better feature set consisting of four Cortex-A53 processors which handles the mundane tasks and another set of Cortex-A57 chips which takes care of the resource-heavy apps. Speaking of performance, the Snapdragon 810 will also benefit from the new Adreno 430 GPU which, according to Qualcomm, is 30% faster than Adreno 420 or around 80% faster than Adreno 330, the GPU we often see on flagship devices. Despite of being the modest between the two new chipsets, the Snapdragon 808 is by no means a push-over. The Snapdragon 808 inherits some of the qualities of its more powerful counterpart such as LTE Category 6/7 modem and support for MIMO which brings improved wireless transfer rate over Wi-Fi. According to Qualcomm, consumers can expect these new Snapdragon SoCs to start making their way in to various flagship devices starting the first half of 2015.
