Samsung working on Snapdragon 810-powered Galaxy Note 4 variant
The Samsung Galaxy Note 4 will be one of the first Samsung devices to get the Lollipop update and the revamped Touchwiz UI.
Samsung is reportedly working on a new version of the Galaxy Note 4 smartphone that will run on the Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 SoC. According to a report by SamMobile, this will be the third variant of the company’s flagship phablet. The Snapdragon 810 SoC is Qualcomm’s new 64-bit chipset, upgraded from the 805 that currently powers the Note 4.
Further, the Snapdragon 810 isn’t ready for mass production yet, but Samsung will apparently be able to start production of the new Note 4 if Qualcomm is ready by early next year. The device will initially be limited to South Korea, but may make its way into other markets eventually.
While SamMobile didn’t name its sources, the report makes a lot of sense since the Note 4 will be one of the first Samsung devices to get the Lollipop update as well. Google added 64-bit chipset support to Lollipop and Samsung has been known to be working on a revamped version of Touchwiz for the new OS. The South Korean giant has already announced the update for the Galaxy Note 4. The Snapdragon 810 has also been rumoured to be the SoC powering the Galaxy S6, which will be launched in 2015.
