Qualcomm Incorporated
QCOM
today announced that its wholly-owned subsidiary, Qualcomm Technologies, Inc.,
will power Google's newest Android smartphone, the Nexus 5 with its Qualcomm
Snapdragon™ 800 processor. Available today, the Nexus 5 is the first
smartphone to be released with global LTE support and Android 4.4 (KitKat).
The Nexus 5 also utilizes the Qualcomm QFE1100 feature, an important component
of the upcoming Qualcomm RF360™ Front End, a comprehensive, system-level
solution that allows OEMs to develop a single, global 4G LTE design. The
QFE1100 feature is the world's first envelope tracking (ET) technology for
3G/4G LTE devices and offers significant performance improvements, including
reduced heat by up to 30[1] percent and decreased power consumption by up to
20[2] percent, enabling thinner form factors with longer battery life.
Designed to deliver an outstanding overall user experience, Snapdragon 800
processors enable many of the superior technologies in the Nexus 5, including
stunning performance, rich graphics and outstanding battery efficiency.
Enabled by Snapdragon processor imaging, the device also will include new
Android Camera HAL (Hardware Abstraction Layer) capabilities, which utilizes
Qualcomm Technologies' integrated Image Signal Processor and color science
algorithms to enable all-new imaging experiences with burst-mode computational
photography.
"Qualcomm Technologies is proud to be selected once again to be at the heart
of the latest Nexus device," said Murthy Renduchintala, executive vice
president, Qualcomm Technologies, Inc., and co-president, QCT. "The latest
version of the Android operating system, paired with our top-of-the-line
mobile processor, will yield unprecedented mobile experiences with superior
LTE connectivity, graphics, and fast performance."
