Apple and Samsung will always be rivals no matter what the situation. Apparently, the production of the next generation iPhone 7nm chipset is going to launch later this year. Keep reading for more details!

Apple to go against Samsung with new 7nm chipset

According to Bloomberg report, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company – a partner of Apple – has already started production of the next generation iPhone chipset. This news directly confirmed previous reports from July 2017 that Apple would use the company for its new 7nm processor. The figure refers to the half-measurement of nodes in a chip, so a smaller number equals a denser chip. This could also mean more computing power and reduced energy consumption, which is crucial for any mobile devices.

In addition, this next generation chip could help Apple devices perform faster and operate longer between charges. This gives the company an advantage in a competitive market that has experienced dormant demand for new handsets. A lack of new hardware design modification, along with longer replacement rates and diminishing carrier support, have been blamed for the cooling. On a side note, Apple has managed to grow its global market share in the first quarter of 2018; despite a decline in shipments worldwide. However, Apple is not alone in this battle.

Samsung is now also the main competitor in this race; after news emerged in April that the company is preparing to start manufacturing the 7nm Snapdragon 855. This chip supposes to use 35% less power than current chips; while offering speed boosts of 40% and support 5G mobile connectivity. The upcoming Samsung Galaxy S10 might be the first device to run on this processor. On the other hand, Apple is set to take the stage at the Worldwide Developers Conference on June 4, where it will provide more details about this and the next software updates for iPhone, iPad, Mac, and other devices.

Apple or Samsung – Who would win this 7nm chipset battle?

Whether the winner is Apple or Samsung, it would still an interesting battle to learn and observe. It could chart the course for how a smartphone in 2019 will use all this extra computing power.

Brace yourself! Qualcomm has released a brand new Snapdragon 710 chip that is undoubtedly stronger than the 660 version, but still a bit less powerful than the famous 845 processor. Keep reading for more details!

Qualcomm Announces Snapdragon 710 Platform

Recently, Qualcomm has just unveiled the Snapdragon 710 chip, the first entry in its 700 mobile platform series. The company is holding to the same promises with the 710 that it first promoted when it announced the line in February. That includes double the AI performance compared to the previous Snapdragon 660. Also, Qualcomm says it should offer improvements in a variety of applications from voice-based user interfaces to photography.

Snapdragon 710 smartphones will also be the first Qualcomm platforms to support 4K resolution. Under the hood, the chip is built on a 10nm architecture. With that, Qualcomm promises an overall 20% performance boost more than the Snapdragon 660 version; along with a huge reduction of power consumption while playing games or watching videos on smartphones.

In the end, we have an interesting mix of features: some improvements on the 600 series, some trickled down from the 800 line. To this point, it’s safe to say that this chip is more powerful than the existing midrange options have offered until now. In our opinion, this 710 processor is more of an international gamble for Qualcomm. It is specifically targeting at midrange Android phones from companies like Xiaomi and Vivo; as opposed to the US market where expensive flagships are pretty much the only dictator in the area. From that perspective, offering more powerful upgrades to lower-budget Android phones at a cheaper price range could achieve success in a way that the candidates like Galaxy S9 or Google Pixel 2 haven’t.

Snapdragon 710 release date

Users don’t have to wait for long. Qualcomm has announced that the first phones equipped with the Snapdragon 710 chipset should be out sometime in the second quarter of 2018.

According to his words, the Lenovo Z5 battery life is unlike anything we’ve seen before. The CEO says it can last up to 45 days of standby, which sounds out of the ordinary by today’s standards. There’s no information about the amount of “mAh” capacity itself, but we can assume it’s going to be a huge one. Still, in order to achieve 45 days of standby on a single charge, there must be some new software optimization under the development.

Now let’s move on to the Lenovo Z5 specs speculation! This phone sports thin bezels on the sides and a metal unibody design. Besides, speaking of the display, the Z5 might include a 6-inch screen with a resolution of 1080 x 2280 pixels.

Coming to the optics, the Lenovo Z5 camera is going to pack a dual 13MP + 5MP snapper on the back. Besides that, the selfie shooter bears a 13MP lens.
