Dual-Core Qualcomm Chips To Be Released Soon?

by

Qualcomm issued a press release a little while back stating that they have completed reference designs for a  dual-core mobile chip.  Today, Alienbabeltech seems to have found the results for a GLBenchmark 1.1 test done on a mysterious HTC device.  The device is called the HTC Glacier but has no image.  They compared the bench results to the iPhone 4, HTC Evo and the Samsung Vibrant, Moto Droid X, and the T-Mobile G1, with interesting results.  Both Snapdragon models, the Evo and the Droid X were crushed by the mysterious newcomer.  Alienbabletech suspects this means that the Glacier must be loaded with one of these new chips, in particular, the dual-core chip.  Does this mean we can expect dual-core chips in future Android and Windows Phone offerings?  Read on for a closer look at the facts.

by

Looks like HTC is tired of waiting for Samsung to deliver those AMOLED screens, and is officially switching to Super LCD (SLCD).  It was previously believed that HTC would be augmenting its AMOLED screens with Sony’s SLCDs, but it seems that they will be making a solid switch to SLCD on at least two devices, the Desire and the Nexus One.  Only time will tell if SCLD screens will bleed over to other devices and/or continue to be used in upcoming devices.
