From one of our many resources hidden deep within the “bush” we bring to you a spreadsheet with some handy info on it… All the specs, names and chipsets of the upcoming HTC releases.
WMPoweruser.com reported earlier on the leaked releases of these, but now we get to see some more names and specs. Its good to see the Thoth and Whitestone… And Seeing all the Windows Mobile 6.1 out there makes me think that they are coming out soon. I am very curious about the Star and SuperStar… And I am VERY intrigued by the NVIDIA AP16 chipset. It is also good to see all the WVGA screens coming out, but I’d like to see more storage/RAM and more speed out there like the Thoth! Stay tuned for some more great phones coming out!

While the Xperia ™ S has a Qualcomm processor S3, the Xperia ™ P ™ U Xperia and Xperia ™ single have a U8500 processor NovaThor ™ ST-Ericsson. The NovaThor ™ U8500 is the first to be compatible with OpenGL ES 2.0 and integrates a multi-core GPU that provides 2D and 3D acceleration with scalable performance up to 1080p resolution.
The NovaThor ™ U8500 is based on a dual core processor DB8500 ARM ® Cortex ™-A9 SoC (System on Chip) with a GPU ARM ® Mali ™ 400MP and an integrated modem HSPA + / 4G with support for 14 Mbps and the responsible for the audio chip, USB, power and functions of the SIM card.
The platform integrates NovaThor ™ U8500 single chip and a dual core processor at 1GHz, the first smartphone platform to integrate dual-core technology with symmetric multi-processing graphics accelerator with high performance 3D.
A platform to enable symmetric multi-processing (SMP) as the NovaThor ™ U8500, allows different processes on different processors divided according to certain performance requirements and energy. A great advantage of SMP for mobile applications is a more energy efficient, it will be really visible by the end user.
The multi-process NovaThor ™ U8500 processor uses lower voltages and allow users to perform many more tasks with a single battery charge. Instead of having a single processor at full capacity to execute a task, several processors can work at half speed, while controlling the temperature of the terminal.
So NovaThor ™ U8500 platform can provide the same performance as a single core CPU faster, but using much less energy.

Qualcomm has announced the latest additions to the Snapdragon processor line. These will be the Snapdragon 808 and 810, which Qualcomm is touting as being "The Ultimate Connected Computing." Similar to what we've seen from the Snapdragon 800 tier up until this point, the 808 an 810 will be for high-performance.
The highlights for the Snapdragon 808 and 810 include them being 64-bit enabled and with integrated Cat 6 LTE advanced. Some of the other points shared across both of these include support for the Qualcomm RF360 Front End solution, and support for 3x20MHz Carrier Aggregation, which enabled speeds up to 300Mbps. They are also both designed using the 20nm technology node.
But perhaps the best news for some -- Qualcomm is pushing how these have been "tightly integrated and optimized for exceptionally low power consumption that does not sacrifice performance." Sitting below are some highlights for each of these;
Snapdragon 808
Designed for WQXGA (2560 x 1600) displays
Setup with a pair of ARM Cortex-A57 cores and a quad Cortex A-53 CPU
Will include Adreno 418GPU with support for OpenGL ES 3.1hardware tessellation, geometry shaders, programmable blending
LPDDR3 memory
Frame buffer compression and external 4K display support using HDMI 1.4
12-bit dual Image Signal Processors
Snapdragon 810
Will combine 64-bit quad-core ARM Cortex-A57 CPUs and Cortex-A53 CPUs
Will use Adreno 430 GPU and have been designed for 4K displays
LPDDR4 memory
4K display support using HDMI1.4
Will be the first mobile platform to use Qualcomm VIVE 2-stream 802.11ac with multi-user MIMI (for WiFi efficiency)
Support for Bluetooth 4.1, USB 3.0, NFC and Qualcomm IZat (location core for improved accuracy on location services)
Qualcomm mentioned the Snapdragon 808 and 810 will "begin sampling in the second half of 2014." And then from that point, they are expected to arrive in devices "by the first half of 2015."
****.. the S5 I preordered is obsolete already...
AI is really the buzzword and it's actually a strong ability that Kirin 980 promotes. I noticed Kirin 980 will be used on View20 so what new AI based features will View20 have?
Really appreciate the application of AI ability in photography and the translation feature in Magic 2.
Really amazing but I'm still expecting something new.
I think it must be Link Turbo! Check this link, it talks about Link Turbo’s details.:
https://www.androidauthority.com/honor-view-20-933079/
I think that’s an amazing technology because you can use Wi-Fi and 4G signal together. For example, when you are playing a game and you also want to check your WhatsApp, the downloading speed will be decreased if the phone only uses Wi-Fi or 4G. So you will be offline and lose the game easily. But on view 20, it can use Wi-Fi to download gaming data and use 4G to chat simultaneously, which means both downloading speeds can be assured.
Samsung also did this on the Galaxy S5 with Download Booster before, but Honor’s new version, Link turbo, I think it has improved a lot after these years.
The news also mentions when one signal is bad, the smartphone seamlessly switches to the better alternative, allowing users to always stay online. That’s a perfect function for a gamer like me.
Regarding the relevance to Kirin 980, when I want to figure out how it works, I found the introduction of Kirin 980’s connectivity.
https://www.hihonor.com/global/kirin980/
“With the Hi1103, it supports a theoretical peak download speed of 1.7 Gbps and 160 MHz bandwidth.” To some extends, I think this helps the realization of Link Turbo, putting Wi-Fi and 4G together because Kirin 980 can support a higher download speed and this is the foundation for Link Turbo. The report I posted also said, “Link Turbo leverages AI and big data to analyze network conditions and figure out the best way to deliver an optimal result.”
So Link Turbo not only utilizes Kirin 980’s AI ability but also develops it. This indeed packs a punch over other smartphones, especially in connectivity.

This feature has been around for years, it has nothing to do with ai.
Honor/Huawei are designing their smartphones in such a way it stands out from other devices like the design, chip-set performance or the AI function. It is good to see that their phones have high spec and a reasonable pric tag.
MWC (Mobile World Congress) is the biggest mobile tradeshow of the year, and the next installment - MWC 2019 - has begun.
