Sony presented at Mobile World Congress the first mobile already launched as an independent brand. The mobile, in general, liked it, but the truth is that when compared with the rest of the leading launches of the fair, it remains in quite modest positions. The key could be that Sony would be planning to launch his flagship in the month of June. The range of devices presented Sony at the Barcelona event he will run on 2.3 Android Gingerbread, the previous version of the operating system of Google. That detail does not like too much, although they have promised that they will release an update to Ice Cream Sandwich. However, it was also surprising that he came accompanied by a chip Qualcomm S3, which is also starting to get outdated. All, not to mention that a device two cores it won't be able to compete with mega quad-core smartphones.
Therefore, according to a rumor, Sony could be planning to jump on the bandwagon of super machines and launch a device that incorporates the latest version of the processor in June Qualcomm, S4. This would be very important for a number of reasons. For starters, it would carry compatibility with the technology of LTE connectivity. But in addition, it would have a much higher graphic power, with 3D functions and a higher process speed, up to 400 MHz. Being built with technology from 28 nmIn other words, with smaller tools, the size of the chip has also been reduced, thus generating less heat and being able to better exploit its capabilities.
However, there is still a more important reason, the chip Qualcomm S4 can be used to create a model of quad core mobile, something that is not possible with the S3. Did Sony reserve an ace up its sleeve during the Mobile World Congress?
