HTC M8 spec leak tips 5-inch 1080p display and Snapdragon 800 processor

1

The HTC One was the subject of frequent leaks. That handset was originally known as the HTC M7, and well, it is looking like the next-generation device is going down the same path. The handset has been dubbed the HTC M8 and going all the way back to mid-July we were hearing reports of how this is expected to be an HTC flagship device for 2014.

More recently some images have leaked, sadly though, they didn’t offer all that great of a look at the device. That isn’t totally unexpected in terms of image leaks, however these (as you can see above) were on the rougher side. Needless to say, they did provide an early look at the handset. We are now seeing some specs though, and they have come by way of the Chinese language CTechCN.

Only the basics have been mentioned so far and those include details on the display, processor and version of Android. The leak suggests a 5-inch 1080p display, Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 processor and Android 4.4 Kit Kat. There was also mention of an UltraPixel camera on the back, which put all together, is not a huge bump from the current model HTC One.

In comparison, the HTC One sports a 4.7-inch 1080p display along with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 600 processor. The HTC One has yet to get Kit Kat, but that will arrive in time. Otherwise, it appears as if the HTC M8 may have the same UltraPixel camera as the HTC One. The other interesting, and still unknown aspect here, comes with the image above.

If you look at the picture on the right side, there appears to be an extra opening. The bigger circle would likely be the camera lens, with the LED flash sitting next to it, but there is something else sitting just above. Time will tell what that ends up being, but for now, we are certain the speculation will begin and that more leaks will follow.

Nouvelle Nexus 7 : un processeur Snapdragon 600 à 1,5 GHz et non un S4 Pro !

Par Gabriel Manceau le 29 juillet 2013

[Article mis à jour le 29 juillet 2013]

Alors que la présentation officielle de la nouvelle Nexus 7 nous a tout dit sur la tablette, elle cacherait encore un secret concernant le processeur Qualcomm embarqué. Alors que la communication officielle de Google évoque un Snapdragon S4 Pro, en se penchant de plus près sur les composants, il en est autrement.

En effet, la nouvelle Nexus 7 serait officiellement équipée d’un processeur Snapdragon S4 Pro, tout comme le Nexus 4. Mais quand on regarde de plus près, la dernière version de la tablette a un SoC APQ8064–1AA avec quatre cœurs Krait 300 contre quatre Krait 200 pour le dernier téléphone Google. Même constat au niveau de la RAM avec la tablette qui embarque 2 Go de SDRAM 1600 MHz DDR3L contre de la RAM LPDDR2 sur le Nexus 4. Des différences notables qui laissent penser que la technologie utilisée est bien celle des derniers processeurs Qualcomm et non celle des versions 2012.

Le S4 Pro de la nouvelle Nexus 7 cache en fait un Snapdragon 600

Le Snapadragon 600 qui équipe le HTC One est officiellement cadencé à 1,7 GHz. Il équipe également certains Galaxy S4 avec une fréquence plus élevée de 1,9 GHz. Il semble que la fréquence ait été réduite à 1,5 GHz pour la nouvelle Nexus 7, d’où son appellation S4 Pro. Une particularité qui expliquerait les performances supérieures de cette nouvelle version si on la compare à d’autres produits de référence comme l’a fait AnandTech.

La nouvelle Nexus 7 sous 3DMark

On sait que Android 4.3 qui arrivera avec la tablette est très bien optimisé, mais cela ne pourrait expliquer qu’une partie des bonnes performances. À ceux qui s’inquiétaient de voir arriver la dernière Nexus 7 avec un processeur datant de 2012, vous voilà rassuré. Une chose est certaine, les performances seront au rendez-vous et vous pourrez effectuer absolument toutes les tâches que vous voulez avec votre tablette sans qu’elle montre un seul signe de faiblesse.

[Fin de mise à jour]

La nouvelle Nexus 7 a de fortes chances d’être présentée par Google dès le 15 mai prochain lors du Google I/O. La tablette pourrait relever le défi de faire mieux que la version actuelle en tous points, mais avec un tarif qui ne bouge pas. C’est une note de recherche qui révèle ses possibles caractéristiques techniques.

Les analystes semblent décidément en forme. En effet, l’un d’entre eux a annoncé hier le retard que prendrait le Motorola X Phone. Aujourd’hui c’est Ming-Chi Kua, un analyste de KGI Securities qui révèle les spécifications de la nouvelle Nexus 7. Selon ce document, on peut s’attendre à un très bon rapport qualité-prix, comme c’est le cas de l’actuelle tablette 7 pouces de Google. Les caractéristiques techniques attendues :

Écran : 7 pouces 1920 x 1200 pixels (WUXGA)Processeur : quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Pro (APQ8064)Appareil photo : 5 mégapixelsCamera frontale HDConnectivité : Wi-Fi, Bluetooth et NFCBatterie : 4000mAh avec chargeur sans fil QiOS : Android 4.3 Jelly Bean La nouvelle Nexus 7 à partir de 199 euros ?

Si ces informations au sujet de la nouvelle Nexus 7 sont exactes, on note de nombreuses améliorations, à commencer par un écran mieux défini, le même processeur que le Nexus 4 ou encore le Sony Xperia Z qui viendrait ainsi remplacer le Tegra 3 de la version actuelle. La recharge sans fil ainsi qu’Android 4.3 font également partie des nouveautés. Pour ce qui est du design, on parle d’un écran et d’un design plus fin, mais toujours d’un boitier en plastique ce qui n’est pas très étonnant si le prix de départ de cette tablette est bien de 199 dollars.

Les caractéristiques techniques de la nouvelle Nexus 7 ?

Selon l’analyste, Google vendrait la tablette à prix coutant, perdant même 5 à 10 dollars par tablettes. Aucune information en revanche sur la quantité de RAM ou la capacité de stockage, même si l’on parle de 16 Go pour 199 dollars, et certainement 249 pour une version 32 Go. Plus que quelques jours à patienter pour voir cette nouvelle tablette que Google pourrait sobrement appeler « nouvelle Nexus 7 ». Que pensez-vous de ces spécifications pour la seconde version de la 7 pouces de Google ?

Galaxy Note 2 : une version Snapdragon 600 actuellement en préparation ?

Par Jean-Louis Pétrod le 22 juillet 2013

Dans le même esprit que Galaxy S4 Snapdragon 800 qui devrait se voir annoncé en Europe début septembre, en même temps que le Galaxy Note 3, Samsung aurait également dans ses cartons une version Snapdragon 600 du Galaxy Note 2.

Bien qu’il ne s’agisse plus, à proprement parler d’un appareil haut de gamme, dans la mesure où ses caractéristiques techniques se basent sur les standards de l’année dernière, le fait de décliner le phablet avec un processeur plus puissant permettrait au constructeur d’augmenter la durée de vie du produit sur le marché tout en proposant au consommateur une alternative moins chère que le Galaxy Note 3.

Un Galaxy Note 2 Snapdragon 600 dans les tuyaux de Samsung.

Alors qu’il y a une dizaine de jours on pouvait apprendre que Samsung travaillait sur deux nouveaux appareils dont un Galaxy S4 HD 720p et un autre appareil doté d’un écran de 5,5 pouces et arborant la même résolution, il apparaît aujourd’hui que celui-ci ne serait autre qu’une version Snapdragon 600 du Galaxy Note 2 dont les premiers benchmarks qui viennent tout juste de faire surface révèlent un score de 26 901 points.

Bien que le nom du processeur ne soit explicitement mentionné nulle part, le fait qu’il soit cadencé à 1,9 Ghz et le score obtenu sur AnTuTu ne laissent que peu de doutes sur sa nature et nous confortent dans l’idée que Samsung aurait bel et bien l’intention de proposer un Galaxy Note 2 Snapdragon 600 qui viendrait se placer comme une solution milieu de gamme juste derrière le Galaxy Note 3.

Un score de 26 901 sur AnTuTu.

Un théorie qui, en tout cas, n’a rien de surprenant connaissant la politique actuelle de Samsung qui cherche constamment à augmenter sa part de marché en proposant de plus en plus de modèles milieu de gamme en entrée de gamme. Mais était-ce vraiment nécessaire cette fois-ci ?

U.S. Galaxy S4 model to be powered by Snapdragon 600 CPU

At yesterday's big Samsung Galaxy S4 announcement, the manufacturer revealed that multiple versions of the phone would be produced running differing CPUs, as was the case with last year's Galaxy S3. Certain markets, including the U.S., will get a 1.9GHz quad-core chip powering their S4, while other territories, including the UK and Europe, would get an octa-core Samsung Exynos 4 chip at 1.6GHz.

However, there was some confusion as to exactly which quad-core chip would be fitted in the quad-core Galaxy S4 -- Qualcomm's new Snapdragon 600, or the slightly older Snapdragon S4 Pro. Today a Qualcomm spokesperson has confirmed to us that the quad-core Galaxy S4 is indeed packing the faster Snapdragon 600 chip, so hopefully we can all avoid any more sleepless nights worrying about that one.

The U.S. variant Galaxy S4 joins the HTC One and LG Optimus G Pro, which will also ship with Qualcomm's latest chip. While the S4 Pro, found in devices like the LG Optimus G and Nexus 4 is certainly a capable chip, we'll always welcome a little more processing horsepower -- Qualcomm claims its new chip offers an up to 40 percent increase in performance over the S4 Pro.
