However, the  Snapdragon 810 chip will improve the experience of viewing that video,  as it will be able to power 4K displays on smartphones and tablets, and  will boost colors where appropriate to create a more true-to-life image.  During the demo, a rep captured a slow panning video of the New York  City skyline that was streamed from one of Qualcomm's experimental  smartphones to a 4K Sony Bravia television. The detail of the video was  clear and detailed enough to show intricate details like the etching on a  stone flower pot. However, the image on the television was a few shades  darker than the real scene. Next-Level 3D Gaming  <img src="http://media.bestofmicro.com/F/D/469705/gallery/Snapdragon810Gaming_w_600.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Nvidia's Shield tablet is  about to get some competition. The Qualcomm Adreno 430 GPU in the 810  processor offers 30 percent better performance while using 20 percent  less power than the previous generation Adreno 420. That means more  laptop-like graphics quality, as we saw in a demo of Skylander. Not only  did the game play smoothly on the Qualcomm tablet, but it also hummed  along nicely on an HDTV.   Computational Photography  <img src="http://media.bestofmicro.com/F/B/469703/gallery/Snapdragon810Camera_w_600.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />  The two-camera setup as seen on the HTC One M8 may  be a more common occurrence in the future. That's because the  Snapdragon 810 will have two image signal processors, enabling more of  the adjustable-focus-like features of the One M8. At the Qualcomm demo,  a smartphone with the 810 chip had both a regular and a telephoto lens,  which let us zoom in much closer on an object than we'd be able to do on  a traditional smartphone camera. In this case, a Peanuts comic strip  pasted on the side of a model train was a bit more legible than with a  smartphone lens relying only on digital zoom.  Better Audio   Audio on smartphones and tablets has improved over the years, but in  many cases, it's not going to be as good as the quality on your home  stereo. That could all change, as Snapdragon 810 will support Dolby's  Atmos technology, which means it can deliver up to 11.1 channels of  sound for a truly immersive experience. Watching a demo of  "Transformers: Age of Extinction," I could hear every crumpling car and  Autobot as they flew around the screen.   <img src="http://media.bestofmicro.com/F/C/469704/gallery/Snapdragon810Audio_w_600.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />  You'll be able to better record sound, too. The 810 is capable of  processing audio from multiple microphones, and then isolating sound  coming from a particular direction. Even better, the user can set  "listening zones," telling the device to only record noise from a  particular area. Qualcomm demonstrated this by having a group of  carolers sing in one corner of a room, while a loud conversation was  being held in another corner. As the carolers were being recorded on a  white-label 810 smartphone, we could tell the app to concentrate its  listening on the singers, the speakers, or both.   Beefed-Up Security  With more than 3 million smartphones stolen last year, better  security is essential. Recognizing that a software-based solution isn't  the most effective, the Snapdragon 810 will incorporate hardware-based  verification, so that a thief can't simply wipe your phone. Although it  already exists with third-party software, this technology will also let  users remotely lock their phones and protect their data.  802.11ad Wi-Fi  The Snapdragon 810 processor will feature Qualcomm's VIVE 802.11ad  Wi-Fi technology, which uses the 60-GHz band to wirelessly transfer data  at speeds of up to 4 Gbps. While you probably won't see it in your home  router anytime soon, this technology can let you set up a direct  wireless connection to, say, a TV with an 802.11ad dongle, so you can  stream your 4K video right from your phone or tablet.  Outlook  Next year can't come fast enough. We're very interested to see what  devices will use the Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 -- the early money is on  the Samsung Galaxy S6 --  but it wouldn't be a shocker to see it in all the major flagship  smartphones and tablets. Stay tuned, as we'll get a better look at the  810 CPU at CES 2015.</blockquote>
