HONG KONG, Oct. 16, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Qualcomm
Incorporated (NASDAQ:QCOM) announced that its subsidiary, Qualcomm
Technologies, Inc., has introduced a new mobile platform, the
Qualcomm® Snapdragon™ 636, designed to provide improvements to
device performance, enhanced gaming and display technology support
in comparison to the Snapdragon 630 Mobile Platform. The Snapdragon
636 continues to build out the strong portfolio in Qualcomm
Technologies' high performance tier of Snapdragon mobile platforms
serving users who demand high quality devices with top-level
features at a low price point.
The Snapdragon 636 features the Qualcomm® Kryo™ 260 CPU, which
delivers a 40 percent increase in device performance over the
Snapdragon 630. The Snapdragon 636 also comes with support for
modern ultra-wide FHD+ displays and Assertive Display, which
optimizes the visibility of the display in all lighting conditions.
Qualcomm® TruPalette™ and Qualcomm® EcoPix™ features are integrated
in the Adreno Visual Processing Subsystem to support superior
viewing experiences. Lastly, the integrated Qualcomm® Adreno™
509 GPU is designed to boost gaming and browsing performance by 10
percent as compared to the previous generation, supporting an
unprecedented gaming experience with lifelike visuals and efficient
rendering of advanced 3D graphics.
The Snapdragon 636 Mobile Platform uses a 14nm FinFet process
and is pin and software-compatible with the Snapdragon 660 and 630
Mobile Platforms, allowing original equipment manufacturers (OEMs)
already using these platforms to quickly and efficiently add
Snapdragon 636 to their device lineups. It features the advanced
and globally tested Snapdragon X12 LTE modem, with peak download
speeds of 600 Mbps that enables operators to provide blazing fast
download speeds to consumers; the 14-bit Qualcomm Spectra™ 160 ISP,
which supports capture of up to 24 megapixels with zero shutter lag
while supporting smooth zoom, fast autofocus and true-to-life
colors for outstanding image quality; and the Qualcomm Aqstic™
audio codec supports Hi-Fi audio on the go, with up to 192kHz/24bit
support and the ability to playback lossless audio files with low
distortion and high dynamic range.
"The introduction of the Snapdragon 636 Mobile Platform allows
OEMs to enjoy a smooth transition from the Snapdragon 660 and 630
Mobile Platforms while supporting the deployment of superior
functionality and performance to end users," said Kedar Kondap, vice president, product
management, Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. "Manufacturers can use the
same modem and camera architecture to enable fast and efficient
testing and calibration, cutting down on significant resources or
time normally required when developing products on brand new
platforms."
The Snapdragon 636 Mobile Platform is expected to ship to
customers in November 2017.
