In late November last year, Qualcomm introduced processor Snapdragon 805 , graphics system which allows to work with video resolution Ultra HD (3840 x 2160 pixels) without supernatural energy costs. It is assumed that one of the version of the smartphone Galaxy S5 by Samsung will get this processor, but the display resolution exceeds 2560 x 1440 pixels, while the 5.25-inch diagonal is quite a lot. In addition, Samsung already offers smartphone Galaxy Note 3-based on Snapdragon 800 processor with the ability to record video in Ultra HD.
Tim McDonough , looked forward to the emergence of demand for processors capable smartphones give opportunity to work with resolution video Ultra HD. The first devices based on Snapdragon 805, according to him, hit the market in half. This processor allows to shoot video with a resolution Ultra HD and play it with a stereoscopic sound.
When smartphones came on the market with a display resolution of 720p (1280 x 720 pixels), McDonough suggested that this should be sufficient, and further, the curve will not grow. He was wrong - 720p as limiting resolution displays lasted no more than nine months. " Qualcomm believe that Ultra HD (4K) will not be the limit for smartphones, and they will one day master the resolution 8K (7680 x 4320 pixels).
