So at last Windows OS based smartphones will also have dual core or quad core models. This became possible only after the recent launch of Windows Phone 8 OS by Microsoft this week. Windows Phone 8 will be able utilize more than one core on the CPU chip there supporting present generation dual core and quad core processors from snapdragon.
Now Qualcomm today officially declared that the upcoming Windows Phone 8 based smartphones from Samsung, Nokia, HTC and Huawei will be powered by their S4 chipset which feature dual ‘Krait’ cores. This is the same chipset which is used in Galaxy S3 also (US version only).
The graphics on this chipset will be handled by latest Adreno 225. Adreno 225 will be able to play DirectX based 3D games and also supports Full HD video capturing. Not only this, because of the S4 chipset Windows phone from now onwards will be able to use high resolution HD displays also which is not possible in Windows Phone 7.5.
Another important feature of this chipset that it supports 4G or LTE signal. It has a 4G or LTE modem built on to it which will enable smartphone to use LTE data service. But this will not be compatible with upcoming 4G service in India. This is because in US they use FD LTE technique for providing LTE service which is compatible with this chipset but here in India operators rely on TD LTE technoque for providing 4G service.
