Com a invasão dos Smartphones top de linha com processadores Snapdragon de 1GHz, é muito difícil ver consumidores felizes com menos poder de processamento, e para deixar a briga ainda mais interessante a Qualcomm está oferecendo uma versão dual-core de 1.2GHz aos fabricantes com suporte a encoding e decoding de vídeo 1080p, entre outros recursos.
Será que a Nokia vai resolver aderir ao Snapdragon em seus próximos lançamentos? Espero que sim!!!
