Samsung to Use Qualcomm Snapdragon on some of their Galaxy S 4s

Samsung has finally revealed that they plan to use the Snapdragon 600 by Qualcomm on some of its Galaxy S 4 devices. Indeed, this chipset is going to be a standard on all flagship devices to be launched this year. Other devices that will use a similar chip are the LG Optimus G Pro and the HTC One.

The Snapdragon 600 features quad processors that clock in at 1.9 GHz and supports LTE connectivity. It will also provide 2 GB RAM, audio and video enhancements and the Adreno 320 GPU that is capable of processing 3D graphics easily.
