Chip giant aims to bring advanced processing and rich media to mass market with new chip.
The MSM7227 solution will utilise HSDPA /HSUPA for broadband data speeds over 3G networks, and can support all mobile operating systems including Android, Symbian S60, Windows Mobile and BREW Mobile Platform.It features a 600 MHz applications processor, hardware-accelerated 3D graphics, integrated Bluetooth 2.1 and GPS , 8 megapixel camera and 30 fps WVGA video encode and decode and display support.
Qualcomm believes the migration of rich media services into the mainstream will be accelerated by the move. “We see a significant opportunity to bring the best features of today's Smartphones to the mass-market segment,” said Alex Katouzian, vice president of product management, Qualcomm CDMA Technologies.
“Our new MSM7227 chipset offers manufacturers an attractive blend of performance and price, software re-use from the prior MSM7xxx-series products, and support for the industry's leading mobile operating systems.”
The MSM7227 chipset is sampling now and commercial phones based on the chip are expected to launch later this year.
