Ultra High Definition is all the rage at this year’s CES 2013 exhibition taking place in Las Vegas with technology giants unveiling the future of television as well as video recording. The new HD standard is recorded at a resolution four times higher than the current standard allowing for unbelievable picture quality and detail.
CES 2013 saw the unveiling of new television sets providing full Ultra HD at 84-inch and 110-inch sizes which received huge traction amongst visitors to the event. Television though is not the only product moving towards Ultra HD in the future.
Smartphones have over the years received huge upgrades in their screens with many of today’s devices sporting bigger and sharper displays than ever before. Soon they will also be able to record and playback videos at Ultra HD resolutions as well according to Qualcomm.
The American chip manufacturer at CES 2013 unveiled its latest line of smartphone processors that are powerful enough to allow the devices to record as well as playback Ultra HD videos. Qualcomm’s newest Snapdragon 800 processor has 75% more processing power than the previous flagship processor of the company making it capable of delivering Ultra HD.
Qualcomm also claims the new processor consumes the same amount of power as its previous models helping to keep battery life equal while delivering more features. Technically the Snapdragon 800’s maximum resolution is slightly lower than the full Ultra HD resolution but it is way higher than regular HD. This means that smartphones running on the processor will playback Ultra HD videos but will not display the complete detail.
The American processing giant is currently sending out samples of the chips to manufacturers and will start full shipping in a few months so that devices running on the processor hit store shelves as early as the summer of 2013. Expect the latest premium smartphones and tablets to sport the new processor providing consumers with a richer video recording and playback experience on their smartphones.
