When it comes to flagship smartphones these days, a lot of the specs are quite predictable, with many companies defaulting to the latest Snapdragon processor, anywhere between 4 and 6GB of RAM, a 1440p display and 32GB of storage. However, it looks like Turing Robotics wants to really break the mould with its future flagship, which boasts dual Snapdragon 830 processors, 12GB of DDR4 RAM, 1TB of storage and even an iMAX 6K camera.

The device is known as the Turing Phone Cadenza and judging by its proposed spec sheet, it is the most powerful smartphone ever. While Qualcomm hasn't officially launched the Snapdragon 830 just yet, the Cadenza promises to pack two of them whenever it launches.

If that wasn't enough, you will also find 12GB of DDR4 RAM (6GBx2), and two 256GB main storage devices, alongside two 256GB microSD cards, bringing the total storage to over 1TB.

A lot of smartphone makers like to make a big deal out of the camera but the Cadenza promises to out-do them all with a 60-megapixel quad rear camera with support for iMAX 6K resolution. If you happen to be into selfies, there will also be two 20 megapixel front facing cameras. You'll be able to view those pictures and videos on a 5.8-inch 1440p display.

This is all packed inside of a Graphene Oxide body, which also has room for four SIM cards and even three batteries to keep everything powered. It isn't an Android device, instead Turing has opted to use Swordfish OS, which doubles as a Deep Learning AI. Essentially, this is a pocket-sized super computer.

Given that some of the components used aren't available yet, the Cadenza doesn't have a release date, but Turing hopes to get it out sometime next year. Expect it to be very expensive.

KitGuru Says: It can be difficult to really get excited about the smartphone market these days, which makes something like this all the more interesting to see as it really pushes things forward, rather than being a predictable, iterative release. Still though, something like this is going to be out of reach, and perhaps not even all that useful for many regular consumers.

Qualcomm may use 10nm process for Snapdragon 830 https://www.kitguru.net/components/cpu/matthew-wilson/qualcomm-may-use-10nm-process-for-snapdragon-830/ https://www.kitguru.net/components/cpu/matthew-wilson/qualcomm-may-use-10nm-process-for-snapdragon-830/#comments Wed, 14 Oct 2015 20:00:37 +0000 http://www.kitguru.net/?p=271803 It looks like Qualcomm may be moving on to the 10nm manufacturing process for its future flagship system on chip, the Snapdragon 830.

It looks like Qualcomm may be moving on to the 10nm manufacturing process for its future flagship system on chip, the Snapdragon 830. Right now, most flagship devices are using the Snapdragon 810, which had a few issues. However, Qualcomm recently unveiled the Snapdragon 820, which aims to be in smartphones next year, following that, we will see the Snapdragon 830 some time in 2017, judging by how things are currently moving.

Rumours surrounding Qualcomm's future chip currently point towards the 10nm process being implemented. More advanced fabrication techniques will create the opportunity for better cooling and higher levels of energy efficiency, meaning more performance per watt. Qualcomm has been swiftly moving up the chain as far as its manufacturing process is concerned.

With the Snapdragon 810, Qualcomm used the 20nm process, while the upcoming Snapdragon 820 uses 14nm. Now keep in mind that any official information on the Snapdragon 830 is still way off, but going off of the current way things have been progressing, it wouldn't be much of a stretch to speculate that Qualcomm will push things further with 10nm for its 2017 flagship chip.

Right now, reports (via: Pocket Now) are also pointing out that the model number for the Snapdragon 830 will likely be the MSM8998, which seems to fit in with the company's current naming scheme.

KitGuru Says: The mobile industry is easily predictable these days. A lot of rumours floating around are largely built on educated guesses that happen to end up becoming fact. These rumours may well pan out, but we are still at least a year away from official confirmation on the Snapdragon 830, so take it all with a grain of salt.
