On Tuesday, Qualcomm announced the 400 and 600-tier processors that back advanced modem capabilities and features an increase in CPU and GPU performance.

“It has always been Qualcomm Technologies’ strategy to introduce industry-leading features first at the premium Snapdragon 800 tier design point, and then scale these features into our other Snapdragon products,” said Alex Katouzian, senior vice president of product management, Qualcomm Technologies. “A great example of this strategy is the use of dual camera for capturing high quality photos that now range across our portfolio, including our 400 series mobile solution.”
The new chipsets can increase network capacity by supporting X9 LTE, LTE Advanced Carrier Aggregation, 64-QAM and Enhanced Voice Services (EVS) codec on VoLTE calls.
