Mobile World Congress 2014 is now underway and like always we can expect a ton of new Android phones and tablets to be announced during the event from just about every manufacturer that is out there. Qualcomm has announced a few new chips that they will be launching with one being an improved version of their 800 series while the other two announced chips are the new 64-bit quad-core Snapdragon 610 and the new octa-core Snapdragon 615 chip.
LG just held their press event moments ago where the much leaked LG G2 was officially announced. This is quite the beastly Android phone where LG has gone and switched out from using a Tegra chipset, which they used in their LG G2X, and have gone with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 chipset which makes this a quad-core phone running at 2.26GHz.
Even though the new Nexus 7 Android tablets were announced only a couple of days ago and are slated to hit Google Play for purchase on July 30th, 2013, if you happen to be the sort of person that doesn’t like waiting a few extra days to order yours then you might want to head on over to Amazon where the $229 WiFi model is already up there for sale.
As pretty much the entire Android community knows, this morning is Google’s breakfast press event where pretty much everyone knew Google was going to officially announce the new Nexus 7 Android tablet along with the new 4.3 version of Android. Most everything was already known about this refreshed tablet through a variety of leaks but there were some surprise features announced as well as confirmation of some specs that were not 100% known to be fact.
Qualcomm’s in-house game development studio called Snapdragon Game Studio has released a follow-up to their Reign of Amir game called Reign of Amir: The Lost Kingdom. As you are probably guessing, this follow-up title is also exclusive to Android devices with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 600 (or better) chipsets inside them.
GDC 2013 has just started and Qualcomm has announced that the company has teamed up with Unity, the makers of the Unity3D engine, in a development partnership which brings to the table better optimization for Qualcomm Snapdragon-based devices for developers when making their games using the Unity3D engine.
For those of you waiting to get your hands on Unigine’s naval strategy game Oil Rush 3D, your wait is finally over and it is now available on Google Play. However, before you go running off to Google Play to snatch up a copy for yourself, you need to know that the only devices supported right now are Android phones and tablets that come stuffed with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon S4 chipset.
We have reported on Unigine Corps’ upcoming naval strategy game Oil Rush a couple of times in the past. This promising looking game, both visually and gameplay-wise, now has a new trailer for Android gamers to drool over which shows off more of the game’s gameplay and pretty damn impressive visuals.
Interesting news coming from Qualcomm today where Qualcomm’s Snapdragon boss Raj Talluri came out to basically say there is no real point to nVidia’s Project Shield and that it is basically useless. Following that statement Raj Talluri went on to say that Qualcomm won’t be building anything to compete with Project Shield either and that there is no real need for a dedicated Android device for games.
Unfortunately we’ve been requested by Qualcomm to remove this post. They have also requested that we post the message below in its place instead. So here you go…
