Qualcomm has partnered with Chinese chipmaker Allwinner to expand its Snapdragon processors to low cost Android tablets. Under this partnership, Allwinner will push Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 410 and 210 processors with integrated LTE into low-cost Android tablets distributed worldwide.
Allwinner mainly distributes Wi-Fi-only chips for tablets under US$200, and its LTE lineup will be filled up by Qualcomm Snapdragon chips. The Chinese fabless semiconductor company will help expedite commercial deployment of high-quality, cost-effective 4G LTE-enabled tablets featuring QTI’s Snapdragon 410 and 210 processors.
“By working with Allwinner, we will be helping manufacturers to further utilize our industry leading processing and connectivity technologies to deliver high-quality consumer devices at great value. Our relationship with Allwinner will continue to help expedite the development and deployment of Snapdragon-enabled 4G LTE connected devices.”
said Cristiano Amon, executive vice president, Qualcomm Technologies, Inc., and co-president, QCT.
Last week, it was reported that Qualcomm Snapragon 810-powered Project Tango smartphone is coming in Q3 2015.
