Samsung has postponed plans for the development of Custom Graphics

Recently, Samsung is making great efforts to become a full-fledged manufacturer of chipsets. But this is impossible without a firm GPU. The Samsung understands this simple truth, and has long been working to develop its own graphics. Moreover, we were convinced that the company’s proprietary graphics processor will be announced later this year and will debut in the next-generation hardware platform Samsung Exynos. But it seems that this will not happen.


How long postponed the development of Custom graphics?


At the very least, that such a conclusion can be drawn from the fact that the Korean manufacturer has concluded a licensing agreement for the use of ARM graphics in the next 5 years. And considering how much money had to pay Samsung chip maker, the company would not have gone on this step if, in the foreseeable future could release its own graphics processor.


In other words, Samsung is hardly going to produce its own plan in the next 4-5 years. We still do not know what it was the related delay. But such a long time explicitly says that Samsung is not able to solve the problems. And it is possible that the graphics processor developed by the company proved to be less productive than expected in the Samsung.


The agreement with Samsung once again proves that the ARM is a reliable and promising partner and manufactured by ARM Mali graphics processors outperform graphics Adreno and PowerVR. On the other hand, Samsung is clearly not going to abandon plans to build of Custom graphics. But the determination of the Korean manufacturer explicitly says that the team has replenished Samsung engineers used to work on NVIDIA, AMD and Intel. Therefore, its own graphics processor Samsung is only a matter of time.

Nevertheless, as expected, the new product will be enclosed in an aluminum housing, which is much ennobling its design. It is hoped that the cost of a leader will meet his specifications.

At least, that is the message appeared on the official website of the Greek division of LG’s social network Facebook.


Important features of Android 5.1


The company did not explain what has caused such a strange decision. But the Koreans hardly dare to refuse to support LG G3. It is quite possible that the company plans to skip Android 5.1.1 Lollipop and immediately update the firmware LG G3 to the operating system Android M. The problem is that the way this update is unlikely to take place until next year. And the owners of the smartphone will prove truly angelic patience. It is hoped that in the near future LG will clarify the fate of his last year’s flagship.


Recall that the official announcement of Android M took place at the end of last month. The new operating system is characterized by a whole number of interesting features, including a completely new system of energy saving Doze, uses a motion sensor to determine the activity, payment service Android Pay, native support for fingerprint readers with the appropriate API for third-party and custom tabs Chrome, to run web-based applications .


Google has already begun to distribute Android M for developers, including the owners of some gadgets Nexus, including devices such as the Nexus 5, Nexus 9, Nexus 6 and Nexus Player. But the final release of the operating system will be held not earlier than 3 quarters of this year, and some of the major manufacturers such as HTC has already talked about their plans to release a corresponding update for some smartphones. In particular, Android M certainly gets smartphones HTC One M9 and HTC One M9 +.
