Amid the rumours refering that 2014 flagship smartphones to the Samsung Galaxy S5 and Samsung Galaxy Note 4, a new report claims that both the smartphones will be launched with 64-bit processors.
In addition to 64-bit processors, the phones are also expected to ship with WQHD (2,560 by 1,440 pixel resolution) displays. The report also mentioned a 16 megapixel camera.
On Wednesday, Samsung confirmed that it working on 64-bit processors for smartphones. Unlike most Android smartphone makers, the company makes its own chips. It also manufacturers the chips that power Apple’s iPhone 5S and iPhone 5C.
According to T3, Stephen Woo, president of Systems SI at Samsung electronics told CNET that the company is taking a “two-step approach” to developing 64-bit chips.
According to Woo, the firm is planning on developing a 64-bit chip based on designs from ARM. Once it has mastered that technology, it will design its own chip. It is believed it will be the latter chip that ends up in both of Samsung’s 2014 flagships smartphones.
“We are marching on schedule,” Woo said Wednesday. “We will offer the first 64-bit [processor] based on ARM’s own core. After that, we will offer an even more optimised 64-bit [processor] based on our own optimisations.”
Earlier reports have suggested that Samsung is developing a slimline 16 megapixel camera with built-in optical image stabilisation. The latest report fits in with those earlier claims.
Samsung and another display company Japan Display are expected to “begin volume production of WQHD displays soon”, claims Digitimes.
