MC2 Post 1902 The Fight for the Next-Gen Chipset for Mobile Continues ...




New MIPS I6400 brings another 64-bit architecture


to Android





From:   http://www.androidauthority.com




Android currently supports three processor architectures: ARM, Intel and MIPS. ARM is currently the leader, but Intel and Imagination Technologies (who design the MIPS processors) are viable alternatives. The next big area where these three chip designers will fight for a slice of the mobile computing pie is 64-bit computing.

Google has announced that Android L will offer 64-bit support for all three processor architectures, including 64-bit MIPS. The I6400 also has lots of Android-specific optimizations including instructions that accelerate performance in several key areas related to Android like JIT compilation, Javascript, and web browsing. 


What that means is that OEMs will be able to build I6400 based smartphones or tablets that are optimized and fully compatible with Android.

Xiaomi Mi 4 review – a very solid offering



Xiaomi is one of the leading OEMs in its home country, but the Chinese company has been pushing for a wider global audience. After finding success in emerging markets in Asia, Xiaomi is now hoping to continue that run with its latest flagship offering, which, at least on paper, should give the current crop of high-end flagships a run for their money. Whether it manages to do so, and more, is what we find out as we take an in-depth look at the Xiaomi Mi 4!

MOTA SmartRing promises to offer mobile app 

alerts on your finger






The smartwatch or smartband is apparently old hat to a company called MOTA, which announced today an upcoming product called the MOTA SmartRing, which it says will provide mobile app notifications 
on a device that can fit on a finger.

The SmartRing can offer alerts for text messages, incoming calls, calendar alerts and more.


The SmartRing will have an Android and iPhone app that will link smartphones to the ring, so it will work with services such as Facebook and Twitter. 


The MOTA SmartRing is supposed to be released in North America sometime in the fourth quarter of 2014 but pricing has yet to be announced. 

MOTA will show off the SmartRing at 
this week's IFA event in Berlin.
