Every Windows Phone 8 device that has been announced so far is using the Snapdragon S4 processor from Qualcomm. The S4 has been powering top of the line Android phones for some time now, so we are happy to see it in WP8. Nokia has listed some of the benefits of this next-gen processor on their website, and we like what we see.
- Lower Power Consumption
- Better Performance
- Fast 4G Connectivity
- Higher Definition
- Better Security
- Cooler Camera
- Faster Location Services
Some people may argue that the Tegra 3 processor is a better chip, but a lot of tests done by Android enthusiasts show that the dual-core S4 can hold it’s ground against the quad-core Tegra 3. With a smooth OS like Windows Phone, and a powerful processor these phones are sure to fly.
