When it comes to the brand new Snapdragon 810 processor or chipset, it seems that there will be several candidates “fighting” it out among one another to carry the mantle of being the first handset that will sport such a processor. Chinese tech analyst Pan Jiutang claims that the Snapdragon 810 chipset might debut in either the Oppo Find 9, Xiaomi Mi5 or Vivo Xplay 5. Out of the three, it looks as though the Vivo Xplay 5 will have the highest chance to explode off the starting blocks before the rest of the market, especially when you take into consideration how the latter’s launch cycle works out compared to the rest of its peers.
Needless to say, you might get your 15 minutes of fame if you happen to be the first device to be released out of the lot, but that is not going to do you much good at all if the hardware happens to be gimped or performs under expectations. After all, it is only a matter of waiting for a slightly longer time if you happen to be fans of the other smartphone models.
It is said that Vivo could roll out the Xplay with Qualcomm’s extremely potent 64-bit Snapdragon 810 chip before the year is over, or perhaps even early next year – which means we could very well be looking at a Christmas 2014 roll out or to carry a new handset this coming New Year.
