If nothing unexpected happens, ASUS will become the first company in the world to introduceQualcomm Snapdragon 835 processorThe manufacturer is also expected to unveil the first new machine using this processor specification at CES 2017 next year.
FromPreviously revealed newsIt seems that ASUS will launch at least the ZenFone AR, which supports augmented reality applications and Google Tango technology, and the second-generation ZenFone Zoom, which is expected to be equipped with a dual-lens design, at CES 2017 next year. Both of them may use Qualcomm's processors and technologies.
Judging from the ZenFone AR's product features, it is expected to be the first smartphone to introduce the Snapdragon 835 processor. The second-generation ZenFone Zoom is expected to be equipped with Qualcomm Clear Sight dual-lens technology, and a combination of wide-angle and telephoto lenses to provide a fast zoom application effect comparable to the iPhone 7 Plus' dual-lens camera.
Since the Snapdragon 835 processor not only emphasizes computing performance and low power consumption, but also enhances the effects of human-computer interface application technologies such as virtual reality and augmented reality, it is expected to attract more smartphone products to use it next year.
However, while ASUS may be the first smartphone manufacturer to introduce the Snapdragon 835 processor, it's still possible that other brands will be the first to launch commercially available models. This depends on when ASUS plans to launch the new phone next year. Otherwise, it may be like this year, when it first announced the introduction of the Snapdragon 3 processor in the Zenfone 821 Deluxe, but released it later than other brands.
