The Snapdragon system-on-chip integrates the modem and applications processor into a single chip and is thus dramatically more efficient - both in terms of space and power requirements - than the competition and makes the processor choice for most phone makers a foregone conclusion. HTC calls its chip supplier an "extremely important partner," while LG echoes Motorola’s language in saying that it has "a great partnership with Qualcomm and both companies respect one another tremendously." LG goes on to add that "at one time there were other players in this space, but Qualcomm’s innovation is what put them at the top of the industry." The central innovation responsible for Qualcomm’s present dominance are those LTE modems that even Apple can’t get away from. It’s impossible to find a smartphone manufacturer that doesn’t speak of Qualcomm in glowing terms. "AT ONE TIME THERE WERE OTHER PLAYERS IN THIS SPACE, BUT QUALCOMM’S INNOVATION IS WHAT PUT THEM AT THE TOP OF THE INDUSTRY."

In an interview with The Verge () this summer, Moto’s software chief (and former Android engineer) Steve Horowitz explained that "great partnerships" like that with the Snapdragon processor maker are the secret to Motorola’s rapid software upgrades.
#GFXBENCH GL ACCESS TO FILES DENIED UPDATE#
Motorola managed to update the Moto X to Android 4.4 ahead of some Nexus devices last year, and Qualcomm was once again credited with contributing to that alacrity. Calum MacDougall, Sony’s Head of Xperia Marketing, admits that "principally it is the processor" that's responsible for this improved power efficiency and endurance. The current benchmark for smartphone battery life is set by Sony’s Xperia Z3 and Z3 Compact handsets, both running a Snapdragon 801. HTC's Sensor Hub that enables Motion Launch gestures and the Dot View case for the One smartphone wouldn’t be possible without the Snapdragon sensor engine ().

#GFXBENCH GL ACCESS TO FILES DENIED DRIVERS#
We think of Google and Apple as the primary drivers of mobile innovation, but Qualcomm is just as instrumental in setting the pace of change. Snapdragon is also the default choice for BlackBerry, whose latest Passport device uses a 2.2GHz Snapdragon 801
#GFXBENCH GL ACCESS TO FILES DENIED HOW TO#
Outside the Android realm, Windows Phone is exclusively reliant on Snapdragon processors, to the point where Microsoft directs potential phone manufacturers to the Qualcomm Reference Design () as a guide on how to build their handsets. The LG G2 and G3, the Sony Xperia Z1, Z2, and Z3, the Nexus 5 and 6, the HTC One of both 20, and every Samsung Galaxy variant to reach the United States are all built around a multi-core Qualcomm heart. Like every other non-iPhone flagship device released in the last two years, it uses Qualcomm’s latest processor. Rich Brome Octo()The other "turbo" aspect of the Droid Turbo’s spec sheet is the 2.7GHz Snapdragon 805 system-on-chip that powers it. I love how every manufacturer talks up Qualcomm's QuickCharge like they invented it themselves. All that branding and marketing is just putting different stickers on the same thing: Qualcomm’sQuick Charge 2.0 (). Samsung also touts a "0 to 50 in 30" tagline for the Galaxy Note 4’s ability to recharge half its power in half an hour. The same accessory is bundled with the Nexus 6, another Moto product, and HTC has a competing Rapid Charger (). Stacked to the gills with the highest of specs, this new Android phone derives its name from Moto’s Turbo Charger (), which turns a 15-minute charge into as much as eight hours of battery life. But Qualcomm’s influence spreads much wider and deeper still.A week ago, Verizon introduced the Motorola Droid Turbo () as its flagship phone for the holidays. The same is true of Samsung, whose Exynos chip is replaced by a Qualcomm Snapdragon for the US and other markets. Even the fiercely independent Apple, which designs its own mobile processors, has no choice but to use Qualcomm’s LTE modems (). The company that was founded on the premise of building "Quality Communications" can now be found inside every major smartphone in the US.

Qualcomm is the mobile industry’s equivalent of a god: omnipotent and omnipresent, yet invisible to the naked eye. This is Qualcomm’s world and we’re all just living in it ()
