Qualcomm collaborates with Samsung to launch BeiDou enhanced smartphones

SAN JOSE, USA: Qualcomm is collaborating with Samsung to launch the first wave of BeiDou enhanced consumer smartphones. This demonstrates the commitment of the companies to provide technology that delivers optimum performance for location-based services within China and globally.

Powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 processor (MSM8974), the Samsung GALAXY Note 3 (WCDMA 3G version SM-N9006 and TD-LTE 4G version SM-N9008V) uses the industry's first, integrated tri-band location platform to provide more accurate and responsive location data to mobile users. It does so by concurrently processing signals from multiple satellite networks.

Armed with this capability, users will have more enjoyable experiences using their location-based services, even in the most challenging of environments. By leveraging Qualcomm IZat location solutions, Samsung will be able to deliver an optimal user experience with quick and accurate location information and services in China.
