Qualcomm is doomed if they don't get 64 bit out the door and running without heat issues. If they can't make it this year, then they are in serious trouble

Maybe they should ask Apple to let them use their A8 or at least give them a license to make their own.

Hasn't Samsung always used their own SoCs on their S -series (except the US-editions, due to LTE bandwidths)?

Samsung must've wanted to reduce costs as it is already losing a lot of money.
This is just some cooked up reason to avoid Qualcomm's Snapdragon processors.

qualcomm needed the kick in the butt. seriously, these phones are just all the same thing these days, with the most incremental yearly updates on flagship phones with these "software updates" that supposedly "enhance" performance but really just cripple the phone which forces you to upgrade.

all these companies need a kick in the butt. i'm tired of megapixels and gigahertz and number of apps available and crippling OS updates. GIVE ME SOMETHING FRESH
