NVIDIA announced the close cooperation with the Chinese company ZTE to produce smartphones based onNVIDIA Tegra 4 . New product should be on the market in the first half of this year, it will support LTE.
Single-chip system Tegra 4, recall, officially debuted in early January, but has nothing to boast NVIDIA: still not provided with any smartphone or tablet based on the new SoC. At the same time, competition from Qualcomm is doing much better: their Snapdragon platform 600, introduced almost simultaneously with the Tegra 4 is already used in flagship smartphone HTC and LG . Hopes that the attention will turn to the Tegra 4 Samsung, there is little: the Korean company prefers to use a single-chip flagship models of its own production, the models of secondary and primary level - platform Qualcomm. According to the latest rumors, even in the Galaxy S IV can be used Snapdragon 600. As for the other major Chinese company, Huawei, it is, like Samsung, is betting on the platform of its own production.
Of course, ZTE will not be the only company that has chosen a new mobile platform NVIDIA for a smartphone (or more?), In the end, his word is not said ASUS, Acer, Sony, and many other smaller companies rank. However, the current situation is a cause for concern.
Perhaps potential partners NVIDIA preferred competitive platform for the reason that in its composition was originally declared modem LTE, while the announcement of Tegra 4 with integrated baseband-processor for data transmission in networks LTE, took just three days ago . There is not superfluous to recall that the issue of SoC Tegra with integrated LTE modem was expected last year, but the end result it came just now.
Be that as it may, growing by leaps and bounds the mobile market is no less important for NVIDIA, than the PC market, so the company is clearly not limited to cooperation with ZTE. What other companies have chosen the Tegra 4 - will know soon, perhaps as early as next week, when the trade fair opens MWC 2013.
