Hard time for Qualcomm; the heating matter now becomes hot news of the cell phone market. From starting to date, the Snapdragon 810 SoC has been shrouded in a lot of controversies.

The overheating of the chipset and serious performance issues, creating a deep impact on the market of Qualcomm. Problems are not even stopped here. It is extended even further with claims of troubles with the chip’s RAM controller, as well as possible bugs in the Adreno 430 GPU drivers.

The company does its level best to solve the problems, but it seems all in vain. The overheating issue strongly hit the sales of Snapdragon 810 SoC.

With the heat coming from the company’s biggest clients as well, Sony eagerly anticipated the issue. The latest Smartphone of Sony Xperia Z4 and Xperia Z3+ build with Snapdragon 810 SoC and one more thing the issue of heating first feel by the users of these 2 handsets also. These handsets supposedly run on a revision 2.1 of the Snapdragon 810, meaning that, at this point, the design seems so fatally flawed that it is beyond salvageable. On these two handsets, it looks like put up a coffin by the Snapdragon 810 SoC.

LG and Samsung, also not aside from this heating issue their respective flagships will most definitely be affected by the unfortunate circumstances. But Samsung, quite early on in the development cycle of the Galaxy S6 and S6 edge. Samsung appears to have a backup plan, as it could rely on its alternative Exynos SoC for the Galaxy S6, but that is far from a perfect and painless solution.

While these errors are most likely all fixable, they do sound serious enough to postpone mass production of the Snapdragon 810, so all consequent flagship launches in the first half of 2015 may need to use other types of chip-sets.

All in all, the Snapdragon 810’s market failure comes as no real surprise. On the other hand, the consequences it entails could dramatically reshape the mobile world for years to come. We’ll have to wait and see.
