Competition between Chip Manufacturer, Benefit for Customers
Qualcomm and MediaTek working on chipsets that will be opening the gates of the rise of Smartphone and tablets cheap with LTE capabilities, allowing people all over the world can enjoy high-speed data communications.

Monday Qualcomm announces Snapdragon 410, for a Smartphone that will be released by the middle of next year at a price below U.S. $ 150 without a contract. According to Alan Hadden Global mobile Supplier Association president, this announcement will have an enormous impact on the popularity of LTE.

Qualcomm is not the only manufacturer who intends to cut production costs LTE. MediaTek competitors have been ready to launch system-on - a- chip first with LTE. According to Johan Lodenius, the company is keen to avoid LTE actually circulated widely, so there must be a product at an affordable price.

According to Malik Saadi, an analyst firm Informa Telecom & market research Media, Smartphone such as the Motorola Moto G and Lumia 520 from Nokia offers pretty good performance and a low price, but does not have LTE support. Next year an opportunity for Qualcomm Snapdragon 410 to increase production and compete with products that has been announced.

Also according to Saadi, the new chipset will reduce the price difference between the WiFi only tablet and a tablet equipped with LTE connections. But this does not mean that users will switch on LTE tablet, because the model with 10 - inch screens is more widely used in the room where WiFi is available.
