The time of super high-resolution displays has already come with pixel densities of over 440ppi on most high-end Smartphone’s today. However, as the technology advances we might soon see even sharper screens arrive. So, Qualcomm demonstrates one of its future technologies. The company reveals its Mirasol front-lit power efficient 5.1-inch 2560 x 1440 pixel screen with a density of the whopping 577dpi. The Mirasol technology differs a lot from the current crop of LCD/OLED displays. It actually reflects light that falls on it in a way that is close to what we see in nature. However, the display does not have the same vibrant colors as on modern displays. It is colorful and not black & white like most e-ink.  Also, it is nearly 6 times more power efficient.

Apart from sharpness, being close to the way we see things in nature and not tiring the eyes so much is of its huge benefits. However, Qualcomm is still a couple of years away from bringing it to mass market which is a bad news. But the company is already showing early prototypes of the screen in a smart watch and a handset.

The next version of Android operating system, Android 5.0 aka Key Lime Pie, appears to have been ready as the TechKiddy reported to have spotted the same on the Sony Mobile LT30i at the Nenamark Benchmark listing.
Benchmark hints that Sony LT30i running Android 5.0 was being tested recently and results were submitted. The major thing that confuse is the graphics chip - Adreno 220. The Sony Mobile LT30i is the model number for the Xperia T Smartphone - the James Bond Smartphone.
It seems that this Smartphone has the Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Plus MSM8260A mobile processor teamed up with Adreno 225 graphics chip. While the Sony LT30i listed in the benchmark listing has Adreno 220 graphics chip which has been utilized for the Snapdragon S3 family of mobile processors (APQ8060/MSM8260/MSM8660).This shows that the Android 5.0 Key Lime Pie will be go well together with the phones released in early 2011 and late 2010 - most importantly carrying that typical hardware such as S3 family of processors.
Certainly, this is just an estimate based on Google's Android Software update program that will support a Smartphone for 18 months after its availability in the market. It is expected to be declared by the mid of next year at the Google I/O Conference.

According to popular gadget teardown website – iFixit, “The recently released LG made Google Nexus 4 has a Qualcomm made 4G LTE modem chip inside.” Formally, the Nexus 4 phone supports HSPA+">HSPA+ only.
Device Specifications:
• Quad-core 1.5 GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 APQ8064 Krait mobile processor
• Adreno 320 graphics chip
• 2 GB RAM
• 3D graphics
• Android 4.2 Jelly Bean update
• 8 megapixel camera

While unveiling it, both Google and LG have not announced the LTE chip. While explaining  the absence of LTE in Nexus 4, senior vice president for mobile and digital content at Google, stated, "A lot of the networks that have deployed LTE haven't scaled completely yet. They're hybrid networks which mean the devices need both radios built into them. When we did the Galaxy Nexus with LTE we had to do just that, and it just wasn't a great user experience."
The iFixit Teardown of Nexus 4 disclosed Qualcomm WTR1605L Seven-Band 4G LTE Chip inside. This transformation has been surprising for many consumers as well as tech enthusiasts. At this time there is no way to use this 4G LTE modem and it would need more than a simple hack to enable using this chip.
As per Rubin, “Hybrid networks make use of both radios built on the motherboard to be used. For instance, if you have a 4G LTE Smartphone, the data connection will be active on 4G LTE while the voice calls would be active on 3G networks. That means the Smartphone would be actually using two different radio frequency bands for two specific purposes. Not to forget that it would consume more battery and also not offer decent real world experience”.
Till now Google has not disclosed any information on the presence of the radio or whether it will be made usable in the future.
