Samsung Galaxy S7 rumors are spreading that its Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 is still experiencing overheating issues.
Samsung Galaxy S7 is getting closer to being launched and become Samsung Electronics' next generation flagship device. However, the Korean based company has reportedly hit a roadblock, and it involves the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 having, yet again, the same overheating issues.
Snapdragon chip's latest and the most potent replication is experiencing exactly the same overheating problems. However, Samsung reportedly, is not going to drop Snapdragon 820 too quickly this time. The handset manufacturer is making some adjustments to the Qualcomm chip to obtain standard quality, Kit Guru reported.
Samsung is particularly modifying the chip's control program to keep it from emitting too much heat. However, if this does not fix the issue, the company's back up plan would be to install vents that radiate heat to avoid overheating.
Qualcomm, meanwhile, refuted the rumors regarding the Snapdragon 820's overheating issues. Slash Gear reported an official statement from the semiconductor company's spokesperson explaining that the negative information going around online are apparently false.
The statement says "The Snapdragon 820 improves on all IP blocks and is fabricated in the second generation of the 14nm process technology. It is meeting all of our specifications, but more importantly, it is satisfying the thermal and performance specifications from our OEMs."
Samsung faced the same dilemma last year with their Galaxy S6 smartphone, which they ultimately opted not to run with the Snapdragon 810 after discovering that the chip is having issues with overheating. Instead, Samsung used its own Exynos SoC for the current-gen flagship handset.
