Io sarei curiosissimo di sapere se supporta l'encoding illimitato in formato HEVC 2160p60 con HDR e IOS, e se ciò sarà sfruttato da qualche produttore, dato che AFAIK nessun terminale dotato di Snapdragon 810, nonostante il supporto del SOC, consente di fare riprese nel nuovo standard...

L'820 è un chip molto complesso e potente, che sfrutta l'ultimo processo produttivo disponibile.
La capacità di decodificare flussi 2160/60p è certamente interessante, potrebbe in teoria essere montato sui lettori bluray ultrahd standalone, con costi accettabili.
