Runs Android 6.
Qualcomm has shown us the reference devices for the new Snapdragon 820 and the tablet and phone was rather snappy as it ran Android 6.0.
Qualcomm's reference design phone was a 6 inch phablet with high resolution screen. Fudzilla saw the test device had the latest version of Android, Marshmallow and it did not run hot. We could not get the exact specification of the device but it looked like the screen as at least 2560x1440 – definitely higher than 1080p.
The phone worked really snappy during all demos and our short time with the user interface. The same thing can be said for the tablet reference design. The 10 inch tablet has 3840x2160 or 4K screen in 10 inch format, it also had a removable battery. All phone demos were quite snappy and stable, and they worked as designed.
The device worked well during the demo or the Unreal 4 engine and and also rendered 4K video capture demos.
The time to market of the actual devices will depend from Qualcomm partners but it will not be long. Early 2016 sounds like a good time and there should be some major announcements in Q1
2016 just in time for Mobile World Congress 2016 in late February.
