nokia is the builder of N1 but this is microsoft.
and also 810 is the best availible you cant handel it dont use it.

Simply, because of partnership between those companies. But i'm not sure about future if sd820 still hot like Indian curry(sd810), may those companies still fateful to Qualcomm anymore, let wait until 2016.

SD810 make a bit more heat than supposed and dont achieve top top performance but still its do more than enuf ( nothing slow down and the phone UI is even more smooth than the S6 )

Its also has the best GPU with best LTE band ect allready onboard.

Only reason SD810 is not perfect are thanks to crappy stock arm core the custom core will solve this as they are quite similar to what was in the 805 but 64 bit instead of 32 bit.

Maybe because most of the propaganda is false?

People act like the SoC has problems when in reality the affect is quite marginal in real life. You can already see Youtube videos of people making 15 minute plus recordings in 4K with the SoC before heating up, which is on par with every other SoC on the market.

If you mean Sony it's not a good sample cause even the previous models got the same problem.

they should have gone with an intel atom processor,can't loose with intel man, best processor on the market, always has been

Let the overheating begin

At this point I hope MS has enough experience with high TDPs, I mean, the SP3 has a 15W (and more) processor and it throttled, they could use what they learnt there in this new phone.

Not a single DOA for M9 for all Telus in Canada.
Not a single DOA for the LG Gflex 2 as well.

So DOA? nope.

810 is fairly expensive.

What a NOOB you are!

Qualcomm SOC features the most LTE band of all SOC maker ( wich make it a better choice for worldwide phone and if you dont want to be forced to make one model per region )

Qualcomm SOC also usually feature about the best GPU ( Wich is currently the case on the SD810 with one exception the 64 bit quad core K1 from nvidia who will never be on a smartphone anyway )

Also Qualcomm have a very good relation with most OEM and they wont destroy thats because the SD810 is a bit more heat producing than earlier SOC produced by them.

So thats the real reason you noobie.

You are a idiot marorun

57. jack123 (Posts: 271; Member since: 07 Jan 2013)

Nope, I don't think so. Availability of LTE still limit outside of US. 3.5g and 4g are more demand for worldwide market.

ah yes, blind hatred. so so common these days.

17. may_czos (Posts: 938; Member since: 22 Nov 2014)

SD820 won't be ready when Microsoft wants it to be ready.

39. MuddyCow (Posts: 86; Member since: 09 Oct 2014)

It's usually the other way, the SOC is ready but the OS is not ready for it.

20. theguy2345 (Posts: 1216; Member since: 24 Jun 2014)

There is always the regular model, which will probably run the 808.

24. hound.master (Posts: 1044; Member since: 27 Feb 2015)

940 xl is a phablet so less heating
940 is smaller so it uses 808 so its the right choice

Good to see someone with a brain Hound.Master.

So tired of all those ppl who know nothing and talk.

The SD 810 give the M9 butter smooth UI and all app NEVER EVER SLOW DOWN OR LAG.

Also not a SINGLE one came back with overheating problem IN WHOLE USER from Telus in all the CANADA.

So its time to stop drinking the propaganda coolaid.

It will slow down over time because Android lags over time.
