Qualcomm to put new meaning in low-end phones with six new Snapdragon 200 chipsets
Qualcomm is the undisputed king of mobile processors, due to its expertise in packing everything together, including the full connectivity suite. Its Snapdragon 800 brainchild is marching through and destroying benchmarks, and we can't wait for the Sony Xperia ZU to be announced next week to gauge the real-life performance.

In the meantime, however, the Texans are not leaving the humble low-end devices hung out to dry, as it just introduced not one or two, but six new chipsets in its entry level Snapdragon 200 family.

These are, naturally, meant for emerging markets, where cheap Android handsets sell by the boatload, but even there Qualcomm wants to set some standards with dual- or quad-core variants, supporting up to 8 MP rear cameras and 5 MP frontal ones, for instance. The phones with the new Snapdragon 200 line will also support up to 21Mbit/s HSPA+ or TD-CDMA, depending on the region, and can come in dual and even triple-SIM versions for a well-rounded suite.
