If you go out and randomly buy a high-end, mid-range, or low-end smartphone that runs Android or Windows Phone, chances are that this has a Qualcomm system-on-chip inside. That’s because Qualcomm is the world’s largest maker of mobile chipsets, and its Snapdragon SoCs are powering the majority of today’s most popular handsets.
The first Snapdragon chipsets - QSD8250 and QSD8650 - were introduced in 2008, and we can still find them in once-famous handsets like the Nexus One, the first HTC Desire, or the Sony Ericsson Xperia X10. Since then, every relevant smartphone maker (except Apple) has used Qualcomm’s Snapdragon solutions.
But besides the Snapdragon-powered devices made by Samsung, LG, Sony, HTC and other well-known brands, there are also handsets that most people haven’t heard of. Some of them are really interesting, so we decided to present them in this article. In no particular order:
The IS12T was the very first water-resistant Windows Phone, as well as the first to feature a 13 MP rear camera. It sports a 3.7-inch display with 480 x 800 pixels, being powered by a single-core Snapdragon S2 (MSM-8655) processor clocked at 1.0 GHz. Because it was released in 2011, the Fujitsu Toshiba IS12T didn’t run Windows Phone 8, but Windows Phone 7.5. The handset was available to buy only in Japan.
