We reported earlier today that Qualcomm will be putting its Snapdragon 810 mobile chip in more than 60 “premium tier mobile devices” and it looks like some Windows Phone devices will be among them. The company announced that it will be continuing its partnership with Microsoft and that we can expect it’s high-end mobile chip to power at least a few Windows Phone devices.

Whether or not Qualcomm is having troubles with the Snapdragon 810 chip, there is no denying it is one of the powerhouses of the season and people are looking forward to devices utilizing it. LG kicked off first with the S810-running LG Flex, but we expect many more flagships with the same hardware to premiere on the MWC in a few weeks. Meanwhile Microsoft and Qualcomm will continuing their partnership and they confirmed we can expect Windows Phone devices to run on Snapdragon 810 later this year. The Snapdragon 810 chip offers an octa-core 64-bit processor (4x Cortex-A57 and 4x Cortex-A53), console-like graphics and full 4K support thanks to Adreno 430 GPU, plus LTE Cat.9 support for up to 450 Mbps downlink.
