Fujitsu Arrows X: First Tegra 3-Powered, LTE-Connected Smartphone in Japan

Fujitsu has unveiled the Japan’s first QuadCore LTE Tegra Smartphone called ‘Arrows X’ which is powered by NVIDIA Tegra 3 processors.It has a feature of 4.3-inch, 1280 x 720p HD screen.

There have been a few quad-core smartphones released in the 2nd quarter of 2012 but the manufacturers had to make a compromise if they wish to compete in the LTE market. It means that their devices would be given an LTE-capable dual-core processor just to showcase the lightning fast data download speed; the best examples are HTC One X and Samsung Galaxy S3.

The unique 4-PLUS-1 architecture found inside Tegra 3 enables the chip to use the cores needed for its operation; it shuts off other cores when not needed making the user experience superb still while economizing the use of battery. The fifth battery-saving core is an essential part of the SOC (system on chip) to deliver its promised ultra-low voltage consumption when idle.
