I don’t suppose it is really too difficult to figure out just what this Qualcomm 4K Streaming Adapter is all about – the name itself does give the game away, doesn’t it? The chip behemoth has just revealed a reference design that will surely make a splash in the trendy TV dongle realm, which essentially would be a full-fledged computer that runs on the Android mobile operating system. How does the Qualcomm 4K Streaming Adapter work?
The answer is pretty simple, actually. All that you need to do is to plug the Qualcomm 4K Streaming Adapter right into the HDMI port of your TV, and since this is a Qualcomm product, it is hence far from being surprising to discover that there is a Snapdragon 800 processor located right underneath the hood, and it will come with quite an impressive range of connectivity options – including LTE Broadcast, of course. Who knows? By the time the Qualcomm 4K Streaming Adapter arrives at retail stores, it might actually feature a Snapdragon 810 processor within.
Does Google’s Chromecast have anything to worry about with the likes of the Qualcomm 4K Streaming Adapter? Perhaps, especially when one takes into consideration the 4K decoding as well as streaming field, which happens to be right up Qualcomm’s alley in this case.
