Coprocessors and the unique features they enable


Every contemporary smartphone comes with a system-on-chip of some kind under the hood – a pretty sophisticated single chip that hosts the main application processor along with a graphics processor, a sound processor, a multimedia processor, and a processor that handles image data from the camera, among other modules. This is called integration and it is a good thing – combining all these components on a single piece of silicon saves power and increases performance. However, Motorola and Apple dared to take things to the next level by outfitting their own SoC designs with coprocessors dedicated to tasks that aren't yet integrated into most common SoCs. To be more specific, the X8 Mobile Computing System inside the Motorola Moto X comes with a couple of coprocessors, one of which is responsible for natural language processing while the other handles what Motorola refers to as contextual computing. Apple has its M7 coprocessor ticking alongside the A7 inside the iPhone 5s. Its function is to monitor data from the phone's sensors and to offload the processing of that data from the main CPU. The benefits? Well, you get a number of unique features made possible by the extra modules. The Moto X, for example, listens to voice commands constantly, while the M7 turns the iPhone into a device capable of precisely monitoring the user's physical activity and will even allow applications to recognize when the user is driving, walking, running, or sleeping. Best of all, these features can be on at all times without that having a detrimental effect on battery life. Long story short, a well-implemented coprocessor can teach a smartphone some new, unique, and pretty neat tricks.



Touch ID


Yes, we know that the iPhone 5s isn't the first smartphone to come with a built-in fingerprint scanner. However, it is the first smartphone to have the feature built in and integrated in a way that makes it not frustrating to use. The scanner is accurate, it does not require the user to swipe their finger, it works even when the user's finger is placed at an angle, and it is easy to operate being built into the home button. And if that's not enough, it can be used not only for unlocking the iPhone 5s, but also for authorizing App Store purchases with a fingerprint instead of using a password. Simply put, Apple showed us how a smartphone fingerprint scanner should be executed.



The "self-healing" LG G Flex


It may sound like something out of a sci-fi movie, but it is actually true and it works. The LG G F lex smartphone has a back plate that can recover from light scratches, which are "healed" as if by magic in a matter of minutes. Think placing the phone and your keys in the same pocket – this kind of damage the G Flex should easily recover from. Sure, this kind of tech isn't new, but the G Flex happens to be the first smartphone to take advantage of it. Hopefully, it won't be the last, and maybe one day this "self-healing" technology will be able to make even more serious dents disappear. Check out this video demonstration of the LG G Flex's self-healing abilities in action

I like these.

Super cool!! Have only seen ubuntu and gravity light

Booked...coming back

I was here

Cool gadgets

Really cool gadgets. The one I'd really love to have would be the Google Glass. I'm sure The Oculus Rift would blow my mind too.

Juju power

.

1st to talk

It's a tech breakthrough for Nigeria that Innoson Vehicle can produce any type of auto mobile. 2014 promises to be superb. Hit like if you do celebrate Nigeria.

Oculus is amazing I've seen it, it has something like tray where u enter as u move round on it, running race but goin no where.

A friend of mine got the nVidia Shield last October. Pretty pricey device, and I must admit, quite solid. But I don't quite see myself coughing out that kind of money on a hand-held gaming machine. It also doesn't help matters that the games developed for this console have been thus far underwhelming.

Now, Ubuntu Edge, on the other hand, I liiiike.

Oh my Jeez!!! The guys creating and developing these devices are super crazy. I guess we dont have the same brain neurons; thinking is superb, execution is fantastic!

Nah. Nigerians are busy creating tribalism. Spewing garbage on the internet. "When this country breaks up, where will Itsekiri go?" "Nobody touches our oil!"
Shameless.

The Google Nexus 5 (with one of the world's best gaming gpu)

Ubuntu got my attention

The end is near indeed.
