The fact is, all Snapdragon 600 and 800 series processors share the same architectural advantages needed to deliver Tango experiences in highly mobile form factors. Tightly integrated into a single chip, the components of Snapdragon processors are uniquely equipped to simultaneously process data from all five Tango-related sensors (gyroscope, accelerometer, and three camera sensors, including two new Tango-specific camera sensors: a fisheye motion tracking camera and a depth sensor camera).

Snapdragon 600 and 800 series processors also include an integrated global high-frequency clock, which performs highly accurate, uniform time stamping of all that sensor data, which is critical for enabling smooth augmented reality experiences, where 3D graphic overlays track virtually seamlessly with physical surroundings.

This broad combination of highly capable hardware, plus the portability of Qualcomm Technologies’ Tango-specific software optimizations, allows Tango to be easily deployed on the Snapdragon 820 processor and on future Snapdragon 600 series and 800 series processors. Because of our long standing efforts to achieve highly efficient and rich mobile user experiences, Snapdragon 600 and 800 series processors are capable of supporting truly breakthrough experiences like Tango without requiring substantial hardware modifications or software development.
