Key Features

The biggest selling point of the device would be its embedded chipset. The futuristic chip made by Intel is the latest attempt to lure customers worldwide. The Chip giant revealed Atom Z2420 at CES 2013, held back in January. Earlier known by the name of Lexginton, the chip supports single -core CPU, and clocks at 1.2GHz. The chipset is based on Hyper- Threading technology, and has x86 processor. The chip by Intel also supports full 1080p encoding.

Potential Rivals

In 2012, Indian - based mobile handset manufacturer Lava launched world's first phone - Intel Atom based chip smartphone - Lava XOLO 900. Since then numerous manufacturers around the world adopted Intel's energy efficient chip made exclusively for tablets and smartphones.

Intel is struggling with a lukewarm reception, as far as Atom chips are concerned as many analysts believe that Intel Atom chip pales in comparison to ARM-based chipset. Intel now believes that South - East Asia or even Africa, for instance would likely to drive the adoptability of Intel Atom chip.

A week back, Safaricom launched Yolo, a low -cost Android handset running on the Intel Atom Z2420 chipset. It was reported that - the Yolo is the perfect device made in collaboration with Intel, and would likely to draw many smartphone users in Kenya, Africa.

The coming of Intel Atom chipset would surely likely to draw a bigger pie in the coming days. With the unstoppable growth witnessed in the South - East Asian market , and on the top of it both India and China being projected as the next smartphone destination; the battle to be on the top will be more fierce and tough.
