Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 810 will reportedly miss its sales goals this year

Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 810 CPU has had a rough year. There have been many, many reports of the device overheating, and although Qualcomm has tried to defer those claims as just rumors, it’s pretty clear that the negative press has hurt the processor’s market share. The HTC One M9 uses the 810, but LG’s G4 opted for the 808, and Samsung has entirely skipped the Snapdragon line for their own Exynos CPUs in the Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge. The only two major devices using a Snapdragon 810 are the One M9 and Sony’s Xperia Z4/Z3+, and neither of those devices are shaking up the market right now.

Because of all of this drama, it looks like Qualcomm’s latest processor is going to miss its sales target for the year. With underwhelming devices not selling as well as anyone had hoped and the lack of devices that are using the 810, this really shouldn’t be much of a surprise.

Regardless of this misstep, Qualcomm is still a very successful company with a very, very large chunk of the mobile phone market. Hopefully they get things back to smooth sailing with the Snapdragon 810’s successor.
